A slammed bug

There are a few modern performance saloon cars that I'd love to own, but I certainly wasn't expecting to see this one at the Southside Hustle or even in the UK. A V8, manual, Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. What more could you want in a saloon car?!

The Audi R8 recipe has returned with a significantly higher level of performance – and price tag. Meet the Nuvolari.

A three-word note that changed racing history. Ford historian Ted Ryan shares the story behind Henry Ford II’s legendary ultimatum before Le Mans: "You better win."

🚨 ROLLS-ROYCE JUST RAN A JET ENGINE ON 100% HYDROGEN AND IT REACHED FULL TAKE-OFF POWER. In a landmark test, a Rolls-Royce jet engine successfully operated at full thrust using only hydrogen fuel for the first time in history. The engine was tested across a complete simulated flight cycle, including fault scenarios, proving that hydrogen can not only burn inside a modern aero gas turbine but can deliver the power needed for real commercial flight. Why this matters: • Aviation is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonize • Hydrogen produces zero CO₂ when burned — only water • This test validates that hydrogen combustion, fuel systems, and engine controls can work together at full power • It moves hydrogen aviation from theory into practical engineering reality The deeper implication is huge: We are now seeing the first real proof that large commercial aircraft could one day fly on hydrogen instead of kerosene. While many challenges remain (especially hydrogen storage and airport infrastructure), this test removes one of the biggest technical doubts: whether a jet engine can actually deliver full power on hydrogen. The race toward zero-emission flight just took a major step forward. What do you think will hydrogen or battery-electric eventually power most commercial flights?
