It's a hard life living in the Eifel, with only the Nürburgring to play on. Which is why we at RSR Nürburg often indulge in a trip to nearby Spa Francorchamps. Like the 'ring, the Spa circuit is thrown across the geography like a table cloth over a fully set table. The climbs and drops are legendary. Also like the 'ring is Spa's weather...

Taking Eau Rouge for the first time in my life

It was my task to meet the boss at Spa and deliver our 996 GT3 RS hire car to the RMA trackday. In return I would be getting to drive Spa for the first time and take on board a little tuition myself...

This is what the new Maclaren supercar looks and sounds like. This is the successor to the SLR legacy - or at least half of it. We've got pictures and a world exclusive video inside. Click the link!

Reminds me of when men were men and cars were scary...

What's the point of having your own Nürburgring website if you can't put footage like this on the front page. BTG member AGTLaw took this footage over the weekend. I was 'testing' the fleet of Alfa 75s. This particular car is available to rent from just €200 a session. Rear-wheel-drive is goooood.

Without any further ado, here it is. The new mass production supercar King of the Ring - the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.

1. Nice gloves.
2. I hate that whole 'holding the wheel whereever it lands' thing. Quarter to three or die!
3. He almost HAS to hold the wheel like my grandad, as the rack is soooo long.
4. That is bastard fast! 171mph into SX?
5. Tidier driving could yield more than a few seconds... no speed into Wipperman and just floating through the centre of the track all the way from Eschbach to Eiskurve with no apexes. As for Schwalbenschwanz... ouch.
6. Because he turns in early at two of the key corners and is forced to feather the throttle until he's almost exited (Hocheichen and Bergwerk) he loses lots of time on the following flat-out sections (QH-FP-SX and Kesselchen run, respectively).
