Dear Omss,
The Goodwood Festival of Speed is one of the biggest events on the motoring calendar. And we were there last weekend, driving up the hill in some cool cars and putting together some packed picture galleries. Click here to see our festival reports from Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can also read about Richard Meaden’s run up the hill in the legendary Jaguar XJ13 racer and see Roger Green's up close and personal pictures from a supercar run. In the news, there’s a new Bugatti Veyron. It’s a special edition Grand Sport convertible and, uniquely, some of it is made from porcelain. Also getting the special edition treatment has been Renaultsport’s Clio 200 and Twingo 133, with new Silverstone GP versions to coincide with this coming weekend’s British Grand Prix. This week we’ve reviewed the new Morgan 3 Wheeler, and we’ve a video of it indulging in some burnouts and donuts. It slides well for a one-wheel-drive car… Also in the reviews section, we’ve the automatic Lotus Evora IPS, new Audi Q3 turbo, Honda CR-Z Mugen and Ford’s muscle car rival to the Vauxhall VXR8, the 449bhp FPV GT E.
If you’d like some evo artwork as a print, canvas or mug, you can now get 20 per cent off our great photography. Click here to take advantage of the offer. And 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.
