What the Constantin case means and does not mean
Bernie Ecclestone has won a High Court battle against German media company Constantin Medien. This does NOT mean that he is in the clear in Germany as some have suggested but rather that the judge did not believe the claimants had proved that Ecclestone undervalued the F1 shares in order to get control of the […]

There?s Nothing Wrong With Restarts
I’ve got to be honest, I don’t understand why there has been so much discussion this week about restarts. The rules are really pretty clear. The green flag waves, the leader can go between the two lines, you can’t beat the leader to the line, and don’t change lanes before the start/finish line. Seems pretty [...]

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
The day has come where we report BMW?s move into building front-wheel-drive cars. It may sound like an April-fools joke, but alas, the 2 Series Active Tourer will be a reality rolling down the street in 2015. The overriding issue, at least in the eyes of BMW purists, is the threat to BMW?s brand identity and exclusivity as the Bavarian company moves towards higher-volume, lower-cost city cars.
Rather than sticking our heads in the sand, let?s take a look at what BMW is set to debut at the Geneva Auto Show on March 4th.
The 2 Series Active Tourer departs from the standard BMW mold with an upright, high-roofed design with passenger comfort, easy of ingress/egress, and cargo capacity as key features. The modular seating for five makes for a handy city runabout with 40/20/40 folding rear seats and a generous rear cargo area. Even the front passenger seat folds flat for hauling long objects. Outward visibility should be quite excellent, making it a competent navigator of congested city streets.
Power comes from three engine options — at least at launch and in Euro-spec form — including a 1.5-liter three-cylinder, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and a 2.0-liter diesel; all of which are turbocharged. Power is sent through either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission to the front wheels. An xDrive model will come to market during the first year, but after the initial launch.
Exterior design detailing and interior appointments stay true to BMW form with highly recognizable features only found on BMWs. While it may be styled like a BMW, its profile is a huge departure; though the most important factor will remain unanswered until we?re behind the wheel: does it drive like a BMW?

McLaren 650S
McLaren has just announced that it is bringing a new car to Geneva, and the Internet is in quite a fury speculating on what it may be. While many think this may be the upcoming Ferrari F12 competitor, codenamed P15, I believe the truth is a little more plebeian.
A few weeks back Autocar UK dropped the news that McLaren was building a competitor for the Ferrari 458 Speciale based on the 12C. The car is rumored to have 650 horsepower and feature extra speed enhancing goodies.
McLaren has already stated that the P15 wont be ready for a few years, and Geneva seems like its too soon to have anything ready to show the public. Additionally with a name like 650S fitting the 650 rumored horsepower rating of the upgraded 12C, it all seems to fit.
So, while the P15 would be amazing, we are most likely looking at a McLaren 12C 650S special edition.
What do you guys think? Do I have the correct prediction, or am I just a blubbering idiot with a keyboard and this is definitely the P15? Sound off in the comments below.
