MansellL mania is back...
MansellL mania is back in Britain, and Auto Express has been given a taste of it... by ‘Our Nige’ himself! On 13 August, the ex-Formula One champion races at Silverstone for the first time since he clinched the British GP in his 1992 title-winning year. And as a warm-up, he took us for a spin in a special two-seater version of the Grand Prix Masters car he’ll be driving.

Mirrors which help lorry drivers spot cyclists are set to be put up at junctions around London. The capitalò€™s mayor, Boris Johnson, has called for ò€˜Trixiò€™ mirrors to be installed across the city after it was revealed that the majority of cyclist deaths involve lorries turning left at traffic lights.
Transport for London has asked the Department for Transport for permission to trial the mirrors before two ò€˜cycle superhighwaysò€™ are created next May. The first pair of routes will go from south Wimbledon to Bank and from Barking to Tower Hill. A further 10 will be introduced by 2012.
