Drive Festival 2023
Last weekend (Sept 8-10) Drive Festival was held at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, and although it was quite popular I still feel like a feature post would boost next years’ attendance. 2023 marked 3 years for this event, so still quite new out there, but that didn’t stop motorheads alike from attending. Drive Festival is the ultimate car show for gearheads in Canada, so it’s no surprise that new car technology and test drive opportunities are featured on the three test tracks at this event. In 2021, when the event was held from Sept 10-12, Drive Festival made history. 17,000 people attended and this helped to make Drive Festival…

Movie Review: Gran Turismo
In this week’s blog post, I decided to change things up a little, and do a movie review. I will be reviewing the movie ‘Gran Turismo’ which believe it or not, is based on a true story. This movie is a prime example of a young kid with a burning desire to follow his dreams, and he shows that dreams really can come true, if you work hard enough to achieve them. Movie Summary This true story follows a team made from some unlikely people – a working-class gamer, a former race-car driver, and an idealistic motorsport executive – who come together and risk it all to take part in…

Friday Feature: 2023 Jaguar F Type
We made it to another Friday Feature and this week’s edition is a real looker, if I do say so myself. In this week’s blog post, we will be covering the ins and outs of the 2023 Jaguar F Type – the true definition of a luxury sports car. The price range for this vehicle is a little surprising to me, given the fact the price seems a little low (in my opinion for a base model under the Jaguar name), starting at $87,200 and going all the way up to $124,000 for the highest model in the group. In terms of which one is best to buy? I personally…

June’s Spotlight: 5 of the Most Iconic Cars Featured in the Fast and Furious Movie Series:
The Fast and The Furious movie series started all the way back in 2001 and is still very popular today. In this week’s blog post, we will be covering 5 of the most iconic cars ever featured in this movie, and although Paul Walker’s 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 may have taken the title, there are some more that follow not that far behind. 1 – 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R This seemed like the only real way to start this blog post, not only as a way to pay tribute to the late great Paul Walker but also because why not start with the best of all time? (even if…

Friday Feature: 2023 Alpine A110 R
Alpine is a brand that many people might not know and for good reason. It is not found (or sold) in North America and has all ties leading back to France. In this week’s blog post, we will explore a little history of the Alpine car company and learn about the car that saw the most success from its introduction, the A110 R. Throwing It All the Way Back to WWII – Alpine Company History Alpine is a sporting brand created by Jean Rédélé – a young man with a huge interest in motorsport, in 1955. The inspiration behind the name came from Jean’s favourite playground – the Alps and…
