Practice makes perfect as Payne pips Supercars rivals
Supercars youngster Matt Payne saved his best for last to top the final practice session in Perth. The Grove Racing driver set a lap time of 54.390 seconds in a last-gasp effort to top the time sheet at Wanneroo Raceway on Friday. He pipped Team 18's Anton De Pasquale by 0.085 seconds with the final lap of the 30-minute session. Payne will be looking to back up his race win in Tasmania, having moved into third in the series after denying championship leader Broc Feeney by 0.0550 seconds in the final sprint. "We've made huge gains with our car," Payne said. "Last year we were just too inconsistent to be fighting for the championship. "We've really tried to, coming into this week, up the prep and just make sure we're across everything." Thomas Randle, rewarded by Tickford with a two-year deal earlier in the week, was third fastest. Randle is still chasing his first career win, having joined Supercars full-time in 2022. "When will that happen? Hopefully, this weekend," Randle said. The red flag was brought out after 13 minutes on Friday when Tickford wildcard Lochie Dalton got stuck in the gravel at the first turn. Dalton's Mustang nearly rolled on to its side when the Super2 driver locked his rears going into turn one. He avoided any damage and was able to rejoin the fray. Brad Jones Racing's Jaxon Evans was fastest in the opening practice session, clocking 55.086 seconds after putting on new soft tyres. He was 0.359 seconds quicker than fellow sophomore driver Ryan Wood, with Feeney third fastest. Rookies and drivers in their second year are allotted an extra set of tyres for practice, allowing Evans to post his time. Evans will be out to continue his rise after posting his career-best qualifying result in Tasmania, starting seventh in the final sprint race. "It's really nice to finish the session on top. It's the first time I've done it in Supercars," Evans said. Triple Eight ace Feeney is out to extend his 33-point lead over reigning champion Will Brown, eyeing a clean sweep of the three sprint races in Perth. Meanwhile, Walkinshaw Andretti United's Wood will hope to break through for a maiden career win after finishing on the podium for the first time in New Zealand. Drivers return to the track for back-to-back qualifying sessions at 11.45am (AEST) on Saturday before Race 14 of the season at 2.55pm.

Modern Collector's Guide: The Ford Mustang from 1965 to Today
Read the full story on Modern Car Collector Few cars have captured the American spirit like the Ford Mustang. As the originator of the 'pony car' segment, the Mustang remains a symbol of performance, style, and mass appeal. First introduced in April 1964, the Mustang was an instant success and has since become one of the world's longest-running and best-selling sports cars. This modern collector's guide walks through every Mustang generation, right through to the latest S650 model. The Mustang debuted in April 1964, sparking a frenzy with over 22,000 units sold on the first day. It came in hardtop, convertible, and later fastback form. Over its nearly decade-long run, the Mustang grew in size and power, peaking with the 1971–1973 models, which could be equipped with the potent 429 Cobra Jet V8. Responding to the fuel crisis, the Mustang II downsized drastically and shared a platform with the Ford Pinto. Though underpowered, it sold over a million units and earned Motor Trend's Car of the Year in 1974. Built on the Fox platform, this era balanced affordability with performance. It survived nearly 15 years, from the 2.3L four-cylinder to the revered 5.0L V8 GT. Later years introduced the LX 5.0 and SVT Cobra variants. Marking a major redesign, the SN-95 adopted sleeker lines and new modular V8s. In 1999, the 'New Edge' facelift sharpened its look. High-performance Cobras, Bullitts, and Mach 1s marked standout models. Retro styling made a comeback with this wildly successful reboot. The return of the 5.0 Coyote V8 in 2011 elevated performance, while Shelby GT500s and Boss 302s offered track-ready excitement. Global ambitions drove the S550 with independent rear suspension and turbocharged EcoBoost options. The Shelby GT350, GT350R, and 760-hp GT500 raised the bar for street-legal Mustangs. A mid-cycle update in 2018 brought refined styling and tech upgrades. Unveiled for the 2024 model year, the S650 continues Mustang's evolution. Still based on a heavily updated S550 platform, the new Mustang offers a Digital Cockpit, sharper exterior lines, and carries forward the 2.3L EcoBoost and Gen 4 Coyote 5.0L V8. A six-speed manual remains available on GT models, and the all-new 500-hp Mustang Dark Horse joins the lineup as the most track-capable 5.0L Mustang ever built. Ford's first all-electric crossover, the Mach-E, controversially wears the Mustang badge. While it doesn't replace the two-door coupe, it expands the nameplate with trims like the high-performance GT and upcoming Rally edition. First Gen (1965–73): ~3 million Mustang II (1974–78): ~1.1 million Fox Body (1979–93): ~2.6 million SN-95 (1994–04): ~1.6 million S197 (2005–14): ~1 million S550 (2015–23): ~750,000+ S650 (2024+): Production ongoing From Le Mans to Main Street, the Ford Mustang continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, the Mustang offers timeless appeal, a rich aftermarket, and a passionate global fan base. The legend lives on.

Can you find this sidewalk EV charger? It's hiding inside the curb
A typical EV charger in the U.S. is a bulky, 6-foot-tall box in a parking lot. In Germany, a startup is rolling out a new type of charger that looks very different: Called the Curb Charger, it fits seamlessly inside a curb at the edge of a street. The Curb Charger 'upgrades existing urban infrastructure and adds hardly any additional street furniture to cities,' says Felix Stracke, vice president of new mobility at Rheinmetall, the company that designed the charger. (Rheinmetall's primary business is defense manufacturing—the $80 billion company is the largest arms manufacturer in Germany—but it diversified into EV charging when it saw the opportunity for growth.) For an apartment dweller who parks their car on the street, having curbside charging suddenly makes it much easier to own an EV. Instead of driving to a store and waiting while the car charges, it's possible to plug in overnight or when the car would otherwise be parked for hours. It also makes slow charging feasible, which helps EV batteries last longer and is less of a strain on the grid. Larger chargers don't necessarily fit well on a curb. On a narrow sidewalk, they can take up too much space; they're at more risk of vandalism; they can also block views and change the visual identity of a historic neighborhood. But the scaled-down design of the new chargers is nearly invisible. That invisibility is also a challenge, since drivers can't quickly spot a charger. But an app can be deployed to direct someone to the nearest charging point. chargers that double as streetlights or packaging them in a sleek box that looks better than a conventional charger and is easier to install. The Curb Charger sits inside a case that's exactly the same size as a standard German curb. (The size can be adjusted for other locations.) It's strong enough that a heavy truck can drive over it, and it's waterproof, so the system can keep working in heavy rain. Drivers activate it through an app or by scanning a QR code. It does require that drivers have their own charging cord, though that's standard in Europe. Rheinmetall says the equipment doesn't cost more than a conventional charging station, and the small size means that installation can be simpler and cost less. If a charger needs repair, the charging module can be swapped out, making maintenance less expensive as well. When streets have major repairs, they could potentially be rebuilt with the hollow curb cases, ready to add the charging equipment as needed.
