The Goodguys Rod & Custom Association has added another two impressive cars to its ‘Goodguys Top 12 of the Year’.

As part of the Summit Racing Nationals in Columbus, OH, the ‘Street Machine’ and ‘Street Rod’ winners were chosen.

For those looking to add a new custom ride to their garage, the prize for the annual Grand Prize Giveaway was also announced.

2021 Street Machine of the Year

The PPG Street Machine of the Year category covers vehicles made between 1954 and 1987. A combination of impressive build quality, huge performance, and overall creativity is needed to scoop this prize.

Chad Farischon’s 1969 Chevrolet Camaro ticked all the boxes, not least because of the Mercury Racing 7.0-liter V-8 engine. Developing 750hp, it comes fitted to a six-speed manual transmission.

Built by Mountain Home Street Hot Rods, the Camaro has seen no part left untouched. Along with the custom exterior, the interior benefits from Recaro seats and carbon fiber trim.

2021 Street Rod of the Year

Covering cars made before 1948, the Classic Instruments Street Rod category is a fiercely contested category. Quality craftsmanship, impressive engineering, and new design ideas are what the judges are looking for.

Wes and Vivian Rydell’s 1941 Chevrolet Fleetline scooped the top prize this year. Built by Rad Rides by Troy, the Chevrolet features a modern LT1 V-8 engine. This benefits from Lingenfelter performance upgrades, including a custom camshaft and stroker crank.

The exterior features a bold new paint scheme, while the interior has gained a bespoke dashboard. This includes a set of Dakota Digital instruments, along with a new steering column fitted with a custom wheel.

Goodguys will celebrate the chosen Top 12 later this year at the Southwest Nationals in Scottsdale, AZ.

Grand Prize Giveaway prize announced

Each year, Goodguys offers a special custom vehicle as part of its Grand Prize Giveaway. Covering 2021 through 2022, the winner of the latest giveaway will be chosen at next year’s Columbus, OH show.

The 2022 lucky winner will take home a 1986 Chevrolet C-10 pickup truck, fitted with a range of custom parts. Under the hood, a Chevrolet Performance LT1 crate engine by Pace Performance has been installed, along with a Gearstar 4L65E transmission.

Although registered Goodguys members are automatically included in the Grand Prize Giveaway, additional entries can be made by entering a show car at an event.

Lambeth is the car crime capital of the UK and nine of the top 10 postcodes for vehicle theft are in London, a new four-year study has revealed.

Car insurance data since 2016 has been analysed to discover a vehicle theft frequency rate of 12.3 percent in Lambeth, the highest postcode rate in the country.

It is followed by Kensington and Chelsea, Ealing, Southwark and Lewisham.

The only area in the top 10 not to be located in London is Watford – while Slough and Preston are in the top 20.

“Car crime rates in London have remained continuously high,” said Paul Evans from Co-op Insurance, which carried out the analysis.

“But it’s interesting to see that places like Preston and Stockport are also emerging hotspots in the North.”

Among the lowest theft rates are Moray in Scotland, Mid Devon in England and Denbighshire in Wales.

Co-op Insurance has now launched a Park Smart tool, based on Home Office data, that allows users to search for vehicle crime hotspots by postcode.

Ford and Vauxhall targeted

Despite the desirability of premium cars, it is more affordable brands such as Ford and Vauxhall that are favourites to steal.

The Ford Fiesta tops the theft claim top 10 as a percentage of total claims, followed by the Ford Focus and Vauxhall Corsa.

The top premium brand for vehicle theft is the Range Rover Evoque in sixth.

“Don’t think it won’t happen to you,” said TV consumer champion (and former car dealer) Dominic Littlewood.

“Cheaper makes and models are becoming more attractive than ever to thieves.”

“People with smaller and perhaps less expensive cars need to be aware that these motor vehicles are hot property for car thieves,” added Mr Evans.

It is believed this is because such cars are less likely to attract the attention of the police – and may also be easier to clone and sell on, due to their sheer popularity.

Top 10 cars most likely to be stolen

1: Ford Fiesta

2: Ford Focus

3: Vauxhall Corsa

4: Vauxhall Astra

5: Volkswagen Golf

6: Range Rover Evoque

7: Land Rover Discovery

8: Audi A3

9: Mercedes-Benz C-Class

10: Audi A4

Staycation surge as millions of motorists plan holidays – with 1 in 3 to the West Country

Summer holiday plans by motorists have surged 20 percent since April with at least 29 million staycations now set to take place.

