Dear Omss,
We were at the 2011 Nurburgring 24-hour race this weekend. It’s fast becoming one of the best dates on the motorsport calendar, and you can see our race photo gallery, live race reports and video blogs and pictures of its broad and eclectic grid here. Find out how evo’s resident racers – Chris Harris, Richard Meaden and John Barker – got on at the Green Hell via video interviews. In the news, the last Bugatti Veyron has been sold, BMW has unveiled a special 444bhp M3 CRT saloon, we’ve more details of the all-new Lotus Esprit and there’s a picture gallery of Nigel Mansell opening Lotus’s new test track. We are competing in Bonneville speed week later in the year, aiming for 180mph-plus in a Skoda Octavia vRS. See a video of the car in shakedown tests here. Got the latest issue of evo yet? We give the new McLaren MP4-12C its most definitive test yet, pitting it against the Ferrari 458, Ford GT, Mercedes SLS AMG, Porsche 911 Turbo S and Noble M600 on road, track and on the drag strip. Get your copy here. See video of them in competition here.
