The British Drift Championship Round 4

Drifting. I find it hard to see how some petrolheads dislike this sport, it is after all very highly tuned vehicles destroying tyres in the name of entertainment, and what’s not to like about that? I wouldn’t call my self an avid follower of the scene; the last time I went to a drift event was JDM allstars in 2009. However leaving round 4 of the BDC I found myself thinking much the same thing as I did back in 2009, I really should follow this sport more.

A M3 GTR lookalike with a Toyota Supra 2JZGTE against a Silvia S15 equipped with a Nissan V8 and twin turbos – you’re unlikely to find cars like this elsewhere…

Trader Dreamer: Jaguar XKR 5.0

It would seem Bentley has done a good job with their new Continental V8, reviews are positive and most reports suggest it’s a better choice than the W12 that supposedly sits above it in the range. Fine praise indeed and looking at the specifics of it, it’s hard to argue with them. The V8 sounds better, is hardly slower, and cheaper than it’s twelve-cylinder brother, so Autocar’s 4 star review of the GTC V8 seems pretty justified then. The car it just beats (both receiving 4 stars) in the ‘Road Test Top 5’ is the Jaguar XKR, and that’s the car I recommend.
