The Porsche Mission S, then. Old school in a few key ways, but I'll agree also forward-thinking. It's just that not many of us a year or two ago would have thought forward-thinking meant petrol power and taking away the cabin screens. www.thetimes.com/article/e113...

Just when you think the heat is coming off Tesla, Elon Musk does something to make Europeans hate him. The Polish foreign minister didn't mince his words. www.thetimes.com/article/a3c6...

A French car and a French man.

Ok, so this is happening. #jeremyclarkson #andygreen #motorawards2026

The thing about judging awards is that you don't always get the outcome you want. With Motor Awards 2026 I also couldn't control every part of our write-up. But there were long lists, short lists and hearty debates, I can assure you, and these are all great winners. www.thetimes.com/article/9763...

Excellent number plate on this Polestar 5. Fairly appropriate I reckon.

With every paragraph your jaw will drop further. www.thetimes.com/article/854c...

Want to own Ewan McGregor's Mustang? It's going under the hammer at Goodwood Revival. Btw, what a nice chap he is. www.thetimes.com/article/b8cd...

Bristol is back! But for how long? Read my cynical take at the end of the article. www.thetimes.com/article/1ecd...

The genesis of the driving simulator, as demonstrated by Blue Peter... and Graham Hill. Doesn't look like it would have been of much use! youtu.be/XVXZk8lyhys?...

If political methods don't work out for Count Binface, this guy could be activated.

Today would have been my dad's 80th birthday. And yesterday I was forwarded a video made by the Brundle boys, in which pa gets a named namedrop (around 4 mins). So lovely that people still remember him, especially primo racers (and gents) like these. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPcG...

Last year they were even more laughable. Some this year were incredible -- and somewhat terrifyingly more advanced. We probably have five more of these games before the robot uprising.

A birthday party is taking things too far. Good for the then-owner for rescuing this Morris Minor 1000, though. Where is it today, I wonder. youtube.com/shorts/_WasE...

Worth a try.

Is the answer to ban social media, I wonder. Not Bluesky, of course. We're all good people. www.thetimes.com/article/5b13...

Dear BBC: Don't make the same mistake again. Chemistry is vital but what you often seem to forget is that Clarkson, Hammond and May were all car people. That, at least, is true of The Grand Tour's new trio. www.thetimes.com/article/31d4...

As a dad, I wholeheartedly approve of this joke.

Your morning read (and watch ... there's a video interview with Andy Green): www.thetimes.com/article/2dc3...

I was going to make a joke about a Mitsubishi Eclipse but ended up taking some photos that are slightly less crap.

I don't think there should be a defibrilator on Snowdon. And that's a hill I'm prepared to die on

Ever wanted to ride at a velodrome? Thanks to Team GB sponsor Vauxhall I got to try it out yesterday and, despite being a big lump, I did ok -- Times and ST on top. I may ask for a raise after this. Ed Clancy, btw, has three gold medals and one bronze. Plus he's an absolutely top bloke. Vid in Sep.

If I were running a newspaper: 1. There'd be more positive news and no stories about dead children. 2. I'd dramatically reduce football coverage and up the F1. 3. There would be a weekly motoring section. 4. All comment pieces would be peer-reviewed. Which is why I'll never run a newspaper.

Do you feel comfortable buying Chinese? www.thetimes.com/article/623a...

Local councillors can be so out of touch. Absolutely baffling idea. Encourage less use of cars by all means, but building houses without the option of being able to park? BBC News - Oxfordshire U-turns on plans for new-build car-free estates - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The greatest road name you'll see today. (Glenn) Close enough to the actress's name, anyway.

I first fell in love with the Porsche 356 after seeing it in Top Gun, and the desire grew with the replica in 48 Hours. This morning I got to drive one, and it was even better than I had imagined - beautiful engine, sophisticated ride, predictable steering. Drive your heroes.

Quite an evening here at West Dean. I'm gearing up for Goodwood tomorrow but before I go anywhere I'll be driving some of these. Stupid not to. #Porsche #FoS

I did the two-day Sport Auto perfektions training course at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in a Porsche 911 Turbo S... and managed not to stuff it into the Armco, which was my no.1 goal. Can't call myself a 'Ringmeister by any stretch but this was a brilliant experience. Words and vid soon(ish).

This peddles wildly exaggerated ideas (some might say misinformation but it'd be wrong to say there haven't been ... issues) but the "quote" from Musk is genius. youtu.be/M7aqrtL7Bas?...

The speed at which this Tesla hits the house... 😱 www.ndtv.com/world-news/w...

The sights. #PorscheSunstede #Porsche75UK

Best thing in the British Motor Museum. Apart from @sniffpetrol.com talking about hot hatches, natch.

This is what the JCB Hydromax hydrogen record car sounds like.

Love it. Three Brits. Three different teams. Exciting racing. Hamilton winning in scarlet. Just so good. #F1

Drove the Audi RS 5 today. No embargo so I can say that it's not prefect but... bloody brilliant. Hugely characterful and like nothing else through corners, hiding its weight. Unbelievable grip and cornering ability. But also comfortable for cruising. V complicated, though. And around £90k.

Art? #Audi #RS5 #Picasso #Mougins

The beautiful game.

Hey, @newsfromgoogle.bsky.social. Please tell the Discover team that we don't want X posts in our news feed. Please just stop it. Or give us a way to turn off posts from X. Couldn't feel stronger about this.

Peter is my new hero for putting this out. Not defensive, just setting the record straight and clearly sick of the vile comments being sent not just his way, but to others who spent their bank holiday weekend working (v hard, as it happens) at the Ferrari Luce launch. Bravo. youtu.be/shIQmlU4X5M?...
