Seat the Spanish carmaker have come up with a new concept of settling the battle of the sexes with regard as to who are the better drivers.
They are seeking 300 drivers via their website who will take part in reality type TV shows which reduce the number of contestants to four of each sex.
To reach the last four contestants who are required to be between 18 to 44 years old must be able to drive and control the latest Seat Leon Cupra R in tests at speeds up to 155mph.

It was a Ferrari one-two (at last) at the German GP at Hockenheim with Alonso leading Massa home and Vettel claiming third, while Hamilton, Button and Webber followed in that order.

Big question for the UK motoring industry is whether Vince Cable has really put the brakes on the budding green car development industry in the UK.

The British School of Motoring (BSM) have just come out with a claim that taking a driving test in a pink car will provide a relaxing effect on physical behaviour, will help reduce anxiety and steady the nerves.
Somehow the colour pink, according to the Institute of Biosocial Research in Washington, USA, assists heart muscles to relax which leads to slower and deeper breathing thereby also making you more alert.
That's the theory.
