Top race tracks around the world

Race tracks can be found everywhere in the world, from ice tracks in Scandinavia, dust bowls in Southern Italy or the ovals of North America. Every country has their own particular type of track; but which one is the best?

1.Circuit De Monaco

This road track around the Principality of Monaco is a firm favourite amongst motor sport fans. The constricted circuit leaves little margin for error, with tight hairpins and tricky chicanes to navigate, fans are constantly on the edge of their seat. Monaco is a wonderful place to set a race, the history it holds in terms of motor racing is up there with the best in the world.

2.Imola

Imola is one of the most atmospheric tracks, with corners such as Tamburello and Rivazza. Imola is, of course, where the late, great Ayrton Senna lost his life in 1994, a day after fellow-Formula 1 driver Roland Ratzenberger lost his. The track is most famous for how quickly it’s driven, over 70% of the track is driven flat out meaning drivers average speeds of 155MPH.

3.Yas Marina Circuit

This track in Abu Dhabi is the only track in F1 to transition from day to night to accommodate for the blistering mid-day temperatures. This means engineers have a huge challenge to match the tyres to the decreasing temperatures as well as getting the car to manage in the sweltering heat. Rob from CVS said ‘ this has got to be my favourite track, it brings something different to the calendar; watching the engineers try and overcome the challenges they face here is amazing!’

4.Spa Francorchamps

This Belgian track has amassed a huge history over its 100 years of hosting motorsport. Taking on both F1 and 24-hour GT races, the track has been cut to nearly half of its original 14KM length, this hasn’t taken away from the excitement though! The track proves ever popular, not just for its history but also its incredible surroundings. There have been multiple boycotts of the track throughout its history as a result of multiple deaths. Jackie Stewart once recalled a crash that left him in the basement of a farm house with petrol covering him and the floor; thankfully he escaped without harm, although this did inspire him to demand better safety regulations, from crash barriers to fire crews as the ambulance that was meant to take him to hospital got lost on the way!

5.Nürburgring

This 150,000-capacity complex is well regarded as one of the most challenging tracks in the world. It features a Grand Prix track built in 1984 and a much longer old ‘North Loop’ track which has been in use since the 1920s. Jackie Stewart nicknamed the track ‘The Green Hell’, after a particularly challenging race in adverse weather conditions. The North Loop is a favourite amongst manufacturers to pit their newest cars against each other to set the fastest lap. The current record holder for fastest production car goes to Porsche with their 911 GT2 RS with a time of 6:47.3.

How to slow the depreciation of your vehicle

Depreciation is your worst enemy. You've invested a large amount of time researching methods to avoid the depreciation of your vehicle, but unfortunately for everyone, it's inevitable. Over the years, all the wear and tear of your car – new or old as it may be – will decrease its value. But, that doesn't mean to say that you can't slow it down in the meantime. 

1.Choose a Good Quality Vehicle

If you're certain that you'll be selling your car further on down the line, be sure to invest in one that offers advanced safety features and other clever options too – people would be more likely to pay additional money for advanced tech, safety features and a generally decent car altogether.

2.Purchase a Second-Hand Car

You might not already know that second-hand cars depreciate at a much slower rate than those that are brand-new. If you've taken to the decision of purchasing second-hand cars, then you're in a fantastic position to slow down the depreciation of your car. Fortunately for you, with nearly new or second-hand cars, the previous owner has already dealt with the largest part of the depreciation – Your only concern is the upkeep of the car from then on.

3.Don't Customize Your Car

Sometimes it's much better to just leave a car in the state it was in when you first bought it from the seller - customizing takes away its original value. Think of it like this; you've been trying to find your dream BMW for years now, and when you finally find the perfect offer on one, you discover that it's had the exhaust swapped for a loud and obnoxious cannon. You'd undoubtedly be disappointed, wouldn't you? So, if you know that you’re going to sell your car on to somebody else, make sure that you keep the little personalised and customized features to a minimum to save future buyers from looking elsewhere when the time comes.

4.Take Good Care of Your Car

Car maintenance is a standard – your car cannot be on the road without passing an annual MOT and service test. But, that shouldn't stop you from making the extra effort by looking after your car in the meantime. You know yourself that when you go to purchase another car, be it old or new, you're more likely to be interested in buying one that looks as though it has been looked after. Needless to say, looking after your car means that it's likely to be in better shape in the near or distant future. If you decide not to keep your car in good shape then be prepared to get less for it when you decide to sell it on to somebody new. 

