A multi-millionaire now has video evidence of his driving deficiencies following his performance during a race at the famous Monza track. The man struggled to control the high performance Ferrari, as he slid off the circuit and into the gravel traps placed on the curves for safety. At one point, the man came close to colliding with another racer as he rejoined the race, following one foray off the track. Fortunately for everyone concerned, the car eventually sustained damage from the gravel and this resulted in tyre failure, so the driver had to slowly limp his vehicle back into the pits and retire from the race. The sports commentators however were unable to retrain their mirth at the man’s plight, suggesting he take up off-road racing or go-karting instead.

    Lighter and less costly batteries providing higher power densities could be a major benefit to the take-up of electric vehicles (EVs). At present, the cost and performance of electric car batteries present a barrier to the EV market. But new research in battery technology is suggesting promising alternative solutions. While such batteries will not be available commercially for some years, tests suggest these technologies could meet demands in terms of cost reduction and power density. Batteries using lithiu

    Drivers listening to football matches drive erratically and are more likely to cause accidents, according to new research. The study, carried out by scientists at the UK's University of Leicester for an insurance company suggests that the pace of the game, goal scoring and penalty decisions can affect the ability and concentration of a football supporter sitting behind the wheel of a car.
