The Skoda Trophy, the Lada Challenge, the Astra-Nova Challenge — some of the championships where car manufacturers support would-be works rally drivers; William Woollard evaluates the schemes on offer. Frank Page has been to Hungary to drive the latest version of such models as the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit and Bentley Turbo R. Just after the Second World War, Britain produced the Jowett Javelin — then one of the most advanced cars you could buy. Sue Baker talks to the car’s designer 40 years on and examines why such promise turned sour. And the Highway Code. Chris Goffey investigates aspects of this quasi-legal charter for drivers.
