Kicking off the new year for our weekly Petrolhead Corner, we continue with another list; the best new cars coming in 2021. Of course these type of lists are very subjective, and only a few of us could ever at one point in life claim to own cars in this category, but it is nice […]
Happy new year, this is the first episode from our weekly automotive section that is “The Petrolhead Corner”… and we’ll start by looking at 2020, which has been a monumental year for all the wrong reasons.

Big money racing teams rely on state-of-the-art amenities to support the entire crew during a racing weekend. Entire fleets of trucks (or even planes) are used to transport people, cars parts, tools and equipment halfway around the world. Throughout history, these […]
Car related stories turn up in the most unusual places, in the most unusual ways. From all corners of the world, interesting stories are uncovered. This week’s story in our weekly automotive column that is the Petrolhead Corner is about a not-so-loved, very 1980s Ferrari Mondial being dragged out of the water in Amsterdam. What […]
