Let’s get one thing straight (or not): loving power oversteer doesn’t make you good at it. In fact, what makes this special cornering condition so great is knowing it’s something you will only sometimes get right. It can only be achieved reliably, after practice, by an expert in the right car. Let me define my kind of power oversteer. I’m not talking here about the special sport of drifting: that’s a different thing. Skilful, for sure, but its object is to produce lurid clouds of smoke, slowly and in an exaggerated attitude that has little to do with cornering speed.…

Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim has explained why he substituted Casemiro over other players during their 1-0 win over Newcastle on Boxing Day. The Red Devils were missing a number of key players with Bruno Fernandes injured, while Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui were all missing. A brilliant volley from Patrick Dorgu settled the match as Man Utd took all three points at Old Trafford to move up to fifth in the Premier League table, ahead of Saturday’s fixtures. With Man Utd captain Fernandes absent through injury, Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte started as their central midfield pairing with…
I had to go to Bruges, and the options were either to take my old Audi A2 or get some touring miles under the wheels of the Morgan Super 3 before the weather became too cold for that sort of thing. So I opted for the Morgan, and it turned out to be a splendid idea. First, the pre-trip checks. For tyre pressures, at the rear you have to open the boot and remove the inner panel; at the front the fancy wheel design means the valves are accessed from inside and below the wheel covers, so you have to…
A cough. A splutter. A jet of flame for good measure and the Merlin is prised from its slumbers and into rambunctious life. Many of you, perhaps even most, will have heard one of these engines, at Goodwood or an airshow. But unless you’re physically strapped into an aircraft boasting one, you can never claim to have felt one too. But I have. For I am in a Supermarine Spitfire, parked on the grass that forms the infield at Goodwood and, very shortly now, I shall be flying it. We know the Goodwood aerodrome for the wonderful Revival and Members’ Meetings it…
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed what Manchester United need to do if they are going to sign Atletico Madrid star Conor Gallagher next month. It has been widely reported that the Red Devils will look to overhaul their midfield in 2026 as they arguably need at least two new players in this department. In the summer, Man Utd focused on overhauling their attack as they spent over £200m to sign Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, while they also bought Senne Lammens to become their new No.1 goalkeeper. These deals have helped to improve Ruben Amorim‘s side, but…
In a way it is difficult not to admire Ruben Amorim, the dogmatic Manchester United manager appointed specifically for his unwavering faith in principles which have broken myriad negative records, delivered a 15th-placed Premier League finish and produced one of the most miserable major tournament final surrenders in modern history. The Portuguese, having realised that Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS have taken a Ludovico Technique-style approach to this infernal staring contest with a manager they have wedded themselves to for better or considerably worse, finally admitted he “would do 75% of things different” if offered the opportunity again. While that…
LG will present a named CLOiD at in Las Vegas. With humanoid robotics sure to feature heavily at this year’s tech conference, LG has teased its home assistant before a full unveiling in January.The company says CLOiD’s two articulated arms with five individually actuated fingers are designed to help with a variety of household tasks. However, LG has not yet given a specific example of a task CLOiD can handle. We’re also not sure what it looks like, because aside from a couple of very close-up images of CLOiD’s hands, LG is keeping what the robot looks like under wraps…
Respected journalist David Ornstein has revealed which Big Six club ‘would have’ been chosen by Manchester City-bound Antoine Semenyo on one condition. Semenyo has been one of the standout performers in the Premier League this term as he has shone for Bournemouth.

If streaming services’ year-in-review campaigns have shown us anything, it’s that we’ve spent a staggering amount of time drowning out the hum of everyday life with music, podcasts and audio series. And with some incredible new releases this year, we were really eatin’ good. Here are some of the Engadget team’s favorite things we listened to in 2025.Spiritbox – Tsunami SeaI became aware of Spiritbox in late 2024 shortly before the band dropped its latest album, Tsunami Sea. At the time, I was in a deep Sleep Token phase, and I don’t remember how I stumbled upon Spiritbox, but I’m…
