For this week's 30 Seco...

While waiting for his flight from Frankfurt back home, we caught up with Simon over a Zoom video chat to talk about his championship win, how he transitioned from a rear-wheel drive V8 to an all-wheel drive electric SUV, his management of race strategy, the unique aspects of the electric series including a temporary boost, along with his Lego set, and how he finally managed to secure his champions...

This week we discuss the Gazoo Racing Super Sport – could a Toyota really be the world’s most exciting hypercar? Also, Sam Wallace’s prayers are answered with the announcement of a ridiculously powerful V8 ute. Things get heated in the Car Quiz as more of the DRIVEN team get points on the board – but can you beat us to the answers? In our 30-Second Sell segment, we search DRIVEN.co.nz to discover...

We’re back to our roots this week, thanks to Auckland’s re-entry to Level 3, where it all started for Zooming with DRIVEN: on Zoom! Hosted by Coast’s Sam Wallace and the DRIVEN motoring team, we’re all working from home this week, but the show can go on. This week we're debating the best utes for sale at DRIVEN.co.nz on a $20k budget, then we double that budget and go showroom shopping for a brand...

This week the team asks the big question of SUV or Supercar, we have just $6k to play with in our game of 30-Second Sell, from cars for sale at DRIVEN.co.nz.

After a week away, Andrew's back with his often controversial, always entertaini...

We'll talk fashion. No, really.
