It’s authentically old-skool, with a narrow ribbon of tarmac winding it’s way amongst the beautiful rolling [...]

Well [...]
I was trawling YouTube and came across an event called Gatebil, which is held annually in Norway at the circuit of Rudskogen. It’s just one big nutty event where fellas come down in hoards both to spectate and to blast their incredibly modified cars around the circuit. Honestly, in South East Asia with it’s track [...]

A cool hillclimb video with the Subaru Rally Team USA up Mt. Washington.

Watch the 8 minute video to see just how hardcore a hillclimb can be and how a team prepares for [...]
How does a £150,000 (yup, that’s British pounds) Honda CRZ sound to you? Insane ain’t it? Well how about if we told you that it’s also probably one of the most fiercest and noisiest hybrid? Still doesn’t change a thing does it? Well thank god then that this Mugen CRZ is just a prototype, built [...]
