Behold: the Mazda RX-10 Vision Longtail – a concept render by Maximilian Schneide of a mid-engined supercar inspired by the legendary 787B Le Mans-winning racer.
The design ‘envisages’ a hybrid 2.3l turbocharged ICE coupled to two electric motors at the front wheels for a combined 1,030bhp and a top speed of 436km/h.
Admittedly, something of a ‘what if’, but still.

US President Donald Trump at yesterday’s White House Covid-19 press briefing
Last night.
According to Mr Trump, WHO prevented transparency over the outbreak and the United States – the UN body’s biggest funder which provided $400 million last year – will now “discuss what to do with all that money that goes to the WHO.”
He said that the WHO had not sent experts into China quickly enough when the outbreak first emerged and took the assurances from that country’s leaders “at face value”.
Mr Trump said had the WHO “done its job” by getting experts into China swiftly then “the outbreak could have been contained at its sources with very little death”. The US president suggested thousands of lives could have been saved by such action.

Assistant Professor and Ad Astra Fellow at the School of Politics and International Relations in University College Dublin Stefan Müller tweetz:
“Yesterday, Aidan Regan noted that the compass of Irish politics has moved to the centre-left.
“I merged the Irish National Election Studies between 2002 and 2020 (The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems) with the UCD Politics and Ireland Thinks online poll. Indeed, drastic changes over the past 18 years.”

Zali – That Girl
All the single ladies…
Introducing homegrown new pop/soul singer Zali, who puts her own stamp on the old-school r’n’b genre.
Unabashedly slinky and sensual, the video by Ovie Etseyatse puts Zali front and centre.
Zali says:
“That Girl is a bold reminder to girls everywhere to unapologetically own the unique and multifaceted nature of who they are, because, even when we don’t see it ourselves, there are people out there looking up to us and being inspired by us each and every day.”
Nick says: Girl power.
