As I’ve been in the market for a new car recently I have been test driving a lot of nice
hardware, one of the best was the new BMW M3 Coupe (6 speed manual) which I had for three days.
The new M3 is not that exciting from the outside and doesn’t stand out as being an “M” car in the way
that previous versions do, most people will probably think its just another 3 Series. However
those that know their ... read more |

 It has happened! Fastestlaps.com has just received it's 1000th car. And it happened to be Lotus Exige S Performance-Pack , submitted by Heyhuub. (The same Heyhuub who submitted car #100 two months after fastestlaps.com went on-line in December 2006.)
I have to admit - many of these 1000 cars don't really have to be featured in this website (one-off prototypes, kit-cars) but anyone should agree that 1000th car is a milestone. So is the fact that this website now has more than 2... read more |

 Auto Express magaizine in the UK have a feature drive of the new V12 Diesel R8...
"It's one of the world's sexiest cars - and now the Audi R8 is even more special. Because beating beneath the dramatic rear glass cover of this version is a diesel engine! The 6.0-litre V12 isn't just one of the fastest oil-burners the firm has ever built - it means the R8 is the quickest, most powerful car of its type on the planet, too."
Full report here. Video clip here |

 Good news for all of us. Fastestlaps.com now has a new awesome lap times chart! Check it out - Serres Racing Circuit.
It's being used by major Greek auto magazine "Drive" and according to guy nicknamed "A156", (Big thanks for him! He's the one who sent me this photo of "Drive" Top50 lap times) they use the same driver and exactly the same configuration so these lap times must be extremely releva... read more |

 I
recently managed to convince my local Aston Martin dealer to lend me one of their cars for the
weekend, by a very lucky coincidence I managed to arrange for a DB9 Volante to be delivered on my
40th birthday!
Turning 40 is not something that most people look forward to but I have to say the thought of a
DB9 arriving made the start of my birthday better than I expected! A few hours later I heard the
distinctive sound of a V12 burbl... read more |

I had a lovely red Brera on test for a few days recently and put it through its paces on some of my favourite roads.
I’ll start with how the car looks.. in a word pretty! It may not be the best looking car ever made but even Ferrari would struggle to make a better looking coupe. From almost every angle the car looks fantastic I would almost go as far as saying it’s a work of art! On the road the car gets a lot of admirin... read more |
