2016, WHAT A YEAR! From riding in the Regera with Christian von Koenigsegg, to take 3 of my cars on the epic Fuel Faction ENA tour to Montenegro; there were some stunning opportunities for me to enjoy and to share with you across social media. Deciding on one specific highlight is virtually impossible but for a small selection it starts with the two mentioned, then adds the back to back drives of the Ferrari 288 GTO, F40, F50 and Enzo; seeing my Aston Martin Vantage GT8 being built in person, and finally jumping into a McLaren F1 for some hot laps on track.
I’d like to say a huge thanks to all of you, without whom much of this would not be possible. I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope you have an amazing 2017!
Thanks for watching, Tim

The RC F is loud aggressive and not really for this day and age. Much like a T-Rex. But with killer looks, proper V8, noise of the gods… What’s not to like?

This is the pinnacle of American time attack. The granddaddy, the legend, the one people from all over come to participate in – this is Super Lap Battle, run side by side with Global Time Attack’s final round of 2016. While Buttonwillow Raceway’s clockwise 13 record didn’t fall this year, the competition was intense, especially in Unlimited FWD Class where the existing high mark was reset by Will Au-Yeung in the Vibrant/PZ Tuning Civic Coupe. In fact, action was heated in most classes, from the entry-level Enthusiast groups to the no-holds-barred Unlimited category, featuring cars as varied as the WRX, S2000, Cayman, Mustang, Viper – even a Lamborghini Huracan! And so many others! Relive all the action from North America’s biggest time attack!

The inaugural Super Street 86 Showdown Presented by Continental Tire puts the most popular RWD entry-level tuner car directly in the spotlight, inviting selected Scion FR-S, Toyota 86 (ZN6 chassis), and Subaru BRZ (ZC6 chassis) owners to whip their machines on Streets of Willow Springs’ 1.6-mile, 14-turn road course. Open to naturally aspirated and forced induction street-tuned vehicles with a preference toward enthusiast- and tuner-built cars, all ran a set of Continental’s new Ultra High Performance (UHP) ExtremeContact Sport tires in a winner-take-all time trial.

Time for some more Fuel For Thought! Today’s topic is all about ‘Car Flipping’ and what exactly that means. For this video I’m out driving in my Dad’s Aston Martin V12 Vantage on a lovely winter’s day just north of London.
The topic is quite interesting because I see a lot of accusations in my direction but I wanted to clarify more about what it means, why it’s unreasonable and how it actually relates to this world.
Let me know what you think and other things you’d like to know more about!