5.Keep Mileage Low

Nobody wants a car with one hundred thousand miles on the odometer, right? You probably wouldn't be the first person keen to purchase a car with 98,000 miles on the screen, which is why it's always nice to keep the miles as low as possible. If your car travels a significant number of miles in the time you own it, its value is more likely to decrease as well – meaning that you wouldn’t get as much as you'd expected to when you sell your car on to somebody else. To avoid racking up the miles, consider hiring a car for long trips, you could choose something with more space and features to make the journey as stress free as possible.

Top 5 ways to increase engine performance

For many cars buyers improving engine performance is at most something to watch on TV. To the devout petrol head however, increasing horsepower and taking milliseconds off the 0-60 is an absolute necessity. The desired results can be achieved in various ways. Specialist tuning companies can take your pride and joy and turn it into a snarling beast; this however normally demands a large bank balance. For the more experienced and brave car owner many online stores sell DIY kits that require minimal tools and knowledge and rather just a large amount of patience.

For the latter option an air filter is a very simple yet effective way to tune your car. A simple filter swap can improve acceleration by as much as 11%, who could turn that down? The swap doesn’t just benefit performance, everything from increased fuel efficiency to reducing emissions are possible with this quick change.

A cold air intake system is once again an inexpensive way to improve engine performance and efficiency. Cold air is more dense than warm air and therefore contains more oxygen, therefore producing a greater combustion in the engine. This mod is best left to the professionals however as it involves replacing many elements of the intake system. 

Another great way to improve overall performance is with an engine chip. This replaces the factory settings for aspects such as fuel to air ratio and throttle response. This can not only increase your overall horsepower but also improve fuel efficiency too. This modification is simple to implement at home with just a plug in for the diagnostics port.

A more expensive option to increase power is to install a cat back exhaust system. This system incorporates a wider pipe to allow increased air flow from the engine, in turn this releases pressure on the engine allowing it to produce more horsepower overall. Whilst relatively simple to install with a car lift, accessing the components may prove difficult with just a jack, meaning the professional route is the best once more.

The ultimate way to add power to any car is with a supercharger. This piece of automotive brilliance is

 usually left to the supercars. With some engine modifications though it’s very possible to fit this item to virtually any engine. The main benefit of a supercharger over a turbo is a supercharger doesn’t suffer from turbo lag as it runs directly from the crankshaft.

How to prepare your car for long drives this winter

 

Winter weather means winter driving, and even though we can't avoid our usual routines, not all of us are familiar with how to prepare ourselves for the dangerous and lengthy drives ahead of us. So, we've prepared some helpful tips to help you when you're preparing for the long journey's this winter!

1.Observe your Tyres 

Winter isn't really the time of year to be reluctant when it comes to replacing your current tyres with snow tyres, especially if it's snowing outside! Whether you're set to go on a long winter drive, or if you're only planning on travelling to work and back, it's always a good idea to make sure that your car is fit enough to face the challenging winter roads. Of course, making sure that your car has the right tyres isn't the only thing you might want to consider when preparing your car for long winter drives, but you'll need to make sure that you keep on top of tyre pressure as well – the colder weather causes tyre pressure to be slightly reduced, so check it as often as you can! Getting these checked at servicing specialists is probably your best option as they have in-depth knowledge.

2.Check your Windscreen Washer Fluid 

It's very important to make sure that you regularly check your windscreen washer fluid and when necessary, top it up – you'll use quite a lot of windscreen washer fluid by trying to keep a clean and clear windscreen throughout your winter journey.

3.Change your Windscreen Wipers 

Making sure that your windscreen wipers are fit enough to face the challenging winter weather is a crucial part of preparing your car for the longer winter drives – anything that falls from the sky is likely to cover your windscreen, so replacing your wiper blades will make sure your windscreen is cleared much quicker, thus meaning that you'll be much safer on the wintery roads!.

4.Check your antifreeze levels

Checking that there is a sufficient amount of antifreeze in your car's radiator is an essential and important part of making sure you are as safe as possible on the road in the winter – you'll use quite a lot of antifreeze fluid when the colder weather arrives, but it's important to ensure that there is an equal combination of water and antifreeze and typically, this mixture is around 50 percent water and 50 percent antifreeze.

5.Inspect your Brakes 

Out of all the advice and useful tips that you've read through and taken into consideration, making sure that you regularly inspect your brakes is classed as one of the most important stages of preparing your car for long drives in winter weather. It's relatively obvious to most drivers, especially in the winter, to make sure that your brakes are fully working and are fit enough to keep you safe on the roads!
