YOUTUBE HEROS: Who we’re watching this week: BoostedBoiz

Posted on by Karl — No Comments ↓

Hello, my name is Karl. I watch too much YouTube.

Rewind a couple of yeara and my only interest in YouTube was looking for cute cat videos and how to repair a cracked iPhone screen. These days, I could literally fill all my free time by watching the latest videos from my subbed automotive channels.

With this in mind, we’ll be putting together a weekly post highlighting who we’re watching this week. Our first article is dedicated to one of my most favourite channels. The BoostedBoiz.

Headed up by Kyle, the channel covers his passion for turbo hondas with a close-knit group of friends who live and breathe all things boosted. I’ve been following their videos from the very early days, the 700BHP EK civic hatch all the way to HondaRu and their recent partnership with the guys at PFI speed. I commend them for their positive attitudes and what has proved to be some epic and in-depth builds. The re-introduction of the MR2 turbo sporting a K20 Honda engine capable of over 1000BHP has me hooked. If you know me, you’ll know that I have a real soft spot for the humble Mk2 MR2, even if I nearly killed myself after importing my first turbo within 11 days.

Gymkhana 10 escort

It’s been over a year since the last Gymkhana dropped for you lucky lot. This time Ken is back with a bit of help from his friends and and an all new 914-horsepower Ecoboost V6-powered Hoonitruck to boot.

Gymkhana 10 showcases not one but five mental tyre shredding machines for your viewing pleasure in five locations across the globe. As usual, expect out of this world machines performing inch perfect drifts, slides and mental maneuvers with cinematography straight from a blockbuster movie.

Rather then bore you the usual PR bulls*it, we’ll let the 19 minute video do the talking and STFU. Enjoy my fellow hoons!

Microsoft drops news on Forza Horizon 4 for Xbox One and PC

Posted on by Karl — No Comments ↓

You might class the Forza Horizon games as just another “arcade racer” however we think it’s one of the most enjoyable, fun and accessible racing games ever made. In fact, Forza Horizon 3 still commands top spot in our Xbox One X over the critically acclaimed Forza 7.

So you can only imagine the squeals of joy from TN towers when we got wind that Microsoft has dropped the news that Forza Horizon will be with us before the end of the year.

In a first for the franchise, FH4 will be set in the UK, namely Scotland. It will feature over 450 cars and an all-new open-ended campaign.

New to Forza Horizon 4 will be dynamic seasons. This will dramatically change the driving dynamics, look and feel of the cars and the open world environment. These changes will affect everyone in the game, allowing even real players to feel the full force of the great Scotish weather.

It’s been a long time since the last Horizon release so we’re more than ready for the next installment.

BattleDrift 2 showcases East vs West (Daigo vs. Baggsy) in an epic Drift Battle [MONSTER ENERGY]

We were one of the few privileged publications to be invited to the premier of BattleDrift2 at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017. This was the first public showing of the second installment of BattleDrift and couldn’t have been set at a more prestigious and historic event.

BattleDrift 2 features Daigo Saito in his 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago (as seen in BattleDrift #1) but this time he’s joined by UK drift legend and BDC champion Steve “Baggsy” Biagioni. Baggsy’s vehicle of choice for BattleDrift 2 was his custom built 2009 Nissan GTR, pushing out in excess of 1100BHP from its forced induction 7.4 litre LSX Chevy powerplant. Set in Sheerness on the Isle of Sheppey (Kent) the two drivers are challenged by your stereotypical “hardman” to make a “bloody good video”. They did not disappoint.

Its hard to imagine how Monster Energy could follow up the first in the BattleDrift series, rest assured they smashed it!

The premier itself was hosted by Nic Hamilton, British Touring Car driver and Brother of a rather famous F1 driver. Although Nic wasn’t used to being on the other side of an interview he performed flawlessly and gave both Baggsy and star of BattleDrift 1, Vaughn Gittin Jr.l, a good grilling. We managed to spend a little time with Steve who was interviewed by our youngest Assistant Editor (9) and expert Forza 6 Drifter. He revealed that the damage to the rear bumper as shown in the video looked much worse on film and did not interrupt their grueling shoot schedule.

Monster Energy have yet again raised the bar in this latest production. This action packed video has set the bar for anyone who dares to follow.

That’s enough waffle, lets see what all the fuss is about.

We’d like to thank Monster Energy for their hospitality on the day and for making it such a special day for our youngest editor in training.

2017 Silverstone Classic Festival to celebrate the Ford Sierra RS500’s 30th birthday in style

Posted on by Karl — No Comments ↓

The world’s biggest classic racing festival is set to celebrate the Ford Sierra RS500’s 30th birthday with two very special double-header races this year.

The races will showcase the iconic RS500 against an array of high-tech Super Tourers and Group 1/A racing saloons in what promises to be be spectacular showdown. The event will feature a vast array of cars spanning some 25 years with the RS500 taking center stage. The races will include some iconic cars very close to my heart such as the Ford Capri and BMW M3 together with Super Touring cars from later years.

“It’s going to be very special and, with so much wonderful tin-top history on track, an amazing experience that no touring car enthusiast would dream of missing,” enthused Nick Wigley, CEO of event organiser, Goose Live Events. “The exciting Super Tourers have always been a big hit with the fans ever since the very first David Leslie Memorial Trophy race at the Classic back in 2009. Now we are doubling the eye-catching entertainment with what’s effectively a second stunning race running at the very same time – even more so, as this ‘second race’ will put the spotlight on the incredible achievements of the rightly idolised RS500.”

Game Review: Pixel Car Racer (IOS)

Posted on by Karl — No Comments ↓

pixel car racer splash screen

** Update 13/2/2016** We’re delighted to confirm the recent update of Pixel Car Racer resolved the painful IOS crashing issues we were having. We’re also pleased to confirm that the recent updates gave a nod to the upcoming game modes. It’s safe to say that a little bit of wee came out! (I’ve updated our review accordingly)

I like to think I’ve kinda got my finger on the pulse when it comes to gaming, especially when it involves four wheels and an engine. 

Therefore it came as a surprise when my 9 year old started bugging me try this new “pixel” car game. Originally I had dismissed this as yet another Pixel Gun, Roblox or minecrafty type spin off trying to capitalise on the type of 8-bit graphics I grew up with.

Man, I was wrong.

So whats it about?

Before I discuss the reasons for my love affair with this little game, I need to point something out. This game is still in development, its not Beta but there’s some holes. Some of the modes such as “Story Mode” and “Rivalry” are currently not available. This equates to about half the game modes but believe us when we say that really doesn’t matter at all. What is available is frikken’ amazing.
