A car that looks fascinating - Niki Lauda name in large lettering on the side and the famous fan from years ago at the rear, this is an experimental prototype vehicle called XP2. It must be brimming with high tech but no doubt is off the scale in performance- there is a fan at the rear no doubt sucking out the air so it is glued down to the race track?
Looks like the driver sits in the middle, with two rear seats set further back.

Niki Lauda in the morning warm up for the International Trophy meet at Silverstone. The car was powered by an Alfa Romei 115-12 F12. Lauda qualified 2nd on the grid but just before the race started the heavens opened and he slid off on the warm up lap. The surprise winner was a young Keke Rosberg in a Theodore- Coswortm
Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 27-Feb-25. Not one of my best photos, beyond the focal length of the 200mm telephoto I had at the time. I refuse to call it a Mitsubishi CRJ, because it isn't
This, the original version of Lauda Air became a wholly owned subsidiary of Austrian Airlines in Dec-00 and was fully merged into Austrian Airlines in 2005.
Named: "Herbert von Karajan" not visible on this side, 'Star Alliance' livery.
First flown in Aug-93 with the Bombardier test registration C-FMNW, this aircraft was stored and re-registered C-FRKQ in Jan-94. It was eventually delivered Bombardier Capital Inc and leased to Lauda Air as OE-LRA in Mar-94.
It returned to Bombardier Capital as D-ANIK in Apr-01 and leased to Eurowings, Germany the following day. It didn't stay long and was returned to the lessor in Apr-02. The aircraft was stored before being delivered to MALEV Airlines, Hungary as HA-LNX in Jul-02.
It spent even less time with MALEV and returned to the lessor in Oct-02 and leased to Adria Airways, Slovenia as S5-AAH in Dec-02. The aircraft was withdrawn from service and stored at Ljubljana, Slovenia at the end of Jan-11.
It was returned to Bombardier as C-GMGY in Oct-11 and stored. In Jan-16 the aircraft was presented to the British Columbia Institute of Technology next to Vancouver Airport and preserved as an instructional airframe.

We are back from Greece, this is our last stop, Santorini....and my tired toes from touring every site in Greece it seems.....wonderful place to float and soak your toes!!!!
Our daily topic....part of me.
Another one from the archives. My start in photography began as I was bumming around following the Formula One series in 1973-74 as much as possible.
This photo was taken at the Race of Champions in March, 1973 (42 years ago) at Brands Hatch. This was the beginning of Niki Lauda's Formula 1 career as he began driving for BRM.
This is a scan of a Kodachrome 64 slide. My camera at the time was a Pentax and the lens was a 2 piece 1000mm. The lens when assembled was nearly a meter long. All of my photos with this lens were hand held . . . I was young back then . . . who needed a tripod! :-) The focus is a bit soft at the front but spot on at the rear of the car . . . I still like it :-)
I situated myself so as to capture the drivers as they entered the hairpin at Druids. I would raise the camera and lens as I heard the cars coming up Hailwoods Hill. My left hand would be almost fully extended just to focus and support the lens. This is the entire image . . . nothing has been cropped.
A final note . . . I was able to get Niki Lauda to autograph an 8X10 of this image later that year at the British Grand Prix.
Long time no upload! I recently watched Rush, about the rivalry between F1 drivers James Hunt and Niki Lauda in 1976, and was blown away, so I decided to try making their cars in LDD (because I don't have the parts to build them IRL; some of them might not even exist in the colours I used here).

In 1979, Grand Prix racing legend Niki Lauda walked away from a record-breaking career to an even more ambitious goal: beginning his own airline. Lauda was a qualified pilot and had name recognition, so his startup Lauda Air, was instantly popular; it began operations with two Fokker F.27 Friendships, flying domestic charters in Austria. Lauda hoped to appeal to the casual and ski traveler: his stewardesses wore red ballcaps and blue jeans, while its aircraft were named after both classic Austrian musicians and contemporary rock artists.
At first, it looked like Lauda’s idea would be a failure: Lauda was competing in a very tight niche market, up against a hostile national flag carrier in Austrian Airlines. Lauda Air was so deep in debt by 1984 that Lauda himself was forced to return to racing to keep the airline going. Fortunately for him, a partnership with Greek travel agency ITAS and the addition of Boeing 737 jets reversed Lauda Air’s freefall, and the company began to turn a profit. The airline also began to get a favorable reputation for excellent service, and Lauda himself continued to have a direct personal influence on Lauda Air: he flew several flights a month himself.
In 1992, Lauda Air partnered with Lufthansa, which was seeking to break into the Austrian market, heretofore dominated by Austrian Airlines. Lauda continued to fly charters, but now moved into scheduled routes as well. As it continually expanded, it cut into Austrian Airlines’ profits, as well as that of domestic carrier Tyrolean Airways. Rather than continue to compete, all three Austria-based airlines signed an agreement of cooperation in 1997: Austrian Airlines would fly routes to main European hubs and the Western Hemisphere; Tyrolean would fly domestic and regional routes, and Lauda would concentrate on charters and Asia. To better help Lauda reach distant destinations such as Australia, Austrian Airlines financed Lauda’s purchase of long-range Boeing 777s.
Lauda Air was hurt badly by the post-9/11 airline downturn as well as the Asian currency crisis of 1997, and by 2001 it was in considerable debt once again. Niki Lauda stepped down and Austrian Airlines bought the controlling interest in Lauda Air’s stock. A merger was completed in 2005, though Lauda Air continued to operate in its own livery strictly as a charter airline. Austrian Airlines’ woes now impacted Lauda directly, leading to a sell-off of its larger airliners. By 2013, when a bankrupt Austrian Airlines was taken over by Tyrolean Airways, the Lauda brand was retired, though one Tyrolean 737 still flies with the Lauda Air livery to keep title to the brand. Lauda himself started another airline in 2003, low-cost carrier Niki.
Treviso Airport is the secondary airport for the Venice area and is served primarily by Ryanair, as well as Wizz Air. Lauda Europe is the 3rd iteration of the "Lauda" nameplate, and is now owned by Ryanair. This A320 was delivered new to Air Asia in 2006, and seen here arriving from Vienna as "Ryanair (RYR) 60ZQ".

Salon Rétromobile 2019 in the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Richard Mille stand, they had Lauda's 1984 Marlboro McLaren TAG Turbo Porsche.
In that era, most F1 cars had a 1.5l V6 with a turbo. Turbo's were hip, new and exotic. At a given time they became too powerful. In 1987 turbo's were no longer allowed and they went back to N/A engines. V12s/ V10s with 3.5 litres. Since 2014, F1 is back to turbo's. Allmost all modern fossil fuel street cars have turbo's now.
