Victoria Pendleton, Olympic gold medallist swapped the track for the field this weekend as she supported competitors at the UK National Selections of the Land Rover G4 Challenge.

Victoria provided motivational guidance to 60 competitors as they were put through their paces in a gruelling 3-day selection at Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire – where the top four were selected to represent the UK at the next selections stage.

Anna Ryder Richardson, a star survivor of last year’s I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, knows just what it takes to tackle tough environments. That’s why the celebrity TV interior designer has chosen a pair of Toyota Hilux to ride the range of her very own safari park.

Hilux is renowned the world over for its go-anywhere character – only last year it became the first car to be driven across the ice to the Magnetic North Pole. Now it is mixing it with the zebra, camels, reindeer and other exotic creatures that roam the zoo that Anna and husband Colin bought last year.

Porsche will offer a Cayenne with a diesel engine and thus extend its range of engines for the four door, all-wheel drive car further, once again. This decision was taken in response to changed legal regulations especially in European markets, resulting in tax incentives for vehicles with diesel engines. Furthermore, the Porsche stake in Volkswagen Group, the world’s largest manufacturer of modern diesel engines for passenger cars, has opened up new opportunities to utilise sporty compression-ignition technology.