This will lead to “unprecedented” traffic on UK roads – particularly around the school holiday weeks.

And if overseas travel restrictions remain, the staycation surge could swell further, as a third of those with foreign holidays booked will holiday in the UK instead.

In August 2019, 9.4 million overseas trips were made.

The West Country is likely to be a hot spot with 1 in 3 drivers surveyed planning holidays there; 14 percent will visit Scotland and 8 percent are going to Yorkshire.

Breakdown risk

The RAC is warning motorists to start preparing their cars now in readiness for staycation getaways, to lessen the risk of breakdowns spoiling their holiday plans.

“A second ‘staycation summer’ in a row now looks like a certainty and will mean millions of us relying on our cars to get us wherever we want to go,” said RAC spokesperson Rod Dennis.

“Busier roads, especially in the heat, can mean a sudden sharp increase in breakdowns, so we’re calling on every driver to check their car is ‘road ready’ and isn’t about to let them down.”

The risk of breakdowns may also rise because motorists are planning to holiday much further away from home than normal.

A third of drivers who took a staycation in 2020 say they will be driving greater distances in 2021, planning to explore new areas of the country.

Nearly 6 in 10 say their staycation will be more than 150 miles from home, while 17 percent will travel more than 300 miles.

However, only 5 percent are planning to tow a caravan or trailer.

Top staycation destinations for motorists in 2021

1: West Country – 30%

2: Scotland – 14%

3: Yorkshire – 8%

4=: Lake District – 6%

4=: East Anglia – 6%

6: North Wales – 5%

Police can now instantly access DVLA driver photos to speed up roadside checks

Police forces are now able to instantly access driving licence photos to confirm motorists’ identity at the roadside, saving time and reducing the number of arrests.

The new tech developed by the DVLA enables officers to access the organisation’s photograph database almost immediately via a handheld smart device

This compares to a wait of up to 16 minutes for officers to confirm identity without the new tech.

In some cases, it has taken so long, it has resulted in an arrest as the motorist is taken to the station to complete the checks.

The DVLA estimates the technology, which has been used in pilots by selected forces since August 2019, has saved more than 14,000 hours for Road Police Unit Officers.

It has made roadside checks up to 66 percent faster.

18 police forces are already using the tech, with 10 more in coming weeks – and the service set to roll out across all 46 police forces across the UK.

The innocents

“This development will not only free up valuable police time but also make sure innocent drivers can get back on their journeys quicker,” said roads minister Baroness Vere.

DVLA chief executive Julie Lennard said the new tech is something that will “directly benefit citizens.

“The ability to support quicker and more robust roadside checks for motoring offences through the better use of technology is something we were pleased to help deliver.”

The DVLA says photographs are accessed via sourcing the motorists’ driving licence number from the Police National Computer.

This allows them to access the correct image from DVLA records.

The police officer receives the images solely to complete the check – they are only accessible during the enquiry and are not retained.

Nearly 90,000 driver images have already been accessed by police during the trails.

Valhalla! Aston Martin’s 950hp ‘road racer’ revealed

Aston Martin has traditionally been defined by brutish, front-engined GT cars. Think Sean Connery in a DB5, Pierce Brosnan in a Vanquish or Daniel Craig in a DBS. Now, the British brand has aimed its Walther PPK straight at Ferrari – and it has a view to a kill.

Enough with the Bond puns. You’re looking at the new Valhalla, Aston Martin’s answer to the Ferrari SF90 Stradale. With a hybrid powertrain, carbon fibre tub, active aerodynamics and F1-style pushrod suspension, there’s nothing traditional here.

The best F1 and motorsport face masks in 2021

Fittingly, our first glimpse of the Valhalla was at Silverstone, home of the Aston Martin Cognizant F1 team. This Sunday, the circuit hosts Aston’s return to the British Grand Prix after more than 60 years.

But first, there are Covid-friendly elbow-bumps, drinks, speeches and – finally – a new supercar to swoon over.

Extreme performance

Supercar? Frankly, the Valkyrie accelerates headlong through the glass ceiling into hypercar territory. The combined punch of its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and 150kW hybrid system serves up 950hp and a mighty 1,000Nm (738lb ft) of torque.

The flat-plane V8 contributes 750hp and revs to 7,200rpm. It drives the rear wheels and breathes through top-exit tailpipes for an ‘authentic Aston Martin sound character’.

The remaining 200hp of electric drive is split between front and rear axle motors, with up to 100 percent sent rearwards for maximum performance. The headline figures are 0-62mph in 2.5 seconds and a top speed of 217mph.

