Cannonball Re-run part 2 (CAR archive, February 2011)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Matt Jones, 17 August 2012 09:00

Welcome to Part 2 of CAR's Cannonball Re-run from the 2011 archive. If you want to remind yourself of Part 1, please click here. Waking up behind the wheel at 110mph is not a moment to treasure. Especially when Brock Yates Jr – veteran of outlaw road race, the Cannonball Run, and son of its founder – is shouting ‘TRUCK’ ...

Stalking Kimi (CAR archive April 2010)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 16 August 2012 09:30

This feels wrong. We’ve only just arrived at Färjestad – venue for the Super Special Stage that kicks off Rally Sweden – yet in a few seconds I’ll be standing next to Kimi Räikkönen, one-time F1 world champion, now full-time rally driver – the only F1 driver ever to make such a full-time switch. We’ve sneaked in to an autograph ...

The cars of London 2012's closing ceremony

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 13 August 2012 11:00

At last! After a fortnight of human-powered sporting excellence, London 2012’s final bow brought something for the petrolheads to salivate over, aside from the beach volleyball. In a typically self-deprecating nod to British gridlock, the Olympic stadium’s athletics track was turned into a homage to that other endless loop synonymous with endurance, sweat and tears: the M25 orbital motorway.As you ...

Cannonball Re-run part 1 (CAR archive, January 2011)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Matt Jones, 13 August 2012 09:00

‘Wanna court summons, buddy? You got it. Hey, Valleccio, take this asshole’s car. And you – get to the station.’ The fact that I’ve arrived in Times Square from New York’s JFK airport in under an hour is an achievement. A court summons within 60 minutes of leaving my Agony Class seat is, for want of a better word, miraculous. ...

VW Amarok in Patagonia (CAR archive, April 2010)

Rated 5 out of 55

Ben Oliver, 12 August 2012 10:00

I don’t know why I thought this was a good idea. I’m standing on a tonne of timber piled, unsecured, into the back of a Volkswagen Amarok with the tailgate down, and I’m clinging to its fat chrome roll bar because beneath me the truck is bellowing and bucking over soft sand and thick clumps of brush as it climbs ...

Phil Llewellin and the Battle of Britain (CAR archive, August 1990)

Rated 5 out of 55

Phil Llewellin, 10 August 2012 09:00

He was the right build for a fighter pilot, or a scrum half, and looked younger than his years. Eyes that had scanned the skies from the cockpit of a Hawker Hurricane, half a century before, glinted in Air Vice-Marshal Harold Bird-Wilson’s tanned and smiling face. ‘Birdy’ autographed my Battle of Britain book and recalled being shot down by the ...

Gavin Green on the world’s first good electric car

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Gavin Green, 09 August 2012 10:24

After more than 100 years of electric car dross, at last there’s a good one. The BMW i3, likely to go on sale late next year, is the first intelligently conceived electric car I have experienced. Rather than just a ‘normal’ car that is converted to run on electric power (step forward most EVs now on sale) or a ‘bespoke’ ...

Ben Oliver explores McLaren’s Unit 2 (CAR archive, December 2011)

Rated 5 out of 55

Ben Oliver, 06 August 2012 09:00

McLaren people refer to it as Unit 2. It is the polar opposite of their extraordinary, Space Odyssey McLaren Technical Centre headquarters in Woking, with its glass walls and cooling lake and famous architect and unnerving clinical sterility. Instead, Unit 2 is a low, 1980s, brick-built former factory on an industrial estate. I’ve been asked not to tell you where ...
