‘You’re on your own now,’ declares my colleague. Well, he’s not wrong there as, fittingly, I am about to drive Solitude Circuit in a solo capacity as I helm our snarling Cayman 718 T around some of the twistier bits of Solitude Circuit. We are here to celebrate some of...

When you need to collect a consignment of Vintage Champagne from its Reims Domaine, the car of choice is a Panamera 4S Sport Turismo. Packed with bubbly, the latest Porsche load-lugger is fizzing with energy all the way along the autoroute.

Would you believe it’s 928 miles from Silverstone to t...
A whistle-stop 1,700-kilometre road trip around New Zealand’s beautiful South Island in a 997 C4S is highway heaven.
