Dalziel: Second hard to take
Ryan Dalziel said it was "hard to take" finishing in second position at the Daytona 24 Hours after being on course to win for so much of the race. The 29-year-old Briton, who was bidding to add to his victory at the 2010 event, put his Starworks Riley-Ford on pole position and led large parts of the race with help from his co-drivers Allan McNish, Lucas Luhr, Enzo Potolicchio and Alex Popow. But a major trip through the dirt for Luhr dropped the car off the lead lap during the second half of the event and left the team relying on clever strategy around the caution periods to get back into a threatening position.

Study: Jeremy Clarkson voted worst off-road trip partner in UK survey
Filed under: UK, Celebrities, Off-Road
If you're about to embark on an off-road driving expedition, you're going to need the right co-pilot. Someone with good knowledge of how a car works, good survival skills and - most important of all - a good sense of humor.
This according to a recent study carried out in the UK by Continental Tires ahead of the launch of the Conti 4x4 Trophy, in which respondents ranked humor as an over-arching qualifying trait for the right person to ride shotgun.
So who did the British respondents choose? The blokes went with a pretty face in glamor model Kelly Brook, while the ladies elected Robert Pattinson of Twilight fame. But it's the least favorite picks that caught our attention.
According to the study, the worst person to have riding shotgun on such an off-road trip would be Jeremy Clarkson. Joining Jezza in the top ten least favorite co-pilots in the study were Katie Price (another "glamor model" like the aforementioned Kelly Brook who goes by the name Jordan), Prime Minister David Cameron, fashion model Kate Moss, TV show hostesses Carol Vorderman and Christine Bleakley, parliamentarian Nick Clegg, pop idol Madonna, Idol host Simon Cowell and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton.
For our part, we're not sure the Top Gear host (or for that matter the McLaren driver) would be at the very top of our list, but he certainly wouldn't be at the bottom. This after a similar study placed Jezza as the top choice for a house-sitter, one of the top five Brits that men would like to have a date with, and, most contradictingly, the country's top pick for a passenger on an on-road trip.

Pasini in Speed Master MotoGP move
Mattia Pasini will step up to MotoGP with the Speed Master squad's CRT programme this year. The seat had been earmarked for former factory Kawasaki MotoGP rider Anthony West, before the Australian announced yesterday that he had been unable to raise a sufficient budget. Pasini was a race winner in 125cc and 250cc, but the 26-year-old Italian has had two difficult seasons in Moto2 over the past two years

First Drive: 2012 Mini Cooper S Roadster

Although this car didn?t lose weight when its football-helmet Coupe top was lopped off?it?s actually about 90 pounds heavier than its hard-shelled sibling?it definitely lost a lot of ugly.

Report: 2013 Audi RS4 Avant headed to Geneva
Filed under: Performance, Wagon, Geneva Motor Show, Europe, Audi
Downsizing? What downsizing? While rivals may be replacing cylinders with turbochargers - heck, even Audi itself has done that with the twin-turbo V8 succeeding the V10 in the S8 and such - the new RS4 is reportedly on its way in full-fat 4.2-liter V8 FSI trim.
The report comes courtesy of AMAG, the importer for Audi in Switzerland, which has confirmed that the RS4 Avant (oft spied in prototype guise) is scheduled to debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show this coming March. Along with it, we're told to expect a series of new TSFI engines and an upgraded TT-RS with 360 horses.
As for the RS4 Avant, we're looking at 450 horsepower with all-wheel drive and enough cargo capacity to make any luxury crossover buyer reconsider (much like the S4 Avant pictured above, only more so). That is, buyers in Europe, anyway, as we're not expecting the RS4 to make the trek across the Atlantic.
