Getting up close and private with a number of the world’s most desirable supercars and hypercars is one thing, but seeing them go wide-open throttle on a kilometre-long straight is something else. For attendees of Supercar Fest’s flagship event, The Runway, this past weekend was one other opportunity to witness just that. The event got here about in 2019, two years after Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire created a brand-new concrete runway. It was the proper place for a number of the fastest production cars within the UK to placed on a show. The venue is wealthy in history, spanning back to the Second World War when…
Since 2022, Ciro Ciampi from Petrolheadonism and Nigel Colclough from Flitwick Helicopters have hosted an annual event in the UK. Because the name suggests, Cars & Copters UK brings cars and helicopters together for a spectacle much like those seen within the US.

James Rudland’s Outlaw Racers Porsche 356 Coupé. A 356 like no other, James’ automotive – which includes a fibreglass…
At Ultimate Stance in Telford, UK early last month, one automotive drew crowds like no other. It’s easy to see the appeal of Paul Foster‘s 1982 BMW E21 though. The Group 2-themed construct appeals to a large audience – those that grew up around BMW race cars within the Nineteen Eighties throughout to younger individuals who can appreciate the fashionable replica. This isn’t a brand new construct by any stretch; it’s been kicking around shows for a few years now and prior to its completion (well, as complete as any true project…) it was under the knife for over a decade in Paul’s home garage.…