Aston Martin is also targeting a Nurburgring lap-time of less than 6min 30sec. For context, the current road-legal record is 6min 38.8sec, set by a Manthey-modified Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

Developed by F1 drivers

When you aren’t blitzing Bergwerk or nudging Vmax at Döttinger Höhe, the Valhalla offers a zero-emissions range of 9.3 miles: key to achieving predicted CO2 emissions of just 200g/km.

Top speed in EV mode is 80mph and the electric motors also function as a reverse gear.

The other key component of the powertrain is a new – and fiendishly complex – eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. Impressively, the V8 and electric motors can run different gears simultaneously to boost torque.

An electronic limited-slip differential on the rear axle delivers ‘maximum traction and handling agility’, says Aston Martin. With development drivers including Sebastian Vettel, Lance Stroll and Nico Hulkenburg, we’re inclined to believe them.

Low-flying jet

The Valhalla’s sculpted, dramatic styling is little changed from the AM-RB 003 concept car, first seen at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019. Unmistakably mid-engined, it resembles the love child of a Le Mans prototype and Typhoon fighter.

A slatted grille is perhaps the only hat-tip to Astons of old, framed by full LED matrix headlights and a jutting splitter. A roof scoop and slash-cut side vents feed air directly to the hungry V8.

Access is via upwards-opening dihedral doors, while the lack of a rear window means relying on the surround-view cameras (and possibly prayer) for parking manoeuvres. Mind that carbon fibre…

The car’s interior hasn’t been revealed yet, but we’re promised an ‘innovative new central touchscreen’ with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The seat bases are fixed, so you adjust the pedals and steering column to find the right driving position.

Attack the track

A target dry weight of ‘less than 1,550kg’ undercuts the SF90, even if the Italian car has the lightweight Assetto Fiorano pack fitted. ‘F1 inspired’ active aerodynamics and underbody venturi tunnels muster 600kg of downforce at 150mph.

The Valhalla’s carbon tub is suspended by pushrods at the front and a multi-link design at the rear, with inboard components to reduce unsprung mass. Multimatic variable springs and spool valve dampers ‒ also seen on the Aston Martin Vulcan – provide a range of adjustment, including a belly-scraping Track mode.

Tyres are bespoke Michelins (20-inch front, 21-inch rear) and the Valhalla is reined in by huge carbon-ceramic discs with brake-by-wire tech.

Premium Bond

Want one? Expect to stump up somewhere between £600,000 and £700,000 and join a long waiting list. The first year of a two-year production run is already sold out, and deliveries won’t begin until 2024.

New Aston Martin CEO Tobias Moers said: “With Valhalla, not only have we stayed true to our commitment to build a world-beating supercar, but we have exceeded our original aims. The result is a pure driving machine – one which exists right at the cutting edge of performance and technology, yet allows the driver to feel the emotion and thrill of complete connection and control.”

It all adds up, we hope, to an era-defining supercar that will leave you shaken and stirred (sorry, couldn’t resist).

Look out for the Valhalla’s screen debut in No Time to Die this September.

Motorist with 22 points among 600 M6 drivers caught by HGV ‘supercab’

A week of action by police and Highways England with an unmarked HGV ‘supercab’ on the M6 motorway saw more than 600 motorists caught committing driving offences.

The undercover truck, which allows police to look down and spot offending motorists, patrolled the entire length of the M6 during the week-long campaign, dubbed ‘Operation Vertebrae’.

230 HGVs were caught, as well as cars and vans.

Actions taken by police include words of caution, fixed penalty notices… and eight arrests.

The most common offence was not wearing a seatbelt, while 1 in 6 motorists were also caught using their mobile phone illegally.

One driver was playing online poker; another was FaceTiming his partner.

PC Jamie Blood led the campaign in Warwickshire. “Once again, it is terribly disappointing that we encountered so much poor driver behaviour on our roads.”

Some of the most dangerous drivers were spotted in the region, including someone who had no driving licence or car insurance, who was not wearing a seatbelt… and neither was a four-year old sat on someone’s lap in their car.

Another motorist in Warwickshire had 22 points on their licence, and no insurance.

Elsewhere, the Central Motorway Police Group pulled over a car near to junction 10 of the M6.

It had false plates and no documents, while the driver only had a provisional licence. They were reported to the courts and the vehicles was seized.

