All of them. All the time. It's an orbiting orgy up there...

It goes country by country... for example, if Marc Marquez wins at Laguna Seca this weekend, he will get to spray... a lovely can of Red Bull instead of champagne.

I still can't shake the feeling that Elon Musk has actually come from the future and thus knows where to make his money, ala 2015 Biff giving 1955 Biff the Sports Almanac...

We don't. We just put an engine in what the Chinese send over...

Saying the car is 'Chinese as a chopstick' is probably more a reference to the budget constraints applied to the car by the owners rather than any old-fashioned notion of jingoistic quality. Clarkson knows where the car is made, but it's not where the car is made, it's how good it is. And his review states that it is

Why not get the car insured here in the UK when the car touches down? Insurance docs will be in English, they can afford it even if its more expensive than at home...

In the UK I've found those who drive a Boxster to be stereotyped the aggressive showy type who are seething inside that they can't afford a 911, but want to show they can afford SOMETHING with a Porsche badge on it...

Now playing

1988. Jaguar XJR 9. The massive British crowd (and all the others who had fallen for the Silk Cut Jags). The massive relief and crowd invasion when they won.

That thing you're thinking of... is probably the Le Mans 24 hours in about 10-15 years time.

To remind people of what Nintendo can do? That they made a game 11 years ago that with the merest of modernising tweaks can look as fresh and contemporary as any other title on any platform.

I would totally agree, and the fact that the HD version looks merely 'tarted up' from the original Gamecube one is a testament to how good the visuals in Wind Waker truly were, for the time and even now.

I still wouldn't call it overpowered. It had 4wd, a mid-mounted engine, and a chassis that was designed (no matter how light it is) to take much more power than the production car actually produced.

Must've been when the Vtec kicked in...

What is it with General Motors and 300bhp FWD cars?

I'd actually nominate the pickup version of this, the Syclone... mainly because even though they're basically the same car, the pickup was even lighter at the back than the wagon, essentially because there was less bodywork.

Actually the road versions only put out a modest 250-300bhp, and for a chassis that was designed to take over 600+ I wouldn't call it overpowered...

For a car that's built on a ladder frame designed in the early 70's it is...

Dacia doesn't need to test at the 'Ring... they know how to design a car without it...

I think the main issue with the Salzburgring antics for me is that for what is meant to be such a high quality field there was no realisation that going this slowly would mean they wouldn't get a lap at all never mind one without any slipstream. They were all so obsessed with a slipstream-aided lap that they let it

I know this, but in common parlance it is still the Formula 1 World Championship. I even explained that in both those years the Championship was run to F2 regulations. It was still 'Formula 1', just not 'Formula 1'....
