We are already excited by the prospect of this weekend's big events! Two of the great classics on the motorsport calendar,
the Monte Carlo Rally and Daytona 24 Hours are nearly with us. There’s been something of a game of
musical chairs going on in the WRC, the most significant moves being reigning
champion Tanak’s move to Hyundai and former champ Ogier taking his vacant
Toyota seat. It should be an interesting one. Another to watch is Kalle Rovanpera, who started in the sport quite young! At Daytona the smart
money will be on Cadillac again for an outright win but much attention will be
on the GT categories as the new, mid-engined, Corvette C8-R makes its debut. To celebrate both events we are holding a 7-day 15% off sale Monte Carlo rally & Daytona 24hrs stocks. Gentlemen, fill your baskets...
Last week the lead of the Dakar was going to and fro between Peterhansel and Sainz and it was the Spaniard who came out on top, winning the event for the fourth time, this time around in a MINI Buggy.
Next week
it’s the Nuremberg Toy Fair which we will be attending. We will be giving updates
as regularly as possible from the show, so keep an eye on our social media.
