Given the criteria of exciting corners, crowd appeal and location what track would you nominate? Lewis Hamilton puts Monaco at the top of his list of favourite race tracks whereas Michael Scumacher rates Spa as number one.

With fourteen hot events in the calendar, American tuning car fans are in for a real treat. Banging bodies, banging music and some pretty decent after market cars too. We bring you a selection of videos from the first two shows which ran earlier this month. As you will see the calibre of modifications, level of entertainment and the talent of the dancers are all well worth a group oogle at the office! |

Your parents may have told you that to make your mark on the world you had to practice day and night, make sacrifices and be hugely dedicated to a cause but its unlikely they were refering to being a notorious doughnut-champion!

All of these drivers are participants of the Infineon Raceway`s weekly Sonoma Drift powered by NOS program. |

Albert Park saw an exciting support race line-up last weekend for the Australian GP with the V8 Supercars among the most anticipated. The contenders hadn`t even reached the end of lap one when current V8 champion Jamie Whincup spun and was hit in the side by Karl Reindler`s Holden. David Wall, Taz Douglas and Russell Ingall, also driving Holden`s, were next to join the pile-up before there was a fuel leak and the race was red-flagged. All climbed out in heroic fashion, however. |

Inspired by the success of its sister brand, Land Rover and its trendy Evoque model, Adrian Hallmark who is the global brand director sees the Crossover as giving Jaguar more `geographical growth` in emerging markets.

The Japanese tuning firm Office-K organised a meet for owners of modified Phantoms last weekend at Tokyo’s Dubai Street. It must have been quite a treat for passing shoppers to see examples like the WALD Black Bison Editions and Mansory`s extended wheel base offering. The pink wrap also seen here won`t be everyone`s idea of good taste but if it was advertising candy floss or ice-cream we`d get it (turns out it is promoting a university - is that for Playboy bunnies then)?

Top Gear have recently shared this video of when it launched in America last year. This Dodge Viper SRT opened the show with a Cobra Attack helicopter giving it a three-life chase. Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust gave an entertaining commentary of the whole video game-style assault and as you can see, the same playful, entainment focussed, high octane fun is the crux of the show. |

Witnesses of the Senna Era of Formula One will remember the many changes race cars went through in the 1980s; improved airflow, the appearance of side skirts, turbo-charging and longer lasting tyres. Safety of course was still pretty hairy by todays standards but the cars and drivers were undoubtably hugely exciting to watch. One of Ayrton Senna`s most memorable performances was in a Toleman TG184-2 Formula One car which will be up for grabs at Silverstone Auctions on 16th May. |
