Yesterday, McLaren were handed a three race ban for misleading stewards at the Australian Grand Prix – significantly however, the ban is suspended. What this means in real terms is that, short of further evidence emerging or further breaches of the rules, McLaren should be fine to appear on the grid for the next three […]
If you’d like to have a go at winning a Peugeot 107 Verve and playing some cool games in the bargain, look no further than the Peugeot Drivesexy Academy. The minisite is extremely funky, with lots of appeal for the younger driver (and females). There’s some great advice on the site too, including the idea […]
A special version of the Volvo C70 has been released, with a great line in colour – if you like white. The Ice White has a lot of extra kit that comes at no extra cost. The £24,495 model has £2,350 of extras over the 2.0D S. As well as the white finish of the […]

This is part 3 of my track day experience, you can read part 1 here, and part 2 here. I was due to drive the Ferrari F430 Spider convertible, but unfortunately due to timings I couldn’t actually make it for this one.
