BFGoodrich presents Race Dezert Pre-Running Baja with Bryce Menzies

Shaun Ochsner Online Editor

BFGoodrich released their toughest tire yet, the KO2, last September. Their launch party lasted about two weeks and was held on the perfect playground, the Baja peninsula. For two weeks, editors, photographers, and other members of the media tested the durability of the tire on the toughest terrain on the planet.

BFG has 80 overall wins in Baja since getting involved with off-road racing in 1976. The KO2 tire is engineered from the years of testing and proven race wins on BFG tires. The KO2 is the first consumer tire to incorporate its race technology into a rugged street tire. According to BFG, the KO2 is more durable, lasts longer on gravel roads and asphalt, and allows for more use out of the tire than other brands.

Autodromo reveals limited-edition Brian Redman Chronograph

Following the popularity of its first limited-edition Prototipo Chronograph, the Vic Elford Edition, Autodromo has revealed a new model, this time celebrating another icon of the prototype era, Brian Redman…

Throwback to a lost era

Limited to 500 numbered pieces (the first 100 of which will be produced in 18-carat gold-plate), the most distinctive aspect of the Brian Redman Edition is its white, red and green colour scheme, a hat-tip to the Porsche 908/2 in which Redman and Jo Siffert won the 1969 Nürburgring 1000km in fine fashion. As with the previous Vic Elford Edition, a map of the infamous 172-corner Eifel circuit has been engraved on the caseback, along with each piece’s individual number.

Another addition to the regular Prototipo, itself a faithful throwback to the racing watches of old, is a running seconds sub-dial at six o’clock; we imagine making use of that mechanical chronograph component (combined with the watch's main Quartz movement) even more satisfying. The 400 stainless-steel examples will cost $775, while the 100 gold-plated pieces will cost $1,200.

Re-awakening the beast – a new dawn for TVR

After more than a decade in the wings and numerous pledges of revival, it appears TVR – the loud ’n’ proud British marque – is back, with an all-new sports car set to debut in 2017…

Built in collaboration with revered designer Gordon Murray, the new car will allegedly retain the traditional TVR front engine, rear-drive layout, weigh a scant 1,110kg, and draw power from a naturally aspirated Cosworth V8; all of which should please the remaining (and large) contingent of faithful TVR enthusiasts immensely.
