    The European Le Mans Series (ELMS) is no doubt one of the biggest events in the racing calendar. Each year this event attracts thousands of motor enthusiasts, enjoying the racing from the stands or forming their own team and getting behind the wheel. The endurance racing is comprised of a quintet of six hour races, all of which are held at the biggest and most prestigious circuits across Europe. This makes it an exhilarating, intriguing and fantastic event which everyone can enjoy.

    The 2014 European Le Mans Series is currently underway, with the Silverstone circuit and Imola circuit races already being completed. The remaining races will take place at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, Circuit Paul Richard in France and finally at Autodrome do Estoril in Portugal on the 19th of October. There are some very talented teams and incredible cars this year which really add to the excitement, and any car enthusiast will be eager to get a look at what each team are driving and what modifications have been done.


    Obtaining Insurance for Racing and Modified Vehicles

    If you were to form a team and enter ELMS, or any other race, then you may find it difficult to insure your vehicle if it is modified in any way. This is because regular car insurers will deem your vehicle to be higher risk. This is because a modified car will be faster and will have added value. There will also be an increased theft risk and it can be harder to find replacement parts for repair. Generally, though, you will find that motorists with modified vehicles are not higher risk. This is because they will take better care of their vehicle because of the added value, and take necessary steps to keep it safe at all times.

    The best way to get a modified car for racing insured is to visit a specialist vehicle insurance company that has a passion for racing and modification. These companies, such as Sky Insurance and other similar insurers, are able to other modified car insurance at affordable costs. This is because these companies have expert teams able to help, with many of them even having partnerships with racing teams and racing part suppliers. So if you have a modified car that you are looking to race but struggling to insure then make sure you find a specialist company that will take an interest in you and your vehicle.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
