If you account for inflation, it's not as different as we probably all think. The corrected below price is about what you'd have paid for a nicely-specced Fiesta ST before they killed the model off last year 😣 And that's dispite the amount of tech, safety features and literal car (they're all...

Almost proud of my car for having an issue that a garage of 40 years has never seen before on any car. My ABS, ESP and SERV lights come on together every now and then, and my ABS either fires unnecessarily or it doesn't work at all. So I took the car to a garage who plugged it in, and noted that...

Honda made both one of the best and probably THE worst cars I drove last year. The new CTR is absolutely fab. The new e:Ny1 is absolutely not.

I've been lucky enough to drive F3, GTE and LMP3 cars for work, but this Hayabusa-powered featherweight is the most reactive one I've driven yet! New video here. Buddin g F1 drivers, contact Le Mans Coupes if you fancy one 😜

I've been driving the hybrid Renault Clio E-Tech for a new review, and I must say, it doesn't half go alright. Nippy, great riding and decent to look at, it feels like a proper city baguette that can easily handle life on the motorway. Would I take it over a Fiesta mHEV? Probably not, but only...

I know a few Clio owners on here have switched to (and sometimes from) CTRs, so our new one might be of interest:

How different the world was when this thread was last contributed too... I recently switched to -3 degrees on the front and the tinest amount of toe out and it's transformed the car. I once ran -4 (for a few weeks) and it was so darty it felt like a proper race car (I've raced a Mini JCW...

Another hot Hyundai video here, this time featuring the 280hp i30N. Which was (to my surprise) just 0.09 apart from the i20N. But which is quicker..?

A very Clio-relevant video here: Hyundai i20 N at Rockingham. I genuinely think this car feels like the Clio 182's spiritual successor of the 2020s, so I'm very happy to report that it (like the Clio) has punched well above its weight on our leaderboard :LOL:

Thanks! I did bring my race boots but I didn't want to alienate non-track nerds... 😅

Another record! And this one's the overall lap record - not just our leaderboard one! I'm still giddy after driving this nutter as quick as I could...

For anyone interested in Rockingham's timesheets (no? Just me then..), we've set a new production car lap record on the National Circuit with the GT3 RS in this video. And guess what, we've also set an overall lap record with a track car that's due to feature in a video next month. Any guesses...

I am so relieved that this lived up to the hype. This or a Cayman GT4? That's a tricky one - although as a daily driver the Lotus and its forgiving ride would be hard to beat...

The annual Goodwood Media Day is increasingly becoming a great way for growing channels and content creators to get behind the wheel of cars that they would otherwise not be granted access to. I've been struggling to get press cars from McLaren and Maserati, but at this year's media day, I...

But can you guess how much by? Here's a clue: it was VERY close. New video here, for those who are interested and want to see some Seven 420 R dancing...
