Gerry McGovern says Beckham exaggerated the role she played in designing the car. Land Rover ’s design director Gerry McGovern has hit out at Victoria Beckham – claiming the ex-Spice Girl exaggerated the role she played in designing the Evoque VB special edition. Speaking at the launch of the car in 2012, Beckham said: “I’ve designed a car that I want to drive, a car I think [husband] David wants to drive.” But, five years later, McGovern – who did design the Evoque – has told reporters that the star spoke out of turn while revealing the limited edition SUV which featured rose gold highlights and a bespoke his-and-hers luggage set.

Remarkably he has only missed one event since the crash, the GT World Challenge Australia round at Phillip Island.

KRE is closely aligned with Triple Eight and provides engines for the Red Bull-backed team and its customer squads such as Team 18. Brad Jones Racing also runs KRE power across its four entries.

Triple Eight confirmed that the change … [Read more...] about Engine tweak coming for Holden Supercars teams

The Aussie series confirmed that the full suite of campsites will be open for the first time since 2019 for the October classic. The move follows a complete closure of the camping facilities for last year's Great Race due to strict coronavirus protocols, while just four of the sites were open for the 2021 season-opening Mount Panorama 500 in February. It also suggests that, subject to any relevant outbreaks of the virus, the event could be back to near full crowd capacity.
