blogentry-133713-0-95253400-1466913521_thumb.jpgFew weeks ago, Mark Higgins broke the lap record on the Isle of Man TT with a specially prepped 2016 WRX STI Time Attack car. And now Subaru has released the video of how he did it.

 

Higgins has been breaking the Isle of Man lap records with Subaru, with the first record being five years ago where he drove a 2011 Subaru WRX STI and set his own record at 19 minutes and 37 seconds. He then broke it again two years ago with a 2015 Subaru WRX STI sedan by going 22 seconds faster.

 

This time round, he did not do it in a nearly stock car, but with a proper race car made in partnership with Prodrive. Obviously it comes with a lot more power under the hood with which he completed the 60km course in 17 minutes and 35 seconds.

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood.

And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Note: Click here to read Pt. 1, where the journey began in Hong Kong. NEXT UP: CHONGQING Day 3, cont.: Dad had decided on the scenic route to Chongqing - train. We did not realise that the immigration process at the Hong Kong Kowloon West station involved both the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities, so we found ourselves in a rush to board the train (we boarded minutes before the scheduled departure). Through the eight-hour journey, the passing sights made me realise the diversity

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an
