Last Saturday, at Rally Chile, Hyundai pilot Thierry Neuville and co-driver Nicolas Gilsoul had a bit of a rough time. Both walked away fine from that, but as you can see, the WRC continues insane.
Okay, maybe not Group B-insane, but still bonkers.
Petrolicious just released a delightful video about the XK120, Jaguar’s first car to race at La Sarthe. Not as successful as the later XK120C from 1951, but in my humble opinion MUCH more of a looker.
You know the saying “what goes around comes around”? Well, I always believed in that. In every aspect of life, we’re subject to that law. In bigger or smaller proportions, karma is always there. And with this hobby it’s no different.

Handmade with silver, gold, platinum and diamonds, this little jewel is going on auction next month. Looks like bidding with start at US$ 90.000,00, so start saving those dimes and nickles.

A couple of days ago Top Gear posted a video where Top Gear Magazine’s Jack Rix visted Koenigsegg’s factory at Ängleholm, Sweden. The video was shot a few day’s before the unveiling of the new Jesko at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show this March, but it went live this week. It focus more on the Regera than on the new Jesko, but it’s always a delight to see Christian Von Koenigsegg’s passion for his cars.
