Those that know me IRL have heard my rants on press releases in PDF form for many years

Sadly +Audi USA has taken this unfortunate practice to a new low. They are publishing press releases that are converted to images and then pdf so you cannot even search for a text string.

All the photos of the 919 so far have shown it in isolation. The 911 is not a large car, so seeing the new prototype next to it shows just how small the LMP1 machine is.?

This Is Porsche’s 919 Prototype In Full Le Mans Race Trim
Up until now, we’ve only seen the Porsche 919 Hybrid LMP1 car in swirly-wirly camouflage. Not anymore. The car that heralds Porsche’s return to Le Mans after more than a decade will wear this simple gray-on-white livery.

He put in quite a respectable time in the reasonably priced Astra on Top Gear this evening.?

Top Gear Season 21, Episode 5 Video Open Thread
Tonight’s episode was the last regular one of the season. Two more are left, but they are two parts of a belated special. With all the car-related business out of the way for the next few months we can reflect on, well, not much at all really, because it’s Top Gear. But that’s okay, because that’s still pretty good.
