In scarcely six hours time I’ll be undertaking the drive to Knockhill in order to see the British GT up close and personal. Naturally I’ll be reviewing the action from the day upon my return. In the meantime, I suggest you watch the continuing TT coverage and make sure to check out the BTCC coverage […]
In the words of Alan Partridge, “Britain has some of the safest roads in Europe“. Whilst that might still be true, if you travel up North to my neck of the words you’d very quickly discover that the local neighbourhood has some incredibly massive potholes AND speed bumps. Granted, one is accidental, the ohter is […]
Granted, he may not be going to win the Drivers’ Championship this year, but you’ve got to admit that the picture above is pretty special. Bear in mind that it’s actually created using the oil from Hamilton’s own McLaren F1 car and it makes it just a little bit more special. Painted by David Macaluso, […]
Jenson Button has done it again – he coasted to a comfortable victory in Turkey after Sebastien Vettel managed to make a huge mistake on the first lap of the Istanbul Grand Prix.

Terrifyingly, this machine has a more than serious 1,000bhp per tonne thanks to the setup of the car. Looking like a go-kart in steroids, when you strap yourself into a ‘standard’ […]
I’ve said before that after seeing the performance of Lewis Hamilton last year, I became a huge fan. However, no-one can doubt the ability (and car mind you) of a certain Mr Jenson Button. I’m not the only one to notice his stellar rise to the front of the Formula 1 grid. In fact, there’s […]
The police are getting in on the act of the new Jaguar XF – and who can blame them! The XF is currently being evaluated as a pursuit vehicle and produces 271bhp from a 3.0litre diesel, so it should be able to keep up with just about anything else on the road. There’s also the […]
The British GT Championship is coming to Knockhill and I’ll have the pleasure of attending on the 13th June. Massive V8 and V10 monsters will be roaring around the track – much to the delight of the many fans in attendance. Here’s the official info: The British GT Championship is one of the most prestigious […]
