Chris Harris' first drive of the new VW Scirocco will be published in the next few days, but in the meantime here is the video containing his first impressions. VW Scirocco - First Drive
AMG C63 vs Audi RS6 Video
The video feature of our track comparison is now available. Audi RS6 vs Mercedes C63 AMG at Silverstone There are a few sound issues within this video that we are aware of, but hopefully you find the conclusions of this unusual test as interesting as we
First Drive: Caterham R500 with Launch Control
Caterham are all about providing pure no-frills driving enjoyment, right? So what are they doing fitting a gimmick like ‘Launch Control’ to their ultimate R500? Having thoroughly enjoyed the R500 in both conventional H-pattern and sequential gearbox forms in the last few months – the latter in our recent Angelsey track test, where we compared it
Chris' Column – 25th June
If an international racing circuit’s importance was to be judged by the glamour of its corner names alone, Le Mans would have no peers. I thought this as I phoned Richard M the other Saturday afternoon and asked his whereabouts. “We’re at Tetre Rouge”, came the response.
Tetre Rouge: say it over and over for
Long term report: BMW M3
I feel bad. The M3 is meant to be a nice, usable and exciting everyday road car - but I can't stop taking it on the track. In fact I seem more drawn towards trackdays with this car than any other I've ever run. Perhaps it's because the M3 is so capable that you can

Out of office notification – see you at Le Mans
If things seem a little quiet here on DR over the next few days, we send our apologies from (hopefully) sunny Le Mans. Service will be resumed as from next Monday. If of course you are also visiting the Le Mans 24 Hr race this weekend, then make sure you come over and say hello.
Chris' Column – 12th June
Gloomy times. The price of fuel continues to rise, the treasury becomes richer and the motorist becomes poorer. It looks like we’re slipping into another oil crisis sometime soon –but while the accountants and the Peak Oil fanatics argue over the causes of this worrying trend (are we really running out of the stuff,
Long term report: BMW X6 – Paint Protection
There is a bit of office banter within DR about my obsession with detailing. Those of you familiar with Chemical Guys, Zymol, Microfibre towels and the Two-Bucket Method will know what I mean, however I have learned over the years that if you enjoy driving cars and keeping them shiny, then the only sensible
