DTM reigning champion Bruno Spengler enjoyed a spot of golf in the week following his second place at the Brands Hatch race, round two of his season.

Just outside London, the Canadian took part in a pro-am tournament sponsored by BMW, the manufacturer for which he drives in the German touring car championship.

He played alongside former grand prix driver Derek Warwick, 1992 BTCC champion Tim Harvey, and golf star Sergio Garcia.

"I struggled a bit with my game today, as I was not hitting the ball well," complained Spengler, despite Garcia's encouraging comments about his game.

"It was great company out there. All three were very nice guys, and Bruno certainly has potential", the Spaniard felt.

2013 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ

2013 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ
2013 Chevrolet Suburban LTZ - Editors' Notebook - Automobile Magazine
It's not hard to see why the Suburban was such a hit in the late '90s and early 2000s.

Today's Suburban isn't quite as old as the nameplate itself, which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2010, but it is showing its age. General Motors launched the GMT900 range of trucks almost seven years ago, and thanks to a number of factors -- including a frosty full-size truck market and that bankruptcy you might have heard about– the typical mid-cycle update granted to its predecessors never happened. Save for some minor tweaks, including the addition of a USB audio input within the cellar-like center console and an electronic trailer brake controller placed just left of the steering column, what you see is essentially GM's state of the art circa 2006. Which is to say it was ho-hum then, and is completely outdated now. The Suburban's cabin -- even in fully-loaded LTZ guise -- looks old and schmaltzy, and lacks the fit and finish that you'd expect from a truck pushing $60k.
