Page 4 - Cool Britannia

Craig Blake-JonesEditor in ChiefTHEISSUECOOL BRITANNIAOur frst issue for 2017 is named Cool Britannia, it’s a celebration of how the United Kingdom has infuenced not only the automotive world, but style, music and design for decades. That’s not to say we’ve only featured British brands in this issue, far from it. We have a Danish Hypercar in the snow, an Italian rally legend in the mountains and a look at the new Formula One cars in sunny Barcelona as the sport enters a new era. As we are at the start of a new season, we’ve added a diary of our favourites and some recommendations for the year ahead. The Paddock Private Members Club, which we launched in response to our global readership of Ultra High Net Worth petrol hedonists, will be at most of these events. Contact Christopher Dunhill for more information about what, where and when.We certainly hope you enjoy the Cool Britannia issue as much as we enjoyed the cars we featured and the places we visited. We have added fashion and flm to our lifestyle repertoire by popular demand and while we look forward to the start of the exciting European Blancpain GT series and hanging out with our friends racing at British GT, we are all hoping the changes in Formula One will bring some atmosphere and racing back to the sport. The team at Paddock Life are already working hard on the next issue that will take us into summer via the Mille Miglia and Monaco Grand Prix.So, enjoy Cool Britannia and hope to see you all trackside to take in the atmosphere, hear and smell the action and share some of our legendary hospitality4
