Honda has new cars for this season in the BTCC championship. The previous 5 cars supported by Honda were built in 2012 would you believe.

Some interesting info on how the BTCC keep their racing series competitive, with a 32 car grid separated by only 1 second!! F1 could learn something here I think.

Good job he had the Halo to protect him ....

One of the winglets on Brendon Hartley's Toro Rosso decided it didn't want to be a part of the STR13 anymore.
By Dan Thorn 12th April 2018

When it came to cars shedding aero parts during the F1 Bahrain GP, Romain Grosjean’s Haas generally had things covered.

The Toro Rosso of Hartley also wanted in on the action, though. During the race, one of the winglets attached to his Halo popped off, just like that really awkward piece of a plastic model kit that simply refuses to stay glued into place.

I see that Nico Rosberg has invested in formula e, the petrol engines are on the cusp of being overtaken by battery power!

Fernando Alonso Just Won On His WEC Debut

It’s been a long time coming but Fernando Alonso has finally won a race. The Spaniard hadn’t stood on the top step of the podium since the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix, but returned to winning ways on his WEC debut with Toyota.

That sound reminded me of a remote control car I had many years ago, I soon lost interest in that too.
