INSIDE ISSUE Nº 06

​

Automotive culture has never moved forward by chance.

​

It has always been shaped by the people willing to challenge convention, rethink the impossible and leave their mark on history.

​

Issue 06 of THE SHIFT celebrates those individuals.

​

The designers who refused compromise.

​

The engineers who redefined performance.

​

The drivers who transformed machines into legends.

​

And the visionaries who continue to shape the future of car culture.

​

In our cover story, Peter George explores the bold vision of Oilstainlab, driven by twin brothers Nikita and Iliya Bridan, and the philosophy that challenges conventional thinking.

​

I sat down with Yannick Dalmas to reflect on a remarkable career that includes four Le Mans victories with four different manufacturers, while Alessandro Nobile follows the journey of Marcel Yoshida, Chief Commercial Officer at Zagato, where engineering meets art.

​

Andy Parker explores the relationship between David Hockney and the automobile, while THE SHIFT's new contributor, Glenn Allan, examines TAG Heuer's enduring connection with motorsport and the moments measured in seconds.

​

Motorsport history returns as David Keller revisits the spectacular 1996 International Touring Car Championship, Adrien Lefèvre relives the uncompromising era of Group C, Luca Moretti celebrates the Ferrari Enzo,

and Frank Saint-James explores the engineering genius of Gordon Murray.

​

Welcome to Issue 06.

​

Nine stories. Nine perspectives.

​

One shared passion for the people, machines and ideas that continue to shape Car Culture.
