Food & Fast Cars: Andy & Chloe Experience Life in the Fast Lane
Fast cars and fantastic food – sounds like a dream day out, right? Well last month Andy and Chloe got to make that dream reality, as they shadowed the film crew of a potential new TV show that combines just that – world-class supercars (like those on our Driving Experience Days) and delicious grub.

And so last Saturday, Trent Park saw big numbers out in force for Team RLD, at the king of wet and wild obstacle courses – Gauntlet Games.

An impenetrable technicolour crowd sweeps through the winding city streets, charged with such a dynamic energy it’s as if the collective has one booming heartbeat. The message is loud and clear: “We are here,…
Photography Tips: Capture Your City
Smartphones are as much a part of our daily lives as breakfast, lunch and dinner, and everyday across the planet we share billions of pictures snapped by ‘phone. More and more people are dabbling in the world of photography, whether for the purpose of recording memories, enjoying a new hobby, or purely for the benefit of social media. But nothing quite beats the precision, composition and clarity of professional photography, no matter how many filters have been applied to a smartphone image. For many budding photographers, cities serve as a muse – and just because they don’t present the same serenity and natural allure as landscapes, it doesn’t mean they are lacking in beauty. Filled with…
