Get the inside track with Dunlop

Dunlop have launched a new TV magazine that will feature all the very latest news in motorsport. Inside Racing offers fascinating insights from a range of motorsports race series including in-depth information, exclusive material plus celebrity and lifestyle features.

Unlike other racing programs Inside Racing benefits from the Dunlop name in motorsport, which means the show’s producers have an incredible amount of access to the world’s fastest tracks as well as exclusive interviews with the most skillful drivers on the planet. Viewers can expect to see teams and drivers of race series such as DTM, ALMS and MotoGP.

The show is produced fortnightly and also encourages viewer participation, which can be seen on the program’s YouTube presence: http://www.youtube.com/dunlopinsideracing. Also, for more fans of more extreme motoring, the Dunlop Challenges channel features stunt driving such as Loop the Loop, J-turns and jumps: http://www.youtube.com/DunlopChallenges.

One of the latest pieces of footage incredibly demonstrates the manoeuvrability of 3 cars when kitted out with the SP Street Response tyres. In the video, the stunt coordinator even reveals they had to slightly over-inflate the tyres as the grip was too good to perform the skids required for the stunt!

With plenty of insight into competition racing as well as stunts and other features, Inside Racing looks to be a great source for petrolheads and motorsports fans alike.

Mini Beachcomber Concept

Mini Beachcomber Concept

Based on the upcoming crossover SUV platform is the Mini Beachcomber Concept. It caters to active outdoor activities with lots of ground clearance and suspension travel and its flexible interior. This concept offers both hard plastic and cloth detachable roof and side panels. Late next spring, Mini has plans to launch their crossover SUV. At the 2010 Detroit Auto Show, Mini is showing its concept based on the upcoming SUV suspension and chassis. There is all-wheel-drive, which Mini has branded as “ALL4″ along with generous ground clearance, aggressive tires and plenty of room for them. With room for four, the fun begins with the removing of the top and cloth door which gives you a dune buggy style off roader. For the roof and doors, there are hardtop inserts that makes this Mini suitable for any weather. For easy access, the cargo door is split vertically and to accommodate longer items, the right door half can be locked open. To hold surfboards vertically, there is a clamp arrangement in the roll bar. For more storage, the rare seat backs fold down and as proof of the Beachcomber’s off-road capabilities, on the instrument panel there is a inclinometer and a compass.