Highways England head of road safety Jeremy Philips said the campaign has “raised awareness that those who engage in high-risk behaviours can expect to be spotted and, if an offence has been committed, action will be taken by our enforcement partners”.

Since the Operation Tramline HGV supercab initiative launched in 2015, almost 22,000 motoring offences have been spotted – with the most common being using a mobile phone and not wearing a seatbelt.

Skoda Octavia Scout

Fancy yourself as a smartphone snapper? Want to attempt more than selfies and pictures of your breakfast? Here’s how to take your Instagram car photography to the next level.

By teaming up with pro photographer Julian Calverley, Skoda has offered tips on how to get the best out of whatever photo equipment you have.

The shot begins before you’ve even opened the camera app, preferably with a good-looking car in some stunning scenery. We’ll let you draw your own conclusions about the Skoda Octavia (above), but a moody morning in Wales seems a good place to start.

Below are five steps that Calverley insists will improve your Instagram photography. Like and follow, etc…

1. See the bigger picture: Make sure your shoot is suitable as a thumbnail. Use dramatic locations if possible and apply the rule of thirds, mentally dividing the photo into nine equal squares (helpfully, most phone cameras do this for you).

2. Start early and follow the sun: They don’t call it ‘golden hour’ for no reason. Dawn and dusk provide the most photographically sympathetic light levels. The middle of the day is often too harsh and bright.

3. Perfect weather isn’t always perfect: Equally, clear skies can make for bad photos. The calmness of a cool overcast or rainy day is the smartphone photographer’s friend.

4. Find the best angle: Move around the car, don’t zoom in. Once you’ve set the scene, you’re free to shoot from whatever angle you like. Tiny changes make a difference.

5. Cars have eyes, too: The headlights are a nice point of focus, like eyes on a person. If you’re shooting the front of the car, use sidelights only – no main beams. If you’re shooting from the rear, switch the lights on.

Add it all up and Julian reckons you have the makings of some great Instagram photography. Good luck!

Ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone this weekend, the Red Bull Racing F1 team has challenged a host of British icons to a dramatic race.

British icons with a twist, that is…

With Red Bull’s Max Verstappen currently leading the Formula 1 World Championship, this weekend’s race is a key event.

The best F1 and motorsport face masks in 2021

It will also feature the debut of F1’s new Sprint Race qualifying format, intended to bring extra excitement to proceedings.

Best of British on track

The special video sees a championship-winning 2011 Red Bull Racing RB7 pitted against six (mainly) classic British vehicles.

Rivals range from a London bus, to a black cab and even a car full of festival goers. However, the star of the show is an RAF Supermarine Spitfire.

Capable of close to 400mph, almost double the top speed of the RB7 F1 car, the Spitfire is a worthy adversary.

We will let you watch the video to see whether 1940’s engineering can vanquish a modern Formula 1 machine…

Fans back in the Silverstone stands

Red Bull Racing CEO and Team Principal, Christian Horner, said that his personal ‘winner’ from the race “has got to be the Spitfire – the sound, the grace it has in the air, it is fantastic to see”.

Significantly, this weekend’s British Grand Prix will feature a full-attendance crowd. Horner commented: “We have really missed fully attended races and I think this is the first time we are going to see a proper crowd and I think that it is tremendously exciting.”

He added: “It’s always a great thrill to race in front of the British public – I live only 10 minutes from Silverstone, so for me, I get to sleep in my own bed! I’ve always loved the British Grand Prix, so I’m looking forward to seeing everybody there.”

Max Verstappen, Red Bull Racing driver and current F1 championship leader, is looking forward to having fans back.

He said: “When we were at Silverstone last year, the track was amazing, but the atmosphere was missing. To have the British crowd back again in full attendance will be really special and I hope that the race is going to be just as exciting.”

2 in 3 car buyers want solo test drives to continue

More than 9 in 10 car buyers say the test drive is a crucial part of the purchase process – but 7 in 10 say they would prefer unaccompanied test drives to continue.

Solo test drives became commonplace during the pandemic as it was not possible to reliably practice social distancing with the salesperson in the car.

But as restrictions ease, car buyers are calling for unaccompanied test drives to continue, as it allows them to concentrate on the car and not be distracted by the salesperson.

Young drivers aged 18-24 are particularly keen on solo test drives.

It also allows for longer test drives without tying up a busy sales executive: two in three car buyers say from 15 minutes to two hours is ideal – and one in five want test drives to last longer than two hours.

Track test

AX Innovation is a company that manages the vehicle tracking systems necessary to make solo test drives possible.

