Lamborghini’s first SUV, the Urus, has recorded a rather unusual land speed record, taking a class win at an event called Days of Speed. The record, which now sits at 70.9mph, doesn’t seem all that impressive until you realize that it’s for a one kilometer standing start… on ice.

The first new GT Sport Daily Races of spring (or autumn if you’re reading this in the southern hemisphere) bring up a pair of one-make road car races for the classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout to get your teeth into for the next week. There’s two fictional circuits in the mix, and a blast from the past event based on a real-world endurance race too.

With the official Formula One pre-season testing getting underway in Bahrain today, Haas F1 has finally taken the covers off its 2021 challenger, the VF-21.
