In 1835 the first motorised public transport appeared in Belgium. It was a train driven by a steam engine that passed trough fields and town at an unbelievable 40 km/h! This railroad had many opponents, one of their arguments was that this would cause physical damage to humans and to animals, even by only watching its speed…

But the fascination by speed never stopped. Time for a series of posts about speed!

To begin with, a beautiful ad by Shell, about ferrari’s racecar evolution.
