Invoking the values and kudos of the original McLaren F1 GTR is a big deal. You can’t cash these chips in every year, or even every decade.
I AM LEGEND: Was this McLaren’s smartest move?

Have AMG just beaten the BMW M4?
No sooner had I submitted the copy and videos for the BMW M4 vs Lexus RC F test to Pistonheads, than I heard the AMG C63S launch drives were underway. This is the first decent review from the event in Portimao that I’ve seen. Kudos to Chris and Neil – that was an incredibly quick turn-around! And […]
Aston Martin V12 vs Porsche 991 Turbo S
Commissioned is such a formal term isn’t it? And if the result is a few days spent enjoying such supercars as these, it almost seems a bit ungrateful too.

And that was just one day out of a planned 10 day event. The event didn’t yield anything new or of specific and timely […]
VIDEO: Up and Atom
Not a week goes by that I don’t remember the day that Lee let me drive his Ariel Atom on the Destination Nürburgring trackday.
I’D LAP IT: Lexus RC F GT3
I spotted this little beauty in the garage next door. Lexus had brought it along purely for the purposes of reinforcing the RC F’s sporting credentials. I asked the event staff and instructors, but apparently it never turned a wheel in anger during the whole 10-day event. What a shame!
