Volkswagen has claimed the unofficial front-wheel drive record with its limited edition Golf GTI Clubsport S. It’s a shame this video is so dodgy, but that’s all we’ve got for now. The lap time claimed is 7 minutes 49.21 seconds, which is a bit over one second quicker than the Honda Civic Type-R. If I […]
In a little over one month from now I will be making Nürburgring trip #2. Given the last one was back in 2006 it’s not a great hit rate is it. Alas, being 15,000km+ away makes it difficult to pop over for a weekend visit! So, once again, I find myself watching videos of cars […]

With 440hp and all-wheel drive at their command the British duo should be capable of a top 10 finish. They will […]
