(Reading time: 3 - 5 minutes)
JLR E Pace

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has always predominantly been recognised as a combustion engine fueled event, however with the way things are changing with the future of mobility, will EV's appear centre stage alongside Petrol and Diesels? Well electric vehicles certainly figure in the plans for many car manufacturers and with Rolls Royce rumoured to be completely missing out hybrid technology and moving straight into electric mobility, the future looks to be EV.

Top Gear team's new home Amazon prime

(Reading time: 2 - 3 minutes)

Looks like we can look forward to 36 episodes over 3 years, well that's initially, however the BBC are now probably a little sore after the estimated slump in revenue and not to forget the loss of over 4 million viewers within a week. That's now behind the guys though, not only have Clarkson, Hammond and May moved, but so has the Top Gear producer Andy Wilman, and in addition the team have been given carte blanche to create their own unique car / antics motoring show. When are we likely to see the new show? Well it's looking like 2016 and that's globally, kind of makes sense really. We can't wait to see how this new motoring show will make it's marque :)

Update:- Wilman who quit over the incident involving Clarkson and the Top Gear producer, has announced that Clarkson and co will start filming this autumn. Originally the clause in the BBC contract prohibited Clarkson and co form creating a new show for a UK broadcaster for 2 years, however the clever team have sidestepped this by signing a contract with amazon Prime, who are not beholden to Advertisers - great news
