Dear Omss,
Most popular on evo.co.uk this week is our video battle between the new BMW 1-series M Coupe and Porsche Cayman R. Chris Harris decides which high performance coupe is best.
We’ve also news and an amazing bit of video from Subaru’s Isle of Man TT lap record in a WRX STI. There’s an amazing ‘save’ by driver Mark Higgins, though credit must also go to the passenger who doesn’t flinch! See it here.
There’s a new Renaultsport Megane coming, the more powerful 265 Trophy. More details of the new Mini Coupe have also emerged, and we’ve had a first drive in the high performance John Cooper Works version.
We were at the Le Mans 24 hours at the weekend. You can read all of our race blogs here, or see pictures from Friday’s sensational supercar parade, which starred an Aston Martin One-77, Ferrari 599 GTO and 599XX, a Bugatti Veyron and much more. We’ve also a great selection of photos from the circuit car park. Bonneville speed week is another highlight of the motoring calendar, and this year we’re competing. evo’s Richard Meaden will be aiming for some Salt Flat records in the fastest Skoda ever, a seriously pumped-up Octavia vRS. Find out more here. Don’t forget to book your place on one of evo’s 2011 track events. We’ve some great competitions on evo.co.uk at the moment, too – you can even win a replica of a BTCC Volkswagen Golf GTI touring car! We've also loads of free downloads here, including a McLaren F1 digital magazine.
