**The Battle Royale Has Begun!**

This week's battle royale commenced with a shout-out to rusty Mane's Duckman 1064, who was snuggled up under winter blankets in Indiana USA due to the frigid temperatures of minus 18 Fahrenheit (minus 28 Celsius), with wind chill making it an astonishing minus 37 Celsius. The question on everyone's mind this week is what you think is the prettiest car ever made. And, boy, did we have some incredible suggestions! From the e-type, endorsed by none other than Enzo Ferrari himself, to a plethora of other stunning vehicles, we've got our eyes on them.

The winner of last week's battle royale was a topic of discussion among the petrolheads, and it's no surprise that the e-type took the top spot. But, what about this week? Will we have another clear winner, or will the competition get fierce? Stay tuned to find out! In the meantime, we want to know: are you running winter tires on your car during the cold months? Do you bother with separate sets for the winter season, or do you stick with your regular tires?

**Formula One News**

The world of Formula One has got some exciting news brewing. The Alfa Romeo team, which has been a part of F1 since 1993, is set to make a significant change in their name. Gone are the days of the Salba team; they will now be known as the Alfa Romeo Formula One team. This marks the first time we've seen Alfa Romeo return to the sport since 1985. It's exciting news for fans and will undoubtedly bring a new level of excitement to the grid.

But that's not all - we also have the news that Fernando Alonso, the three-time F1 world champion, was part of the winning team at the Daytona 24-hour race. This is brilliant news, not just for Alonso but for fans around the world who love to see their favorite drivers competing at the highest level. And now, the question on everyone's mind is: can Alonso achieve the Triple Crown by winning the Indy 500 this year? Only time will tell.

**New Car News**

The Velar has finally received the special Vehicle Operations (SVO) treatment that many have been clamoring for. With a soft spot for the Velar, I've always thought it would be incredible to see what it would be like with SVO under the bonnet. And now, we can say that this dream has come true! The SVO-powered Velar boasts an impressive 5-litre V8 engine, producing a whopping 542 bhp and 680 Newton meters of torque. Not only does it look stunning, but it's also set to accelerate from nought to 60 in just 4.3 seconds and reach a top-end speed of 170 miles per hour.

But be warned: this car is only being produced for one year, and they start from the T6 ground, so don't wait! These vehicles are going to fly off the shelves quickly. And if you're interested in seeing the Velar in action, I've got some exciting news - I played with the Jeep Compass at GT UK last week, both on-road and off. Stay tuned for that video coming up soon!

**Caffeine & Machine: A Petrolhead's Paradise**

I had the pleasure of visiting Caffeine & Machine, a petrolhead's dream venue, located just outside Stratford-on-Avon in the UK. With its beautiful collection of vintage cars, stunning artwork adorning the walls, and an array of delicious coffee and food options available, it's no wonder this place is becoming a hotspot for petrolheads.

As I stepped foot into the venue, I couldn't help but be impressed by the sheer variety of vehicles on display. From classic Porsches to sleek motorcycles, there was something for everyone. And, with new exhibitions and events being added regularly, Caffeine & Machine is sure to keep you entertained.

Unfortunately, my initial attempt to schedule a meet-and-greet with the team at Caffeine & Machine was met with regret. However, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be returning to the venue soon, this time with a car or two in tow. In the meantime, I highly recommend paying them a visit - it's an absolute must-see destination for any petrolhead.

Stay tuned for more exciting content from Petrol Pet!
