Pictured: Drivers caught out by high tides at Welsh beauty spot

Expensive cars and campervans are getting wrecked at a beauty spot on the Welsh coast as the tide catches out drivers.
Motorists are repeatedly running into trouble at Traeth y Greigddu, or Black Rock Sands, in North Wales where they are allowed to park on the sand.
Cars are routinely submerged in the sand and vulnerable to being swept out to sea by fast-flowing waters.
Five vehicles were trapped by the rising waters in April after parking on the shore, including a new Mercedes coupé and an Audi.
Council officials have warned drivers against leaving their cars on the beach at Morfa Bychan, a village near the resort town of Porthmadog in Gwynedd, after saying their officers were unable to rescue every trapped vehicle.
A Gwynedd council spokesman said: 'Where possible, during staffed hours, council officers will endeavour to recover any vehicles that get into such difficulties.
'However, in some cases it may be necessary to seek assistance from a third-party contractor, for which the driver or owner of the vehicle would be responsible for the associated costs.
'We welcome everyone who wishes to spend time on our beautiful beaches and coastal areas. However, we want everyone to enjoy themselves safely.'
The spokesman reminded visitors to Traeth y Greigddu to check the weather forecast and tide times before parking on the sand, and 'to treat the sea and coastline with respect'.
Gwynedd council advised drivers to park above the high-water mark and not to leave their cars unattended.
'Multiple signs are positioned along the beach at Morfa Bychan to warn users of the potential dangers and to indicate areas of the beach where vehicles are prohibited from accessing,' the council said in a statement.
'On occasion, the vehicles of those who have not heeded the warning signs can become trapped on the beach due to soft sand, having driven onto the sand banks, or because they have parked below the high-tide line.'
The beach was used as a backdrop for the Manic Street Preachers ' 1998 album cover This Is My Truth, Tell Me Yours.

Managing Mercedes as Antonelli signs plus Verstappen and Russell decisions made

It's not even midway through the 2025 Formula 1 season, and anticipation is already high regarding Mercedes' line-up for next year amid fresh rumours Max Verstappen could join Toto Wolff and the Mercedes team are approaching a major crossroads in regards to their driver line-up for next season. And with both George Russell and Kimi Antonelli set to see their contracts expire in December, resolutions are needed sooner rather than later. Antonelli, 18, replaced Lewis Hamilton at the end of 2024 when he signed a one-year deal with the Silver Arrows. Russell's three-year contract is also due to run out when this season concludes, and the team is running it close in terms of making a decision over their pairing for 2026. ‌ Then there's the looming figure of Max Verstappen, who has long been admired by team principal Wolff but is contracted at Red Bull until 2028. However, there have been inklings he could exit that deal early, and Mercedes face a conundrum in whether they should be the ones to execute that break-up. ‌ After years spent on the F1 throne, Mercedes now faces going a fifth straight year without a title to its name. With that in mind, Mirror Sport has taken a crack at determining which composition makes the most strategic sense before preparations begin for the 2026 campaign. Kimi Antonelli re-signs This feels like the easiest decision of the lot. Ignoring the fact Mercedes need results now and not in a few years time, Antonelli simply seems too promising a talent to part ways with, not to mention the fact he's a cheap expense on the salary bill. The teenager has adapted well to the demands of F1, and aside from a couple of retirements for which he can't be held responsible, he has largely overperformed in his senior debut. Montreal turned out to be a fabulous weekend for Mercedes as Antonelli snagged third place to go along with Russell's win, making the former the third-youngest podium finisher in F1 history. That's after the Italian already became the second-youngest points-scorer in F1 and the youngest to both lead a race and set a fastest lap (at Suzuka). So while he may sit seventh in the standings for the time being, Antonelli has provided plenty of reasons to believe that ranking could rocket over time. In short, releasing Antonelli now in favour of a more senior name feels like a decision Mercedes would inevitably come to regret in time. And while he may not be ready to lead the team to silverware in the immediate future, there's every sign that time may not be too far off. ‌ George Russell retained Taking into account the fact Mercedes have been fighting with an inferior car in recent years, Russell has been a model professional throughout those travails. And it would be an indictment on the team if their response to that loyalty was to drop the axe on their current No. 1. And it's not as though Russell hasn't been producing the goods, as evidenced when Mercedes' rear suspension changes opened the path to victory in Canada. The Briton has as many podium finishes as Verstappen this season (five) and now boasts just one fewer win, admirably filling Hamilton's shoes as lead driver. Wolff acknowledged Russell's progress at the Canadian Grand Prix this past weekend. And he said the 27-year-old is giving his bosses "all the reasons" to re-sign him on fresh terms following his pole position, which he would later convert into a win. ‌ "He's giving us all the reasons to do that quickly," said the Mercedes chief. "We know what he's capable of doing and he has been leading this team now since a while. He has the pace and the right attitude. He's been a Mercedes junior [for] such a long time, and we are on track in doing what we've always planned." There's also the fact F1 is at its core a numbers game, and Russell currently costs almost three times less than Verstappen. His reported £15million-a-year wage is liable to grow if he signs an extension but it's still far from matching Verstappen's reported £40m-a-year expense. ‌ That's a gargantuan amount that could otherwise be dedicated to the research and development of a winning car. And in truth, that's where the battle for F1 supremacy is currently being won, or in Mercedes' case, lost. Max Verstappen rejected The much harder route would be to persist in recruiting Verstappen, who still has another three seasons to run on his Red Bull contract. And that means on top of paying the Dutchman's salary, the Silver Arrows would also have to compensate his current outfit for terminating his deal early. There's also the fact Mercedes would likely have to radically improve his wages, with Aston Martin also vying for his signature. Previous reports have suggested a record-breaking amount in the hundreds of millions would be required to lure the four-time world champion. ‌ That's money Mercedes cannot, or rather should not, be willing to risk considering success still isn't guaranteed with him suddenly in silver. Not to mention the political implications given his numerous fallouts with the likes of Hamilton and Russell in recent years, simultaneously rubbing up Mercedes' legions of fans the wrong way. Wolff has rarely shied away from waxing lyrical about Verstappen and said in March 2024 that he would "love" to have him aboard, per Sky Sports. He added at the time: "This is a decision that Max needs to take and there is no team up and down the grid that wouldn't do handstands to have him in the car." ‌ If only handstands were all that's required, Wolff would have recruited the 27-year-old long ago. Instead, Mercedes are better off dedicating themselves to the much cheaper solution in Russell, who is only marginally worse off than Verstappen this season in what many would call a worse car. There's also the major risk that Mercedes would be investing in a star who has already past his peak and no longer has the hunger of old. He has already made numerous nods to a potential early retirement, which is rarely a good sign when it comes to sustaining success. His frustrations have been on display for all to see after spending much of 2025 thus far trailing the superior McLarens of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris. And it may be Mercedes simply sees more of the same, the only difference being they'd be the ones footing the bill.

