Tues, 7 May. 9.30pm After a flight out of Heathrow and a bewildering detour on a bus, we finally arrive in Maranello for a late dinner at the Museo Ferrari. There's bags of interesting stuff here, but the 288 GTO-based GTO Evoluzione [left] catches my eye - it never raced, but fed into the F40 project – as does the F40 Competizione, ...

Do winter tyres work? We've explained how snow tyres work in our separate story here, but now it's time to put them to the test. We've tried cold-weather rubber in a wide range of cars, to see if they really are up to the hype. The venue? Porsche's Experience Centre at Silverstone.

Do you use winter tyres? After several cold snaps in recent years, Brits have slowly woken up to snow tyres which can keep going where normal rubber gives up. The UK still has very few winter tyres in use - just 3% of tyres sold in 2011 were designed for cold weather use - but trade bodies say the uptake is increasing.  Should you ...
