Michael Schumacher vs the Nurburgring rollercoaster

Michael Schumacher vs the Nurburgring rollercoaster By Ben Barry First Official Pictures 17 July 2009 13:03 Michael Schumacher still holds the Nürburgring GP circuit’s lap record (1:29.468 back in 2004), but he’s never left the startline faster than he did last weekend – when he was strapped into the world’s fastest rollercoaster, subjected to 4.5g at launch and accelerated up to 135mph along 1212m of track.

How did the ’Ring people manage to get the former F1 world champ on board?

Lexus RC-F (2014) first teaser shot

By Ollie Kew First Official Pictures 09 December 2013 17:00 Lexus has confirmed a new F-model coupe will have wheels, a large vent inspired by the old IS-F super-saloon, and trademark ‘Ultra Blue’ paint. This is the joy of teaser shots – a supposedly exciting drip-feed of detail pictures that actually make a car’s final reveal a complete anti-climax. Take note, Mini Vision concept and Corvette Z06… Though Lexus won’t confirm as much (oh, the teases!), we’re expecting to see the hot new RC-F coupe launched at the Detroit motor show in January 2014.
