We are all aware of the high percentage of Finns who are freakishly good drivers, and this video shows yet another one of them.

We are back at Baypark again for this week’s BLAST, this time featuring Allan Moffat getting a wee bit of oversteer in his mighty Coca Cola Ford Mustang! As always, many thanks to Terry Marshall for the pic.
Toyota recently teamed up with internet prankster Rahat to film a new promotion for its Aygo city car. This involved Rahat dressing up as a seat and driving the Aygo around Spain. It was relatively convincing, but as you will see, the best reactions came from the people who realised it was a guy dressed […]
Here we have a BLAST from 1974 with Dennis Marwood in his Camaro at Baypark. The “Develo Racing” sign on the nose signifies that the legendary Dick Bennetts was involved in the engineering of the car. Many thanks to Terry Marshall for the pic.

He scampered 305 metres across a river and what is even more impressive, he achieved the record DURING A […]
The official Autocar road test of the magnificent McLaren P1. Not much more needs saying, really…
Last week we posted an article about a fascinating documentary about women racing in Palestine called “Speed Sisters”. Well, now it has only two days to go before the deadline for fundraising for the completion of this documentary is up, and they are almost there! As of the writing of this post, the filmmakers have raised $48,805 […]
The kids in this video are extremely excited to meet a real life Transformer. And, let’s face it, we would probably react in a very similar way. Because this is AWESOME! Okay, we realise the guy is wearing a Bumblebee mask from the God-awful Michael Bay Transformers movies and Bumblebee was in no way, shape […]
