I was reading some Auto Motor und Sport article online, one where they compared the Porsche Turbo, Nissan GT-R (Black Edition) and Audi R8 V10 at Hockenheim. The Turbo won slightly ahead the GT-R which, in turn, was slightly ahead of the R8 V10.

In the same article they claimed that they wanted to do a northloop test with the same three cars, but the GT-R (Euro model - without launch con... read more

This is bizarre. An antique diesel Mercedes-Benz estate shows up for a drifting show and, literally, smokes all the competition!

This is no BMW M3 or Nissan 200SX - it is clearly not your typical boy racers drift car. But don't forget the old Benz still has a rear wheel drive layout and those classic Mercedes-Benz diesels are as robust as if made of solid piece of iron. Which, actually, helps a lot when you decide to fit it wi... read more

After the previous weeks once-in-a-lifetime chance to drive the Lambo LP670-4 SV at the 2.4 mile Thruxton track (UK), I was still in "supercar heaven" this week, as I had a drive of the 430 Scuderia 16M.

The long awaited Best Motoring 8-2010 episode hit the torrent network recently and it has to be an absolute "must-see" for every chronometer-head out there.

Unlike a couple of previous BM episodes that seemed to be centered around Honda's less-than-spectacular CR-Z, this one certainly isn't lacking in spectacular sportscars on Tsukuba starting grid. Three featherweights Radical SR3, Lotus 2-11 and KTM X-Bow are pitted against the notorious fat-assed heavyweight Nissan GT-R.

It's old school minimalism versus 21st century computer enhanced 4wd traction. Sounds like another Best Motoring classic to me!

Watch Tiff Needell take BMW M3 with Wads in the passenger seat around Thruxton. While drifting the car violently and reaching speeds up to 140 mph, Tiff manages to give his typical commentary and learns a couple of facts about fastestlaps.com.

Also I would like to remind that after what seems to have been a week off, Fifth Gear aired another episode. Yes, I know it was two days ago, but it's better to see it eventually than miss completely.
