Contributors ROMAIN GROSJEAN We spent the day with Romain at Slovakia Ring during testing of the new Praga Bohema. In this issue he feeds back his impressions of the prototype after countless hot laps. He’s also a classic car fan and owner – and is enjoying life in Miami after his horrific 2020 Bahrain GP accident.
DOUG NYE Since his previous epic contribution to Magneto, renowned motor sport historian and author Doug has received the Royal Automobile Club Motoring Book of the Year’s Lifetime Achievement Award. In this issue, he focuses on the remarkable story of pioneer racer and engineer SF Edge.
PETER ALLEN Magneto’s talented art director is responsible for the award-winning look of the magazine, so it was a shock when he badly dislocated his shoulder at the start of this issue. “Don’t worry,” came the message from the hospital bed. “It’s not my mouse arm.” Well, that was lucky!
It was Don’s job to do justice to the sublime Ferrari 250GTO no. 4153GT in this issue. As Weathertech’s director of photography, he went beyond the call of duty, spending days shooting the car to show off its recent restoration to its painstakingly accurate 1963 Le Mans specification.
