Some racing drivers don’t adhere to the old adage, ‘smooth is fast’, instead choosing to push the limit at every opportunity. Gilles Villeneuve was once such driver who loved a bit of forceful driving. His dual with Rene Arnoux at Dijon in 1979 has gone down in history as one of the greatest battles of all time. His car control was masterful and his bravery was breathtaking, but there are plenty of other drivers who pushed the limit just as far. So we want to know: who do you think is the wildest driver of all time? Let us know your suggestions!

To people like us, cars are a way of life. We spend too much money on them, take great pleasure in taking impromptu drives, and we love spending time with like minded individuals. This is something non-petrolheads struggle to comprehend, often leading to major disagreements. So we want to know: what are the worst things to say to a car guy? Personally, I hate the classic ‘cars are just tools to get you from A to B’. Let us know your suggestions!

Manufacturers like Mansory and Gemballa have produced some monstrosities over the years. But every so often, they produce a tuned car that we secretly like. Personally, I’ve always had a soft spot for the crazy Gemballa Mirage. Let’s just forget the fact that a beautiful Carrera GT was hacked up to produce it. So we want to know, what premium tuning car is your guilty pleasure?
