New, limited edition McLaren 750S Le Mans is a track demon
The Le Mans 24 Hour endurance race is right around the corner and to celebrate 30 years since its overall win in 1995, McLaren has unveiled the 750S Le Mans. If this sounds familiar, then you'd be right because back in 2020 McLaren marked the 25th anniversary of its win with the special edition 720S Le Mans. Aside from the performance upgrades the 750S introduced in 2023, there's also a new 'High Downforce Kit' from McLaren Special Operations for 'additional track performance'. Advertisement - Article continues below The standard 750S proved exceptionally popular when it was released three years ago, with order books immediately filling up for 18 months. The 750S Le Mans is likely to be in even more demand, with just 50 units planned – the same amount as the 720S Le Mans. The 750S Le Mans wears the colours of McLaren's famous 1995 Le Mans-winning number 59 F1 GTR with grey exterior paint – although McLaren's distinctive orange paint is optionally available, too. The 750S also gets a roof scoop and five-spoke LM wheels, reminiscent of the McLaren F1 GTR's. The MSO High Downforce Kit (HDK) consists of a new active rear carbon spoiler and an enlarged carbon-fibre splitter combining for an extra 10 per cent of downforce. The 750S's powertrain remains unchanged, with a four-litre twin-turbocharged V8 producing 740bhp and 800Nm for a 2.8-second zero to 62mph time. That power goes to the rear wheels via a revised (over the 720S) seven-speed automatic gearbox. Inside, you'll find McLaren's typically stripped-back cabin with a roll cage and a choice of Le Mans-branded bucket seats – either fully-upholstered or with exposed carbon fibre. There's also a bespoke plaque that acknowledges the 1995 victory where the dominant F1 GTR not only took the win, but also finished third, fourth and fifth. McLaren will be at this year's Le Mans racing in the LMGT3 class with its 750S-based GT3 EVO cars; in 2027 it'll enter the Hypercar class to compete for top honours.

Looking Back at Lollapalooza 1995
Image Credit... Michael Robinson Chavez/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Hi, I'm David Malitz, an editor on the Culture desk who has been writing or assigning music coverage for almost 20 years now. As summer festival season kicks into high gear, I'm thinking about the best music festival I ever attended: Lollapalooza 1995. Unlike today, when there's seemingly a different mega-festival each weekend, 30 years ago there was really only one major player. Lollapalooza was both a mainstream touring behemoth and the embodiment of alternative culture that ruled the '90s. When people (like me, often, I'm sorry) speak of the glory days of the '90s, Lollapalooza 1995 was both the peak and the end of the road. We still had it plenty good for a while, but this tour did feel like a last gasp. Looking at the lineup now, it seems like a great college radio playlist, but not exactly a shed-filling financial success. The festival pivoted away from underground rock the following year and went on hiatus after its journey into electronica in 1997. To celebrate 30 years of this inspired collection of bands, here's a playlist of songs from the acts that performed on the tour's main stage, with a couple of bonus tracks from the not-to-be-missed second stage. Time takes its crazy toll, David If it seems weird now that a famously iconoclastic band without even a single gold record to its name headlined a festival playing to upward of 25,000 people at each stop, it was weird then, too. Chalk it up to something of a lifetime achievement award for the New York legends who influenced acts down the rest of the bill. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.

Petition against Waqf 1995 Act, SC issues notice to Centre and states
The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued notice to the Centre and state governments on a petition challenging the validity of several provisions of the Waqf Act, 1995. At the outset, a bench headed by Chief Justice of India (CJI) B.R. Gavai indicated that it would dismiss the petition challenging the constitutional validity of the 1995 Act solely on the grounds of delay. 'We will dismiss on the grounds of delay. You are challenging the 1995 Act in 2025. Why should a challenge to the 1995 Act be entertained in 2025?' questioned the Bench, also comprising Justice A.G. Masih. In response, the petitioner's counsel cited the notice issued in 2021 by the top court on a plea challenging the validity of the Places of Worship Act, 1991. Further, he contended that the plea questioned the constitutional validity of the Waqf Act, 1995, including the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2013 and the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Aishwarya Bhati, the law officer of the Centre, expressed that no difficulty should arise if the present petition is tagged with the pending batch of pleas challenging the Waqf Act, 1995. ASG Bhati said that the top court has already clarified that it would not hear the pleas challenging the Waqf Act, 1995, along with the clutch of pleas challenging the validity of the recently promulgated Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. After hearing the submissions, the CJI Gavai-led Bench issued notice to the Centre and state governments, and tagged the matter with the pending pleas challenging the validity of the Waqf Act, 1995. The plea filed before the apex court contended that the Waqf Act, 1995 is against Articles 14, 15, 21, 25, 26, 27 and 300A of the Constitution, and therefore, it must be 'abrogated and a secular law should be enacted in spirit of the constitutional principles of equity, justice and good conscience'. 'The Act is made to administer the properties of Muslims, but there are no similar laws for followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Judaism, Bahaism, Zoroastrianism and Christianity. Hence, it is totally against the secularism, unity and integrity of the nation. Waqf is not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution,' the plea said. It added that if the impugned Act has been made to protect the fundamental rights guaranteed under Articles 29 and 30, then the law has to cover all minorities, i.e., followers of Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism, Bahaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and not only Muslims.