This includes alerting car dealers about driver behaviours and misuse, and removing disputes around speeding fines and other charges car buyers may receive during the test drive.

MD Vince Powell said: “Driving an unfamiliar car requires an extra level of concentration, particularly when you are trying to determine whether or not the car is right for you, and many buyers clearly don’t welcome the distraction of a salesperson.

“However, it’s perfectly understandable for dealerships to have concerns that some customers may mistreat vehicles without the supervision of a salesperson.

“This is where telematics devices play an important role, deterring customers from driving vehicles inappropriately.”

How to use your iPhone or Apple Watch as a car key

By

John Redfern

July 13, 2021

Apple’s digital car key is now available to use. The function was introduced as part of the iOS 13.6 update in mid-2020.

The car key brings the ability to unlock and start your car, simply by using your iPhone or Apple Watch.

Read on for a full explanation of how it works, along with the cars that currently support this new technology.

Which Apple smartphones support the car key function?

Apple’s newest iOS smartphones are the ones which offer car key functionality.

To use the digital key, you will need one of the following iPhones:

iPhone SE
iPhone 11 (including Pro and Max)
iPhone XS (including Max)
iPhone XR

The phone will need to be updated to the latest iOS 14.6 operating system. You will also need to be signed in to the iPhone using your Apple ID, and have access to your iPhone password protected.

What about using my Apple Watch?

Only Apple’s latest version of Watch range is currently able to work as a digital car key.

That means you will need to have a new Apple Watch Series 5, ideally running the latest Watch OS 7.5, to use the functionality it brings.

What cars support Apple car keys?

At the moment, BMW is the only manufacturer to offer support for Apple’s digital car key.

The German marque does at least offer it for a broad range of vehicles. The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 Series models are all compatible, along with the X5, X6, X7 and iX3.

The relevant car will need to have been manufactured after 1st July 2020, and be fitted with the Comfort Access (SA 322) option. Connected Drive Services will also need to be active on the car.

When will other cars use Apple car keys?

Apple is yet to confirm any other manufacturer opting to offer the digital car key function.

Apple is part of the Car Connectivity Consortium, which also includes Volkswagen, General Motors and Hyundai, so these companies may follow BMW in adopting the technology.

Although other companies include standalone digital key apps, the new Apple version sees access fully integrated into the wallet function of the iPhone. Using the wallet function means greater security, and the enhanced usability.

What else do I need to use Apple car keys?

Users need to download the BMW Connected app to their chosen Apple smartphone. This is needed to create a BMW ID, or link an existing BMW ID, to your compatible car.

After creating a BMW ID, and adding your BMW to the Connected app, you can then create the digital car key.

BMW requires users to be inside the car, and with both physical keys present, to prove your ownership. The Connected app will then take users through the steps to add your Apple device as a digital key.

What does the Apple digital car key actually do?

The digital car key offers two functions with compatible cars. Users can unlock and lock the car with their Apple device, and also start the car once inside.

This is as simple as holding the Apple device near to the door handle to unlock, or lock, the car. Only the driver’s-side door will be unlocked with the digital car key.

Once inside, users can place their Apple device in the smartphone charging tray, then press the engine start button.

An ‘Express Mode’ allows owners to use the digital car key without the need to enter a passcode, or use Face ID on the Apple device.

Can I still use Apple car keys if my iPhone battery is flat?

Yes. Apple has pre-empted worries about how to unlock your car if your iPhone battery runs flat.

When the iPhone battery gets very low, it enters a special ‘Power Reserve’ mode. This setting will see the iPhone retain enough charge to use the digital car key function for up to five hours.

If you manually turn your Apple device off, it will need to be turned back on to use the digital car key.

One of the more impressive functions of the Apple car key is the option to share it with up to five other people.

Users will need a compatible iPhone. The main user can then send an Apple iMessage from their device, inviting the new driver to add the digital car key to their wallet.

Access conditions can be set, including limiting the maximum speed and preventing the stability control from being turned off – if your son or daughter is borrowing the car, for example. The original owner can also revoke access to the digital car key at any time.

Are Apple car keys safe to use?

Apple says that the digital car key is saved within the secure section of the iPhone. It is also protected by a passcode or Face ID. This makes it extremely tough for others to get their hands on.

BMW also notes that the Apple car key uses near-field communication technology (NFC). This means both the Apple device and car must be in very close proximity for it to work.

Should you lose your Apple device, the digital car key can be deleted from iCloud or Find My iPhone.
