Whilst watching Le Mans this year – we’re mentioning it again, sorry – I was captivated by the noise of the Chevrolet Corvette C7.R every time it appeared on camera.

New – Peugeot 208 GTi 30th Anniversary Limited Edition

After Ford and Honda, here comes Peugeot with their special edition GTi launched there today.

New Ford Focus ST to debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed
You know it, we love the Ford Focus ST here at EngageSportMode. So much so that we awarded the ST Mountune Estate the prestigious ESM ‘best car driven in 2013‘ prize earlier this year.

Although Le Mans is almost a week in the past, and we’d promised no more pictures, we wanted to include just one more as part of our Friday Photo. Le Mans 2013 was overshadowed by the tragic death of Dane Allan Simonsen, following a crash at Tertre Rouge early on in the race. The crash…
