Everything about Cars!

Dunlop have launched a new TV magazine that will feature all the very latest news in motorsport. Inside Racing offers fascinating insights from a range of motorsports race series including in-depth information, exclusive material plus celebrity and lifestyle features.

Unlike other racing programs Inside Racing benefits from the Dunlop name in motorsport, which means the show’s producers have an incredible amount of access to the world’s fastest tracks as well as exclusive interviews with the most skillful drivers on the planet. Viewers can expect to see teams and drivers of race series such as DTM, ALMS and MotoGP.

The show is produced fortnightly and also encourages viewer participation, which can be seen on the program’s YouTube presence: http://www.youtube.com/dunlopinsideracing. Also, for more fans of more extreme motoring, the Dunlop Challenges channel features stunt driving such as Loop the Loop, J-turns and jumps: http://www.youtube.com/DunlopChallenges.

One of the latest pieces of footage incredibly demonstrates the manoeuvrability of 3 cars when kitted out with the SP Street Response tyres. In the video, the stunt coordinator even reveals they had to slightly over-inflate the tyres as the grip was too good to perform the skids required for the stunt!

With plenty of insight into competition racing as well as stunts and other features, Inside Racing looks to be a great source for petrolheads and motorsports fans alike.

As if the Ford Focus Taunton wasn’t successful enough, having won Best Used Small Family Car in 2007, 2008 and 2009 based on its great all round performance, it has now been honoured as the winner of What Car? Green Awards for the second time having also won it in 2008.

The judges of the highly acclaimed What Car? commented on the Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Style’s great driveability, good practicality and sensible running costs, making it their ‘used green car’ of the year.

The chairman of Ford of Britain Joe Greenwell said after the award was received “the 64mpg Ford Focus 1.6 diesel was What Car?’s green car of the year two years ago and to be a winner again in 2010 is testimony to the car continuing to be a leader in its class for fuel economy and CO2 emissions”.

The Focus continues to be a popular choice for customers with this particular award winning model selling 16, 300 units since it was first launched. This makes up 30% of the total Ford Focus Style sales. An average second hand Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Style that has done 24, 000 miles sells for around £8, 475 making it a competitive and attractive car in its range.

With regards to this Green Car award going to the Ford Focus the Editor in Chief of What Car? Steve Fowler said: “The Ford Focus is good to drive, reliable and environmentally friendly, and it proves green used cars don’t have to cost the earth.”
