Celebrating the Legacy of the Benetton B190
at the Adelaide Motorsport Festival
Our latest adventure takes us to the heart of motorsport history, where passion, precision, and performance collide. We had the distinct pleasure of capturing the legendary Benetton B190, a Formula 1 car that once roared under the masterful control of Nelson Piquet and is now proudly owned by our dear friend John Reaks. This iconic vehicle, which graced numerous international Grand Prix circuits in the '90s, is a testament to the golden era of Formula 1 racing.
John and his dedicated team meticulously prepared the B190 for its journey to the annual Adelaide Motorsport Festival, held in March 2024. This event, a true museum in motion, showcases historic, rare, and significant racing vehicles, transforming the Adelaide Park Lands into a dynamic exhibition of motorsport heritage. Supported by the State Government of South Australia, the festival highlights the Malinauskas Labor Government's Motorsport Policy, celebrating the rich tapestry of racing culture.
The Thrill of Preparation
In our video, you can witness John and his team checking every detail of the Benetton B190, ensuring its readiness for the grand showcase. The anticipation builds as the powerful engine roars to life, a sound that resonates with every motorsport enthusiast's heart. This meticulous preparation and the journey to Adelaide encapsulate the spirit of dedication and passion that drives the world of motorsport.
