Before the events of the Turkish Grand Prix you could be excused for thinking life at Red Bull Racing was akin to a motoring paradise. The RB6 has granted the team pole position in all of the seven races to date. In all of those races, for the most part, the team has had a [...]

I really like Citröens. A lot. And even when they were mundane and faceless. Way back when the DS was something even your dad had forgotten about and they’d long since done everything they could to make their cars as conformist as KRudd. The thing is, during this period they actually turned out some hidden [...]

Mark Webber has qualified on pole position for the third successive Grand Prix at Istanbul. Webber’s time of 1:26.295 was 0.138 seconds faster than the McLaren of Lewis Hamilton and 0.465 seconds quicker than his Red Bull Racing teammate Sebastien Vettel. This weekend hasn’t been easy going for Webber who suffered an engine failure late [...]

The Jaguar XF is a beautiful car. From any angle, it doesn’t matter. It’s a good thing, too. Until the XF came along Jags had become a 1960s time capsule, while the rest of the world had moved at broadband speed into the noughties. Styling cues such as the chrome grille and rounded headlights remind [...]

Red Bull Racing team boss Christian Horner has moved to end speculation over Mark Webber‘s future by claiming the Australian will remain with the team in 2011. Webber is out of contract at the end of this year and rumours over his F1 future have been building. Horner, though, is expecting a fairly simple re-signing [...]

Mark Webber is back with his latest installment of Red Bull Racing simulator gigs. This time he’s at the anti-clockwise Istanbul circuit ahead of the Turkish Grand Prix this weekend. Of course, Australian fans will be hoping Webber can post his third successive Grand Prix victory. If he does, it will be a shame that [...]

One of the world’s most significant sportscars has just celebrated its 20th birthday. The car in question, of course, is the McLaren F1. The trainspotters among you will know the F1 didn’t actually have its official launch until 28 May 1992, and customer deliveries didn’t commence until 1993. But with this party McLaren Automotive honoured [...]

A couple of weeks ago BMW released news saying the M3 GTS was ready for its market launch. Overnight they released a set of technical specifications. You can download those specs after the break. The GTS has an increased capacity 4.4 litre V8 producing 331kW. It has BMW’s latest 7-speed DCT transmission, to offer lightning [...]

Filmmakers Tim and Nick Hahne from Stereoscreen have provided motorsport fans with a real treat. Their short film 24 hours in 19500 frames captures the essence of this year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race and condenses it into 13 minutes of total brilliance. Click on the image above to load the film’s website and get ready [...]

Driving your own car to a track day and home again after a couple of hours track time is one thing. But imagine driving from Stuttgart to Nürburg where upon arrival you spend 24 hours thrashing the car around the Green Hell in a race with around 200 other cars. At the end of that [...]

After teasing us in March Cosworth have now released full details for their CS400 supercar killer. Those words have not been used lightly, either. The Cosworth Impreza STI CS400 has a 295kW (400PS) 2.5 litre turbocharged four cylinder that propels the car to 100km/h in just 3.7 seconds. Only 75 will be made and they [...]

The Formula One circus will return to the USA in 2012. A new permanent facility will be built in Austin, Texas which has been awarded the rights to hold a Grand Prix in a 10 year deal set to run from 2012 through to 2021. Full Throttle Productions will promote the event and Managing Partner, [...]

A publicity stunt for the Audi A1 went a bit pear shaped in Brussels last week. The A1 was supposed to drive along the half-pipe, come to a stop and then continue on its merry way. An exercise to highlight the nimble handling of the A1, no doubt. It’s no surprise that out of the [...]

Evo magazine have followed Autocar with their review of new Polo GTI. It’s a bit more promising than Autocar‘s first thoughts, too: “Here is the best attempt yet at a convincing GTI-badged Polo, a car with its own personality freed from the shadow of the Golf. It looks right for the role, too, with its [...]

The stunning Porsche 918 Spyder with hybrid drive could be racing in next year’s Nürburgring 24 hour race according to various reports. After coming so close to winning the race this year with the 911 GT3R Hybrid the 918 has the pedigree to give an outright victory a big shake. With around 500hp on offer [...]
