Ford already has his fancy new weapon ready for the upcoming Pikes Peak International Hill Climb event. This race consists of an ascending section of Mount Pikes Peak, in Colorado, USA, with a route of almost 20 km where it begins at 2,865 meters above sea level and from there it ascends another 1,440 meters. Cars and drivers face the challenge of the lack of oxygen that takes power from the engines and a winding and dangerous cornice road, but which gave us scenes like Ari Vatanen’s Climb Dance and his Peugeot 406 T16. For this competition Ford prepared a very special vehicle, the Transit SuperVan. At the time this minivan was a concept, but earlier this year, Ford confirmed that it would be their weapon for Pikes Peak. Now we can see the car ready for extreme competitio...

At the end of the 70s, Aston Martin, with its Bulldog prototype, set out to make the fastest car in the world and the first to overcome the 200 miles per hour (322 km/h) barrier. She didn’t make it and stayed at a more than respectable 307 km/h (191 miles per hour).

New cars are still expensive. But beware, in June they chain the third consecutive month with drops in average prices, as we told you in our last monthly price report. After conscientiously analyzing thousands of specific offers at official dealerships, the evolution is positive. The problems of stockouts and factory stoppages are almost solved. Not entirely, because the director of a Spanish factory told us that “something remains”, but if 200 semiconductors were missing before, now 10 are missing. We are far from seeing demolition discounts, but tenth by tenth it seems that the discounts are already better. If last month the average difference between the price announced by the brand and the one requested by the dealer was 8.94%, this month it reaches 9.07%. Far from the doub...

Later, due to weather conditions. The first practice sessions were practically not played and in the third sessions, given the heavy rain, Alonso could not complete his plans. As reported by ‘formu1a.uno’, the two-time world champion had in mind to test “a more experimental setup with the suspension”but the extreme characteristics of the track made it impossible. After the race, Fernando him...
