Exciting news from Ultimate Street Car!
Behind the scenes at Santa Pod, teams of off-duty Christmas elves have been programming a free-to-play computer game that simulates the addictive art of “Run What Ya Brung”. Feel the tension on the startline, test your reactions to the lights, and then rev the engine to the redline to get the best times on the famous Santa Pod Dragstrip.
“USC Racer” is now online and available to play at: http://ultimatestreetcar.co.uk/uscracer.php
Get your timing right and you could find yourself on the high-score table. Pass the web-link on to your mates and on your favourite forums and see if they can beat your times! 
The game features a choice of modified cars to race: An Audi TT for European car fans, a Corvette for American car fans and a Nissan 350Z for fans of Jap rides. What’s your weapon of choice for attacking the leader board?
If you thought the game was addictive, just wait until you try the real thing at Ultimate Street Car from the 6th-8th August at Santa Pod Raceway.
Although thankfully, we haven’t regressed to the crazy fashions of the 70s and 80s, a lot of the wheel designs of that era have suddenly become very cool again. Looking like it’s stepped straight off the pages of a classic issue of ‘Custom Car’ or ‘Street Machine’, the Retro Star exudes the kind of period charm that usually requires several days of Ebay trawling and then a huge refurbishment bill to achieve.
Thanks to a beautifully understated design language, the Exile balances OEM styling cues with subtle aggression and an attractive inset lip. Combined with spokes that run to the very edge of the wheel to create the visual illusion of a greater diameter, Exile will look right at home on anything from the VAG. Mercedes or BMW stable, and particularly on core ‘Tuner’ and Japanese cars.
