Ayrton Senna's 1986 Lotus 98T

The Lotus 98T was the last F1 car to wear the black and gold of John Player Special, the cigarette brand whose 14-year sponsorship of Lotus produced one of the most iconic liveries in motorsport history. Driven exclusively by Ayrton Senna in the first half of 1986, the Lotus 98T won in Spain by 0.014 seconds over Nigel Mansell, the third closest finish in F1 history, then won again in Detroit after Senna rejoined 20 seconds behind the leader following a puncture and passed every car on track. In qualifying trim, the 1.5-litre Renault V-6 produced over 1,000 brake-horsepower, with turbos running so hot after a single lap that mechanics pulled them with asbestos gloves as they sparked on the pit floor. Bought directly from Lotus in 1988, restored by Paul Lanzante Ltd, and at auction now for the first time in nearly a decade.

Urban Armor Gear iPad Cases

Urban Armor Gear's latest lineup of iPad cases treats Apple's tablets like the tools they actually are. Designed for the 2025 iPad Pro, iPad, and iPad Air, the Scout Plus, Plyo LT Folio, and Metropolis SE Folio each balance protection, usability, and restraint without drifting into overbuilt bulk. The Scout Plus keeps things light and rugged with TPU construction, corner impact protection, and a built-in kickstand that makes hands-free work or streaming effortless. Plyo LT Folio strips the idea down to clean lines and smart details, pairing an armor shell with a soft impact core, integrated kickstand, Apple Pencil storage, and subtle customization via interchangeable camera rings. At the top end, the Metropolis SE Folio blends business polish with military-grade drop protection, adding a multi-angle kickstand and refined color options that feel equally at home in meetings or on the move. It's a modular approach to protection that respects how iPads are actually used day to day.
