So enjoy this set of desktop images. They include this machine fetish shot of the R Magic FD. And this [...]

Last weekend's World GT1 Championship races at Brno were once again supported by the European FIA GT3 series: four rounds of the six-round GT3 series will be on the GT1 package. For Patrick Soderlund and Edward Sandström, driving the Team Need For Speed BMW Z4 Coupé, it's been a frantic month with five races over [...]
We all have a list. Things we want to do before we die, and for me one of them, until last week, was driving a GT-R around the legendary Mount Panorama track at Bathurst in Australia.
