Ford Racing Raptor Assault school helps you learn to drive, jump and crawl

There are plenty of high-performance driving schools featuring sporty favorites such as the Mazda Miata, BMW M3 and Cadillac CTS-V. But if that’s not your forte, Ford and Miller Motorsports Park in Utah are offering a chance to learn the ins and outs of your Ford F-150 SVT Raptor pickup at the Ford Racing Raptor Assault program. The program provides hands-on experience at Miller’s state-of-the-art off-road course that includes an 8-acre rock-crawling course, a 22-acre high-speed off-road course and a 900-acre desert racing course to put it all together.

Pick-ups do poorly in latest Euro NCAP tests

By Mark Nichol Motor Industry 26 February 2008 11:54 Euro NCAP released its latest crash test results today, and it’s bad news for pick-up drivers. Only three picks-ups were tested, but they achieved some appalling results, with the Nissan Navara registering just one star for adult crash protection. Pick-up registrations increased by 7.2 percent in Europe last year and are increasingly being used as family transport.

BMW boss tells the truth about electric cars. And then has to apologise for doing so.

BMW US CEO Jim O'Donnell - "EVs won't work for more than 90% of drivers" Really, you do have to ask what kind of barking mad world we live in when the boss of a car company is forced to apologise for telling the truth, simply because it upsets a vocal minority (and his bosses, no doubt) We’ve been banging on for years about how useless electric cars are as a replacement for the internal combustion engine, and how they are really only viable as inner-city runarounds and as toys for the better-off. Even then, electric cars have their problems. As inner-city cars EVs certainly do the local environment a favour by transferring emissions to the point of electricity generation instead of the point of use.
