Love supercars? Have bags of money? There's only one club you need to be a part of
Maybe it's the guy who wears his silk pyjamas 24/7. Or the chap intent on showing me the 16 working pistons in his Bugatti watch. Or maybe it's the loon in the Ferrari Monza who sets off at max revs and noise. Every. Single. Time.
Perhaps it's the man pitching his car curation business over dinner to this veritable Dragons' Den of potential investors. Or the family that turned up with five Koenigseggs. Or the husbands discussing handbags as investments while their wives check their glossy nail polish. How about the bloke who's got his own five-strong video crew in tow? Or the Dutchman who's painted his 918 Spyder to pay homage to the VW Polo Harlequin? I'm hoping it's him, but it's probably not. I'm looking for the character who most epitomises what's going on here. To be honest, any of them would do. This could easily be a story about the people rather than the cars.

RICCI'S PLAN TO SELL THE PAJERO IS IN TATTERS AFTER ITS PAINTJOB
A few months back I shared an unusually sensible plan of tidying up my Pajero Evolution with the goal of selling it to help finish the R34 GT-R restoration. This was approved by Steve @ SR Autobodies who agreed to pause progress until it was sold, resulting in a rare moment of automotive zen. For one car must be sacrificed in order to revive another.

Q: IS IRACING'S DOMINANCE UNDER THREAT?
If you know anything about sim racing, you'll be aware of iRacing. It's the thing Max Verstappen does when he's supposed to be getting a tight eight hours of sleep ahead of a Grand Prix. It's also the most popular online sim racing service, with hundreds of thousands of active users. Nothing else compares to it in terms of fair and competitive online racing, and if you want to experience the thrill of being a professional racing driver but your dad didn't own a petrochemicals company, iRacing is the closest you'll get.

“THE LIGHTEST BENTLEY FOR 85 YEARS... I'LL LET THAT ONE SINK IN"
Only the fourth model in Bentley's history to wear the Supersports badge is by far the biggest swing of the bat. 'Super Sports' v1.0 arrived exactly 100 years ago, was the first Bentley capable of 100mph and only 18 were ever built. The next came in 2009 - the pinnacle of the first gen Conti GT range two seats, 100kg lighter and capable of 204mph. In 2017 the second gen Conti GT got a Supersports too with a 700bhp version of the burly old 6.0-litre twin turbo W12, making it the most powerful Bentley ever at the time.

Two recent startups offer hope for Jaguar, says Jethro
Imagine starting a car company from zero. A real car company. One that wants to sell in volume and must adhere to all the rules and regulations that apply to Ford or Toyota. One that satisfies a market that demands reliability, convenience and a level of all round capability that was unheard of just a decade or so ago. The task list is laughably complex. From creating a brand that resonates with a broad audience, to engineering a product to exceed incumbent class leaders and ultimately to market and sell in a ferociously competitive space. Oh, and maybe try to make some money too.

Lando Norris is as honest as champions come, says Natalie
There is something wonderfully poetic about Lando Norris securing his maiden F1 world title. Not just because of the speed, the statistics, or the storylines but because of the spirit and authenticity behind it all.
