During the 24 hours the lead changed 35 times – a record in the event that has been held since 1970. After the race’s midpoint, either the number ‘28’ R8 LMS or its fiercest rival was running in front, depending on the pit stop sequence. In the end, the Belgian Audi team prevailed with a concentrated performance of its drivers and solid teamwork - Audi Sport Team WRT with Christopher Mies/Nico Müller/Edward Sandström/Laurens Vanthoor was 40 seconds faster than the BMW Team Marc VDS.

The 2016 Camaro coupe retains the overall shape of the 1960s cars, but loses some of the hard edges of the current version. The slightly reduced size and broader use of aluminium make it more than 90 kgs lighter than the current car, which General Motors promise will result in more nimble, responsive handling.

Of course, you could play hooligan with the GTS, and it’s not hard to do so.

The intricately designed dihedral doors, a McLaren design signature since the iconic F1, possess a three dimensional form including a ‘floating’ door tendon which houses a discreet door button. This unique feature divides the airflow, channelling it into the side intakes and underneath the flying buttresses. This architectural structure ensures drag is minimised along the profile of the 570S, while also optimising levels of cooling and downforce.

If that’s not enough, you’ll even have the enthralling experience courtesy of that super lively sports exhaust. In the first two gears, the needle flies to its 6,700 rpm without any effort to the point that, I think, it would gladly spin even to 20,000 rpm if Jaguar had such a maximum mark on the tachometer. It really puts things into perspective as to what sort of feat engineers can achieve in modern engines.

Handling wise, the Captur feels relatively tight and assuring with predictable body movements despite standing 100 mm taller than the Clio.

So there you have it, the 911 C4S Cabriolet retaining Porsche’s ethos still. As a cabriolet, it's simply complete. There’s nothing to fault this car, as everything is well thought out, engineered and put together with no compromises at all; till now, I am still highly impressed as to how Porsche can manage to sort out the entire chassis and make it a solid package - in more ways than one - just to cope with demanding drivers.

Out on the expressway, the Cashcow is surprisingly refined to drive. Nissan’s engineers seemed to have put in lots of effort at keeping the cabin quiet and as vibration-free as possible; at expressway legal cruising speeds, sounds from the engine compartment are hardly audible, you don’t get any transmission shift shocks and wind noise can only be heard past 120 km/h. Very well played, Nissan.

Now bear with me - a mere mortal like me can never own one even if I flash a bag of real cash to McLaren, as all 375 limited units that were produced were already spoken for. Maybe, just maybe, with the help of a certain Mr Lim, I could get unit number 376. But then again, maybe not; as it's a left hand drive, it would be too troublesome to fly to and from Europe when you feel like just having a blast. Or maybe if I’d be ‘bros’ with the said royalty, he would let me park mine in his garage. And I would only drive 200 kilometers in it a year as I want to keep it in the most immaculate condition.
