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...

As promised! We're the first title to publish a video review in Britain, so I'm pretty chuffed with the turnaround - we filmed on Tuesday. Sod's law said it would be the rainiest day of the week. Anyway, the FL5 is MEGA.

Good news - I've just received an invite to the UK launch of this car at Thruxton in January. So watch this space for when we produce our video, hopefully before the end of that month (embargo tbc). I'm praying the cold snap lifts by then because lairy CTR vs wintry cold at Thruxton is...

Finally, we've been allowed to go live with our review of the Everrati GT40 MkII, which uses a genuine continuation chassis and body, and two electric motors. It produces 800hp and 800Nm of torque, although this prototype was capped at 100mph. Given how slippery Rockingham was that day, I was...

I won't be the only one on CS who's played with tyre pressures. I normally run my 182 on recommended front psi and 40psi at the rear, because I like the agility it enables. But I've never considered the road safety aspect. This video attempts to test safety above all else with braking and...

Yep! Didn't put my car away for winter until last month. It's all gravy

Just re-entered my reg and it says still compliant, so I think we'll be fine with the expansion. My neighbour has a 2001 Accord which is also compliant, and there are a few other 'oldies' in the area (all petrols, of course) that operate with no issues. I use the Clio almost weekly in the...

I've lived within the current zone (SE15) since it was introduced and regularly use the Clio during the summer months with no issues (or ULEZ fines!). So unless the emissions limits change, I'm not expecting the expansion to affect any 182 drivers. You know I never knew the Clio's Euro rating...

New video live here - and it's a bit more Clio-relevant than my other recent ones, what with the car on screen feeling in many ways like the Renault Sport Clio 200's spiritual successor. I really want to send my 182 around for a timed lap, but don't want to deal with the brake and tyre wear...

I've now met the car in person, for a follow-up video. Here's my social post of it. Vid to follow on YouTube next week! I get really nerdy with it and talk gear linkage feel, camber and seating position, so feel free to sub to the channel to see it when it goes out ;)

I'm a massive fan of the FK8 Type R, but I've long hated its fake grilles and vents. The new FL5 car could very well put those design wrongs to right - while adding loads to the CTR performance base. I've made this quick video to summarise a few things to expect before the covers come off...

For anyone wanting some new metal content, we have two reviews that have recently gone live (the RR one has just gone out):

Big news (well, it is for us): we've got Yianni onboard for some versus videos. And the first one has just gone live. Hope you enjoy it...

Thought we'd go down the petrol vs electric route with our latest video, which pits the Audi RS5 Sportback against its closely-aligned, but electrically-powered sibling, the e-tron GT. Both cars pack a punch and are sort-of grand tourers, but they're quite different on the asphalt: I know...

I loved the John McGuinnes one ^. TT riders have a different understanding of danger.. Another shameless plug here. But this is on the R8 V10, which I'm sure many of us can appreciate. Especially in what's increasingly looking like it's last year of production. Sad face... Planning on...

Quite excited about this one, because we've only gone and beaten the motoring press to getting in front of and, most importantly, inside of an Alfa Romeo Tonale. I'm a big fan of the car - and even more so since I saw this one in the metal. What do you think? I reckon it's the looker of the...
