Pole Vault

Over the years, if you’ve been a regular reader, you’d have read countless reports of us trying our best at emulating some modicum of speed around a racetrack in race-spec vehicles. Now, while this is indeed a whole tonne of fun, more often than not, these reports end up focussing a touch too much on our personal experiences. Not by accident, mind. They’re intended to bring out the emotional and more seat-of-the-pants sort of experience surrounding track days.

What really should be added here in this piece, however, is that most of these track days have been courtesy Volkswagen Motorsport and their ever-increasing lineup of rather excellent home-grown race machines. Kind of fits right in to our Summer of Speed theme, doesn’t it?

CHARACTER CERTIFICATE

Recently, I drove the new Mahindra Bolero, an all-black number that somehow still manages to turn heads and spark conversations. Of course, the bare-basic automobile made me wonder out loud at length about its nature. The seats were terrible, it didn’t go very fast, it didn’t steer all that well at whatever speeds it could muster, and stopping was as much a matter of braking technology as it was of prayers. But I liked it. It had character. It sort of reminded me of the Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber, which once pleasantly surprised me with its lovely nature, even though I was done for by the end of the day. The days spent in the Bolero and on the Bobber confirmed what I've always known — too much character is bad for my back.
