We all love Top Gear but the Germans really know how to drive their own cars. I love to watch German car shows, too bad I don’t undertand a word of German. I do understand the language of the rev though!

Porsche not planning now to raise VW stake - paper

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

vw logoGerman sports car maker Porsche is not currently considering raising its 31 percent stake in Volkswagen once a law capping voting rights is repealed, a German newspaper reported on Sunday. “That question is not being raised as yet,” Chairman Wolfgang Porsche told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung, when asked whether the company would increase its control of Europe’s largest carmaker once the European Court of Justice strikes down the VW Law, a move expected later this summer.

The federal law guarantees special rights for the German state of Lower Saxony, where VW’s headquarters in Wolfsburg are located, as a shareholder as well as preventing any one individual investor from exercising more than 20 percent of their voting rights.Via: Reuters

Corvette take dramatic win at Spa

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

The Carsport Holland Corvette team took a dramatic victory in a rain-affected Spa 24 Hours after their race-long rivals in the No. 1 Vitaphone Maserati spun away the lead with just over an hour to go.

Corvette quartet Marcel Fassler, Jean-Denis Deletraz, Mike Hezemans and Fabrizio Gollin had battled for the lead with Michael Bartels, Thomas Biagi, Pedro Lamy and Eric van de Poele in the Maserati for the majority of the event, but it seemed the Vitaphone crew had secured victory as the race entered its closing stages.

But van de Poele put the Maserati car into the Stavelot gravel as the 23 hour mark approached, just after the charging Fassler had got the Carsport Corvette back on to the lead lap. The Belgian’s incident cost Vitaphone a lap, and handed the win to Carsport Holland.

The No. 5 Carsport entry had pulled away early on, having emerged from a three-way battle with the No. 33 JetAlliance Aston Martin and the No. 3 Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette.
