Each year, Liv­er­pool Motor Club holds three sprints at the clas­sic Ain­tree cir­cuit.  It’s a relaxed, soci­able and efficient event.

I always thought TVR’s finest moment was the Cer­bera — a com­bin­a­tion of clas­sic low-rider looks, power, and noise.  Still handled badly, but that can largely be sorted out.

It was great to see every­one at the event.  Hopefully […]

Almost worth it for the ooh-la-la.

Sorry David Coulthard, but when I saw this:

I saw red.  I mean, apart from some of his aston­ish­ingly pat­ron­ising com­ments dir­ec­ted towards younger drivers, he did noth­ing but con­firm that his F1 career has been a long period of jour­ney­man mis­takes.

If you’re in Bri­tain you’ll already be aware that for the past few weeks we’ve been get­ting rain of near bib­lical pro­por­tions, with floods caus­ing a lot of dam­age in the Mid­lands, and just a lot of heavy rain in the rest of the coun­try.

But […]

They start tun­ing things other than cars and motor­bikes. Things like, I dunno… chainsaws:

Car stunts have never had the flash factor of motorbikes…now it’s changed! It’s a viral, but good… here’s the two that have been done so far:

The first event you ever do is a great exper­i­ence. Don’t make your­self sick with worry, and ignore the people mak­ing fun of you and sug­gest­ing you’ll go out in a big ball of flames or sim­ilar! Acci­dents, in par­tic­u­lar ser­i­ous ones, are rare in sprints and hillclimbs, and if you take it […]

Second in a series of humor­ous, inter­est­ing or scary motor­s­port videos I’ve found on the inter­net. All I’ll say is that trees are hard, but for at least one per­son involved in this crash it was prob­ably a good thing.
