In 2016, the Peugeot 308 Racing Cup took to the race tracks. Experience was then accumulated until the 2018 season, when Peugeot decided on a new racing car based on the "civilian" Peugeot 308 GTi. The new Peugeot 308 TCR racing car embodies a new philosophy, has a wider gap and a specially optimized chassis.
The short documentary "The Last Peaceful Place on Earth" follows the people who meet at the Bonneville Salt Flats every year as part of the "Speed Week" event. This year they came together again for one reason. They love speed.
Just as everyone has their own painter's eyes, so everyone has their own favorite road. But one of them represents the "wet dream" of many drivers. This is the Romanian Transfagarasan road crossing.

The Krško Raceland had eminent company these days. The Bugatti Veyron supercars and the Croatian Rimac Concept One came to visit, which practically feels at home here, as it comes from nearby Sveta Nedelja near Zagreb. The 1,050-meter circuit was the ideal testing ground for the capabilities of the world's fastest production car and the Croatian electric machine, which is considered the world's fastest electric car.
Ken Block, known for his Gymkhana racing videos, visited London this time and took Top Gear host Matt LeBlanc on a tour of the city in his 845-horsepower Hoonicorn Mustang. As expected, this one did not have much of a view.

For the sixth year in a row, Motor Trend has held a drag race for octane sprinters (World's Greatest Drag Race 6). This time, a dozen extremely powerful cars hit the asphalt, among which it would be difficult to predict the winner. Which one succeeded the Corvette Z06 (Z07) on the throne?
Gymkhana 9 is a fresh continuation of the racing hit, under which Ken Block signs. What did the tires do to this professional rally driver? Apparently, he harbors a great grudge against them, because he continues to burn and torture them so that the poor people squeal in pain.

Find out what Ken Block, who this time is torturing a Ford Focus RX, indulged in in the ninth installment of the octane Gymkhana series, which already has over 334 million views on YouTube, in an eight-minute clip that offers plenty of pleasure for car enthusiasts.
