Event previews and what to watch for
Mid‑month we turned the spotlight on the upcoming Silverstone 500, a key fixture for both touring cars and endurance fans. Our preview listed the entry list, discussed the new tyre compound from Goodyear, and warned you about the steep pit‑lane speed limit change that could catch teams off guard.
We also covered the first UK stop of the MotoGP season, giving you a rundown of the rider line‑up, the new qualifying format, and the circuit sections where overtaking is most likely. The preview helped fans decide which sessions to tune into and why the British Grand Prix matters for the championship fight.

We tested both on the track, measured lap times, and compared handling characteristics. The review sections are packed with simple charts so you can see performance differences at a glance.
On the tech side, we explored the impact of the latest aerodynamic updates from Aston Martin on their Vantage GT4. Our article explained the changes in layman’s terms, showed side‑by‑side images, and gave a quick verdict on whether those tweaks translate to real‑world speed gains.

Why is Indy 500 qualification in terms of speed and not in time?
Posted By Caspian Beaumont On 17 Feb 2023 Comments (0)
Indy 500 qualification is not based on the amount of time it takes to complete a lap of the track, but rather on the speed at which the lap is completed. This is due to the fact that the track layout for the Indy 500 is designed to be a 'high speed' track, with long straights and tight corners. Qualification times are determined by the speed at which the lap is completed, rather than the amount of time it takes to complete the lap. This ensures that the fastest drivers qualify for the race, and that the competition is as fair as possible. The Indy 500 is the most prestigious race in the world, and qualification requirements are stringent in order to ensure that only the best drivers make it to the start line.
