Don"t write us off ò€“...
Don"t write us off ò€“ thatò€™s the message from Jason Plato and his SEAT team as the HiQ MSA British Touring Car Championship takes a breather before the second half of the season starts at Snetterton in mid-July. The Spanish squad introduced a new diesel Leon TDI at the start of this year and it has proved competitive, notching up three wins. But disappointing results last time out at Croft have dropped Plato and team-mate Darren Turner to fourth and eighth in the driversò€™ championship.
Who said electric cars...
Who said electric cars had to be slow? Audi has stolen the show in Frankfurt with a fully electric supercar based on the R8.
Known as the e-tron, it swaps the V8 or V10 powerplants of the R8 for a set of four electric motors, giving it a combined power output of 308bhp and a massive 4,500Nm of torque.
And the styling is just as impressive as the performance. The one-piece grille, multispoke alloy wheels and minimalist interior all helped it to stand out in the bustling motor show crowds.
