In the depths of darkness, the rapturous gods of thunderous passion have once more decreed their will; the Blancpain GT Series is to return to the once peaceful Kentish countryside. After a succulent success last year, the Sprint Series will once more grace the tarmac at Brands Hatch. The brutally British Bentley will join the returning marques of Audi, BMW, Ferrari and Lamborghini this year. The weekend will be nothing but spectacular, and there is no better place to watch the action than Stopwatch Hospitality.
Private Fleet Car Review: 2016 Subaru Liberty Premium 2.5L Sedan
Subaru has been an integral part of the Australian motoring landscape for close to five decades now and has sold solidly, if not spectacularly. That looks set to change, if March 2015 sales figures are anything to go by, thanks to the recent update to the Liberty range.
There’s an overall increase for the Japanese car maker of five percent for March, with a three point five percent increase on a year to date basis; Liberty itself sold 425 units whilst the ever popular Outlander moved an impressive and record setting 1180.
How World War 1 Changed Cars
Well, I hope everybody took a pause to “remember them” over the past weekend – ANZAC weekend. It’s been 100 years since the disastrous landings in Gallipoli, and it’s this sort of anniversary that gets people in a thoughtful mood.
Private Fleet Car Review: 2015 Ford Focus ST
The Ford Focus has been lauded for its looks and sharp handling since its release over fifteen years ago; A Wheel Thing checks out the 2015 ST with six speed manual and 2.0L turbo four.
Powersource.
Two litres. Turbo. Slick shifting six speed manual. Is it a goer? Oh, yes, very much. These numbers tell the story: 186 kilowatts (5500 rpm). 360 Newton metres of torque between 2000 and 4500 revs. Ford’s EcoBoost technology makes this an immensely flexible engine around town, allows safe overtaking and feeds a somewhat annoying drone into the cabin once the tacho sees 2500 rpm.
