some up and it crumbles to dust not much coarser than talcum power. Once you get below the loose crust, though, the bed is rock hard a perfect, non-corrosive surface on which to drive as fast as your car will carry you When the SCTA holds speed trials here, the runs are conducted on a 1.3-mile course marked by cones across the lakebed. This makes it much shorter than the more famous Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, but it doesn't stop racers hitting big speeds. The outright record for El Mirage...
Porsche 911 Gts At El Mirage
'Progressive, controllable and highly entertaining, it'll slide avatars on their screens. It soon became clear that my plan was crumbling, not just because the iPad system was infuriatingly even-handed, but worse because there seemed to be far more PDK-equipped cars than manual. And I really didn't want aPDK. Next morning photographer Andy 'Fly' Tipping and I wander out to our allotted car. It looks fabulous in the rich, bright Californian sunshine, the GTS s wide body sitting fat and happy on...

anti-lag BANG as you change gear and you're there. I'm getting carried away again, I know, but it's that sort of car - it makes you dream of being Rijrhl or if you're a girl Mouton. And if you don't believe me, just pop the satnav into Race mode, because it will begin reading you pace notes for the road ahead. That's right, you can have your very own electronic co-driver. Give it time and you'll probably even be able to download a voice file to make it sound like Phil Mills or Nicky Grist....
Audi A2 Tdi
I ow is surely the A2's time. I Compact but spacious, with clever packaging, an aluminium body and spaceframe chasis, and a titchy but torquey three-cylinder diesel, it couldn't be more relevant Yet production stopped five years ago Instead, Audi will now sell you an A1 a shrunken-down A3 that's thoroughly competent but distinctly charisma-free. The A1 is great at being a small Audi, then, but the A2 is great at being a small car full stop. Its aluminium construction sees it weigh just 990kg,...

Does it matter that, even on its everyday Dunlops, our Skoda Yeti is far faster through any given corner Not for a split second. In the Rallye things happen at more manageable, sociable speeds, and corners last longer, so you can do more on the way through them. And let's face it. corners are why I bought this car in the first place. Now it has round wheels all round, the...

By sheer fluke, I am the first journalist in the world to drive the car they call t really is purely by chance that I'm first into this quite exquisite recreation of the Lancia Stratos HE Hail there been a journalist here called...
Richard Meaden Reports From The Launch Of Gran Turismo 5 In Madrid And Takes
o here it is. After more than L five ears of b ood, sweat and tears, Kazunori Yamauchi's latest opus, Gran Turismo 5, has finally made it to launch. It's a mark of the pent-up hunger for this game that GTs servers - built to cope with 500,000 simultaneous players - are on the verge of meltdown on the day of the launch due to the sheer weight of numbers playing the game online. The system's capacity is rapidly doubled. As you'd expect, GT5 features a myriad of circuits, many of them new, plus no...

Bugatti Ebiio 1991
There was something of a rush to create the first carbonfibre-chassis'd supercar. The honour went not to the Ferrari F50 1995 , nor the McLaren F1 1992 . but the Bugatti EBIIO. French aerospace company Aerospatiale made the chassis. So familiar is the Elise now that it's hard to remember just how radical it was back in I996. It wasn't just the extruded aluminium tub, but the fact that it was glued together rather than bolted, reducing weight and increasing strength.
