Those who have been following the
@MOTORMAVENS feed on Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter probably already know that I tested out the new
BF Goodrich g-Force Sport Comp-2 tire at
California Speedway (Auto Club Speedway) this past week.
According to BFG, their new
Comp2 tire promises drivers the ability to
accelerate faster,
corner harder, and
brake in a shorter distance than their competitors. When asked exactly who they consider to be their competition for this class of tire, BFG pointed to
Dunlop Direzza DZ101,
Yokohama S-Drive, Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31, Cooper and
Hankook Ventus V12 tires.

Toyota AE86 Levin GTV. As

Team Tekno article, the AE86 is alive and well here in
Ireland!
Usually the AE86 comes in two different guises: the Japanese drift spec with drift body kits and crazy camber; and the UK spec with
Superlites and
Cibie spot lamps. However, there is another type that is rarely seen on these shores and that is - the grip spec AE86.
