To get higher octane from premium fuel, most will add a bottle of octane booster. VP Racing has a strong reputation with fuels and its high octane formulas are very popular in racing. Adding their C5 Octane Booster to a tank of fuel will increase the octane ratings by 3.3 RON, thanks to the effective MMT agent (Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl), which is proven to deliver the greatest octane boost.

The C5 Octane Booster is capable of boosting octane up to eight numbers for increased performance while providing lead lubrication. Increased fuel octane helps to eliminate pre-ignition and detonation, which translates into more horsepower and torque. More than just increasing octane ratings, it also provides upper cylinder lubrication especially for older engines and protects it from valve seat recession.

Going back to formula might just end the argument about which type of petrol offers the best performance in our cars.

The rest of the stalls rounded up the carnival-like atmosphere. The official Formula One team merchandise booth sold all kinds of F1 memorabilia. Team booths from Red Bull Racing, Vodafone McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari were present too. Malaysian Red Crescent Society members were on site, collecting donations to help victims of the tsunami and earthquakes in Japan.

Since we last saw them, Brian and Mia Toretto (Brewster) broke Dom out of custody and have blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio, they must pull off one last job in order to gain their freedom. Their mission? Assemble an elite team of top operatives made up of their family of friends to orchestrate an insane heist worth $100 million. Dom and Brian know their only shot of getting out for good means crippling the corrupt businessman (Joaquim De Almeida) who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on the unlikely allies’ tails.

Now a free man with a list of his targets and addresses in hand, it was only hours after Driver laid the smack down the first name on his hit list, that he had two men hot on his trail - a retiring cop (Billy Bob Thornton) and a young egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) with a flair for the art of killing. Also, the enemies Driver made in prison weren't going to forgive him, waiting for their time for revenge.

IN X-mini, Speakers, Capsule

Our first giveaway for 2011! Win yourself a special edition X-mini speaker courtesy of Xmi Pte Ltd!

What differentiates them however is that the X-mini II is purely a monaural speaker, whereas the Max II is a stereo variant. Both of them feature the BXS (Bass Xpansion System)-- twist the speakers and it “pops” out, revealing an accordion-like plastic tube that acts as a “bass chamber” in larger speakers. You could still use these speakers in the compact mode, but we wouldn't recommend it as you'll be reducing the bass response.

You know your product's good when people start copying it. We had a go with the X-mini II and MAX II to find out how good they are at blastin'.

In summary, of course there are other grouses that we could pick on such as the sound quality right down to the performance tuning, but those aside, it is the incredibly detailed imagery of the game that keeps us addicted as well as the fact that we are just hardcore racing gamers, and we're glad that nothing has diluted the pure racing experience. There’s no denying that the beautiful GT5 has set the bar for racing sims to an all-new high and we are looking forward to more nights of racing in the comfort of our office lounge.
