Is it that time of year again? I completely missed this and haven’t seen any advertising for it or coverage.

The RB17 is Adrian Newey’s long-awaited non-F1 car, a track-only hypercar into which he’s poured the contents of his planet-sized brain. It’s powered by a Red Bull-spec, Cosworth-made 1,000bhp 4.5-litre V10 that can rev to 15,000rpm, aided and abetted by a 200bhp e-motor. The name? When Covid stopped the world turning, Red Bull didn’t run an F1 car called RB17. Now the lonesome badge has a home.

Only 50 of the bespoke RB17s will be made. And even with its monstrous price tag of just under £6 million (€7.1m / $7.7m / R140m!) it’ll probably sell out (if it hasn’t already) before the FOS weekend is over.

F1 should buy one to use as the GP Safety Car.

Who would win in a wheel to wheel race between an F1 Car, a Rallycross Car, a Drift Hypercar and a Pro4 Truck? For a fair head to head battle we built the ultimate motorsports race track, with a combination of asphalt and dirt lines specifically optimised for the individual strengths of each vehicle which should create a nail biting race that peaks with all four cars coming together in the final corner.

The latest in the #FerrariSupercars lineage combines an internal combustion engine with hybrid technology to deliver 1,200 cv. Extreme aerodynamics and carbon fibre mean that it exceeds anything seen before on a road-going car, delivering the maximum performance of a motorsports-derived model yet retaining comfort and driveability of a production-series Ferrari.

I like the profile, but not sure about the Mustang-like front.

I have an opportunity to buy a 2005 Mercedes C200 Kompressor and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this or similar models?

I don’t know about that model in particular, but at that age, it’s just parts availability. My Pug 206 is from 2005 and parts just become hard to get.
