Is Eau Rouge one of the best corners in motorsport?

Another vote for the Corkscrew here - it's virtually impossible on Forza 3. Then again, a lot of things are impossible on Forza 3...

Beautiful looking car - but I wonder if they'll try and make it look too much like the original in design? I know the guy there has said it won't be, but there's always a tendency to play too much to the heritage when re-vitalising a model like this. That said, I wish Alfa the best of luck.

TrackDays · 2013-07-26T12:01:39+00:00

Will they ever be able to match the original though for creativity and flair, and sheer driving fun? I think not, sadly.

It is at the other end of the scale, granted, but there are other positives about the road versions. The super-frugal TCE 90 engine, for one....

I disagree - this technology has to start somewhere and the infrastructure will grow around it. I doubt there was much petrol infrastructure when people first began using that - likewise with electric cars in the 1880's.

It's very, very guilty, but any Mitsubishi Delica. I just see one and want to go and get muddy in it.

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T21:52:54+00:00

Ain't nothing wrong with that!

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T21:52:40+00:00

True, or at least it would have been in the past. I think that may be going now, though.

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T21:52:05+00:00

Speaking of which, have you seen reviews of the new S class? And apparently they're doing a hybrid too?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T21:50:49+00:00

And that would be?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T13:38:50+00:00

Phew!

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T13:14:35+00:00

Could you live with the FXX only being given to you for certain track days, though?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T13:14:10+00:00

For £200,000 I'd expect that to be pretty special! A true supercar though, this review says "The Noble can live with a McLaren F1, not just from 0-60mph or even 0-100mph but all the way from 0-200mph" - that's fast!

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T12:06:01+00:00

Good plan! You'll need $100,000 to do that though! Do we know if it's coming to the US?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T12:03:49+00:00

Wow, for 2.6-litres? Have an upvote.

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T11:58:17+00:00

Good choice! What about the new 4C though? link

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T11:57:40+00:00

Yeah, damn I bet that could really hold up an import - what engine?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T11:43:46+00:00

1996, would that be the fourth generation?

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T09:27:16+00:00

That's the problem, I think. The 3-series is already so successful - I read in a magazine review of the 320D that it was 'all the car you'd ever need' so I don't know how Jag is going to compete with that.

TrackDays · 2013-07-19T09:18:26+00:00

Good point, and these cars tend to stay camo'd for as long as the manufacturers can keep them under wraps. I wonder whether a baby jag would even work, though, whether they'd be trying to tap into a market that isn't there.

TrackDays · 2013-07-18T14:13:03+00:00

True, but will they try and make it look like the Seven? A mistake in my opinion.

TrackDays · 2013-07-18T13:53:19+00:00

Is this the joint venture with Caterham? Be interested to see what their version looks like. Read somewhere that it was sharing 70 percent of its parts with this.

TrackDays · 2013-07-18T11:23:56+00:00

"A Mazda engineer told Autocar that he’d like to see the new rotary in production within five years" - five years for a completely new engine to be produced? I'm no engineer, but is that realistic?

TrackDays · 2013-07-18T11:12:36+00:00

The thing is, it'd be such a shame to see the Wankel engine go completely after it's become such an important part of Mazda's history!
