It was one of those awful decisions: go down to Highlands to witness the very first (and utterly epic) motor racing event held there, or stay home and catch up on some work… Common sense suggested we catch up on the much overdue work, but the heart screamed that was completely and utterly wrong. Now […]

Excited about Gran Turismo 6 yet? No? Well, maybe you should be. Why? No, not because of the new trailer above (and it’s whining, annoying music…), but more for this little snippet of information that has been floating around for a while but has largely gone unnoticed: “The [Course Maker] feature, available at a later […]
Back to a rally theme, here’s the trailer for what looks to be (and is supposed to be, according to reviews so far) a brilliant new documentary about the sport. Easier Said Than Done looks at rallying (largely from an American perspective, which is interesting enough…) but also takes in the wider struggle to attract […]

Which is exactly what the newly-formed New Zealand Racing Drivers’ League has done and, as a […]
Kiwi Hayden Paddon and his equally-Kiwi co-driver John Kennard came back from their poor start to Rally Oz to utterly dominate the WRC2 class of the final day of Rally Australia to win all six stages in the category. And even show a few of the WRC boys how it is done. Their outright speed […]
With his Skoda Fabia rally car repaired following a rough start to Rally Australia, Hayden Paddon attacked today’s six competitive stages to take four WRC2 category stage victories and set times inside the top ten of the World Rally Championship (WRC) field. After the electrical issues which prevented Paddon and co-driver John Kennard from making […]
