The Viper is shown driving past what appears to be a cafe of some sort. If you look closely, you'll notice a silver car parked on the curb side in the rear of the image. On me your voice falls as they say love should, like an enormous yes - Philip Larkin, For Sidney Bechet Just about all motorways have 70mph limit normally. I'm fortunate to live in the north of England where our motorways are comparatively uncongested and you can cruise for long stretches at 80mph or more. Oops typo, should of course read 70mph.

Energy usage was high on my 20” wheeled M50 test drive on the Northern M6 between Gretna and Penrith… ~2.2Miles/KW on my test drive. This was at a speed that I was passing more cars than passed me. But, as you suggest, scope to slow down without impeding traffic. Yet to be honest we're still not sure the M50 is the optimum i4. Sure it has frankly brutal acceleration and grip, especially as the test car had optional 20-inch wheels and tyres. But perhaps in pursuit of all that, it sacrifices the delicacy and feel of the best of BMW's cars. Whereas the cheaper i4, the eDrive40, has nicer steering, a more compliant ride, and a lighter-hearted RWD attitude to corners. It's not so fast, but it's more fun on real roads. During my life in GB I have experienced average motorway speed from 0 to 65 . There are a lot of traffic jams especially close to exits or near London and other large cities.I keep reading this too. And then I think of where and how I drive. Then I decide that I am happy to give up some feel and fun for massive acceleration out of corners and more grip in them. I just want to be able to turn off the front motor and traction control now and then. Also, the M50 has far more battery braking. I very much like one-pedal driving, and one of my complaints about the I-Pace and Model Y is too little braking. Getting around twice the regen will be a big deal for me. It means I can go faster and closer to a corner while still having one pedal driving. The witchcraft at its heart is the fact that somehow F1 2019 manages to translate all the baffling nerdery of top level motorsport into meaningful, understandable gameplay. This means you can juggle tyre strategies, pit windows and hybrid boost levels without feeling like you're taking an Applied Engineering exam. It's also got some of the smartest, raciest AI in any game, which means every Grand Prix plays out like an end of season highlight reel. The only difference being, Lewis Hamilton might not actually win for once. James already mentioned something on the Simon Mayo programme about them doing an "art exhibition". Well, it turns out it is at the Middlesbrough’s mima art gallery and they are filming this Saturday. Do we have anyone from around there on this board? While in the end this year's F1 championship served up some brilliant races, the official game dishes them up every time you hit the start button. F1 2019 might be the culmination of years of incremental improvements but that's exactly the reason why it's also one of the best racing games around.

Blur took real cars and real locations, but then crammed them full of Mario Kart-inspired power-ups and more neon lighting than an 80s themed nightclub. The result was a game that had two major sources of satisfaction: legitimately rewarding handling and the air-punching joy of clattering your mate with the game's legally distinct equivalent of a red shell. It shouldn't have worked but it absolutely did, like the chocolate covered pretzel of racing games. At the end of the 'testing' of the car, Stig dropped it off at the Autocar H.Q. for their view. The car was badly criticised for having bad braking, handling and the worst car design ever. It did, however, get one half-star better than the G-Wiz. The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust (among other names) is a diesel-electric hybrid car that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond made in the Electric Car Challenge in Series 14, Episode 2. It was built with the intention of making a decent electric car, not just an overpriced car that's about as attractive as a baboon's bottom. The only problem with being the best looking electric car is that it would have to be better looking than the Tesla, which most would argue it is not. The Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust had no problems in the price department but was designed by Jeremy and described by Top Trumps as looking like a 'slow-moving outside lavatory'. Its predecessor was named Geoff. This time, it was armed with more batteries and a diesel generator to recharge said batteries. While the car was still slow, it was considerably faster than Geoff and in a drag race it easily beat a cyclist, a runner and a G-Wiz. The exterior was still the same, but with a sprung "push bar" in the front, for protection during crashes. Richard put on narrow tyres from a Citroën 2CV to reduce friction. The generator that James installed would often fill the car with exhaust gases. This would eventually kill one of The Stig's cousins, Janet Stig-Porter. It now sits proudly on display at World of Top Gear, National Motor Museum, Beaulieu. As of 2021 we found out Sometime in the last Couple Years it was removed from the World of Top Gear to make way for newer Top Gear cars. In a wind tunnel, the car was so aerodynamically poor that it slid across the test area and we are told that it crashed into the fans at one end.An ill-fated attempt to mix Mario Kart with Project Gotham Racing, Blur was bought by approximately three people. But those three people will have been treated to one of the most exhilarating and underappreciated multiplayer racers of all time.
