Bugatti Galibier - it’s the new Royale (2010): the first official photo

By Tim Pollard (two artist's impressions of blue car by R.Varicak/MotorForecast) First Official Pictures 15 July 2009 16:56 These are the first official glimpses of the new Bugatti Royale – the legendary limousine reinvented for the 21st century. Bugatti is readying the new Royale to celebrate the company’s centenary this autumn, where it will be shown to prospective customers on the eve of the 2009 Frankfurt motor show.

Australian Grand Prix (2010) RESULT

The start of the Australian Grand Prix Melbourne-2010 We started to get gripes at the end of last year’s F1 season that our headlines on Grand Prix results gave the game away. Not an overwhelming number of emails – just a steady trickle. But we got loads after our Ferrari One-Two at Bahrain headline at the first F1 Grand Prix of the season, so we’re going to obfuscate the headlines and the sub-header this year, so all of you who’ve stuck the race on Sky+ don’t get it spoilt.
