Die ikoniese Toyota Corolla is en was nog altyd ‘n staatmaker. Met die huidige sedan mark, wat ‘n ernstige knou kry vanaf die groeiende SUV mark, is die Corolla omtrent die enigste bekostigbare familie sedan op die mark.

Since the dawn of the 19th century, motorsport has always existed due to two key factors. Through the decades, these factors have either worked together very closely and successfully or either against one another, proving unsustainable for the sport.

The following article will analyse the movement of the motorsport world into different directions, perhaps towards an imbalance between the two factors.
I love starting my reviews with apologies because it immediately gives my reader the upper hand and affords me a decent angle or introduction for reporting on a week with some car. So, dear reader, I’m really sorry that the BMW 740e you see on this page isn’t very clean… at least on the outside.
