Super-SUV test

May 6, 2009 |  14 Comments

Audi’s new Q7 6.0 TDI quattro takes the super-SUV into uncharted territory in terms of price and power, but how does it stack-up against its petrol powered rivals? And can any of them claim to be true drivers’ cars? We went to Cadwell Park to find out... and to have a bit of a laugh....

Nissan 370Z – what do you want to know?

Jan 6, 2009 |  40 Comments

DR is off to sunny LA to drive the Nissan 370Z next week (yeah we know, tough life and all that). The programme is purely road based but we should get two full days of driving on everything from dull freeways to proper passes that run through the Californian hills. We're already huge fans of the...

Long-termer shootout at Curborough Sprint Track – New Feature

Dec 31, 2008 |  No Comments

We deliberated long into the night. The tender for DR’s end-of-term bash had already been vexing the directors’ of the major international raceways for a few months when the deadline approached. Despite strong pitches from Fuji and Laguna Seca and an impassioned appeal from B. Ecclestone Esq to consider his little place at Paul Ricard,...

DR at RMA 'Ring trackday

Oct 31, 2008 |  2 Comments

The November RMA event at the Nürburgring is, unquestionably, the finest track day of the year: Two days of uninterrupted lapping, lashings of cold, fizzy beer (after the track is closed, obviously) and countless fictional tales of derring-do at the world’s finest circuit. With one proviso: the weather in the Eifel can be very unhelpful...

UPDATE: Scuderia v LP560-4 v GT2

Oct 15, 2008 |  24 Comments

15th October 2008 – second update Well the good news is that we’ve brought the cars back together again, all of them now in rude health and ready to be tested to the limit. The bad news is that Silverstone today was a washout.  Who said we were in the middle of an Indian-summer? We...

BMW 123d vs Nissan 350Z

Jul 15, 2008 |  34 Comments

So we went all the way to the Nürburgring and discovered that ‘diesel’ and ‘fun’ aren’t mutually exclusive. In fact the 123d was – whisper it – more fun than the petrol-engined 135i in many ways. Maybe our expectations were lower, maybe it punched above its weight because the 1-Series Coupe has done thousands of...

Long term report: BMW M3

Jul 7, 2008 |  42 Comments

Funny how there seems to be an M3 at every set of traffic lights I pull up to or every roundabout I’m waiting to join, and yet seeing an E60 M5 is still a very rare treat. You’d think after an M3 it’d be natural to trade-up to an M5 – but that clearly isn’t...
