Teacher fined for transporting 19 children in her little <b>car</b> [3 <b>pictures</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 15 Oct 2012 01:00 PM PDT When police in Pretoria, South Africa followed a tip from a concerned citizen, they found a pre-school teacher bringing 19 kids back to school after a fun outing. No big deal, right? No big deal, except that all 19 kids were in her hatchback… She fit 6 kids in the trunk, 3 in the front seat, and 10 in the back. After being fined 1,500 rand (about $170), she says she won't be taking the kids out again. (via NBC, NY Daily News, The Nation) Like 22 Words on Facebook |

Ferrari hope to win their first world championship in six years with their 2014 contender. Ferrari have retained pull-rod suspension front and rear on the car, but the F14 T is otherwise very different from its predecessor, largely due to the changes in the technical rules for 2014. The name for the new car was chosen by a public vote of over one million Ferrari fans.

History of the British Touring <b>Car</b> Championship in <b>pictures</b> | Autocar Posted: 05 Feb 2014 12:00 AM PST Since it began in the late 1950s, the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship has thrilled legions of fans with its closely fought action in cars that resemble those driven on the road – cosmetically at least. Known as the British Saloon Car Championship from its launch in 1958, the Jaguars, Rileys and Austins that competed in the early days were extremely close to showroom specification, but it wasn't long before specialist racing teams began to extract more power and better road-holding from their cars. In the 1960s, the era of all-rounder drivers, it wasn't unknown for the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill to compete in touring car events during their off-weekends from Formula 1 duty. The series began to take on a familiar shape in the 1970s, when it was possible for a privateer team to get their hands on a Ford Capri and compete at the front of the grid. Into the 1980s, the BTCC took on a more cosmopolitan air as foreign manufacturers saw the value of proving the potential of their latest vehicles on the track. This was especially true of the increasingly competitive Japanese marques such as Toyota and Mazda, both champions during this varied era. The end of the decade was all about the spectacular, fire-breathing Ford Sierra Cosworths, and the championship enjoyed a significant upswing in popularity as television coverage brought it to a wider audience. One challenge for fans was that the BTCC used a complex class-based format that often meant the drivers fighting tooth-and-nail for race wins were not necessarily those lifting the title at the end of the year. The 1990s brought a simplified rule structure and new technical regulations that set the template for touring car racing around the globe. Manufacturers embraced the new-look BTCC, as did spectators, as a host of superstar names were tempted to race in the domestic series. Although the Super Touring formula eventually faded, new rules were devised that kept costs under tighter control and enabled privateer entrants to compete on a level playing field with factory-backed teams. That was evident in 2013, when the privately run Honda Civic of Andrew Jordan claimed the BTCC crown. The history of the championship will be charted in a new three-part documentary series, Touring Car Legends, which begins at 8pm on Wednesday 5 February on ITV4. To mark the start of the series, here are Autocar's pick of the BTCC images from the past five-and-a-half decades. |