The new BMW X7 is getting the Neue Klasse treatment

We only got confirmation last month that BMW's largest SUV, the X7, will return for a second generation, but we've caught it testing on the road already as it's prepared for an expected launch in 2026. BMW subtly announced the new model during its Q1 financial results call earlier this year, during which the company revealed it had incurred the research and development costs for the upcoming Neue Klasse line-up (which will launch later this year with the new iX3) as well as 'successor models to the BMW X5 and BMW X7'. Advertisement - Article continues below News of a fifth-generation X5 was no surprise, as we've also spotted it testing with some clear design influences from the Neue Klasse concepts. As with the new X5, due in 2026, the X7, which may also arrive next year, looks like it'll borrow styling from the Neue Klasse line-up. What is immediately obvious from the shots of this camouflaged test car is that the X7 will retain its position as BMW's biggest SUV. The sheer proportions will surely give it seven-seat capacity once more, ensuring it remains a close rival to the Mercedes GLS (which will soon be updated) and the full-size Range Rover. Skip advert Advertisement - Article continues below At the front end, it looks like the new X7 will continue with the split headlight design that appears on the current car and the 7 Series limousine flagship. Here we can see a chunky headlight cluster below a thin LED strip. In the middle, there's a vertical kidney grille arrangement – we'll have to wait and see if this merges into the headlights, as per the Neue Klasse concept models. Also visible are some tabs on top of the doors to the side, which is something we've seen on other prototype BMWs, including the next-generation X5. At the rear, the design is less radical, with a quad-tip exhaust system on this car suggesting it could be a hot M50 or M60 variant, plus an overhanging roof spoiler. Underneath, the new X7 is expected to sit on a revised version of BMW's existing Cluster Architecture (CLAR). This platform is able to cater to both internal-combustion and pure-electric powertrains. While BMW hasn't suggested the new X7 will gain a pure-electric variant, the German firm has at least trademarked the 'iX7' nameplate. An all-electric iX7 wouldn't be too surprising, however, given that BMW is in the process of creating EV variants of its core models. The Neue Klasse programme will see the introduction of the X3-sized iX3 first, followed by the all-electric 'i3' 3 Series and at a later stage an electric 'i1' 1 Series. It's possible the electric components for the iX7 could be taken from the i7. Powering the CLAR-underpinned i7 is a 105.7kWh battery with three different power outputs – a single-motor rear-wheel-drive 449bhp unit, a dual-motor four-wheel-drive 537bhp version and a top-rung dual-motor with 650bhp. Given the X7 is an SUV, we'd expect only the dual-motor all-wheel-drive layouts to be offered. Can't wait for the new model? Check out the best BMW X7 deals right now...

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Interior Layout & Technology

Interior What is it like on the inside? A 405-litre boot that expands to 1,171 litres with the seats folded means two things. It's actually shrunk about 40 litres during the facelift and is about two-thirds the size of equivalent estates from Audi and Merc. You do notice. The tailgate's slope limits load capacity and the boot is actually quite narrow. Don't forget about the area under the nose though. Another 81 litres and just the place for the bulky cables. Advertisement - Page continues below There's more. Although this can be partially alleviated by raising the air suspension, elderly relatives aren't going to enjoy dropping down into the low seats – conversely, elderly dogs are less likely to need assistance into the boot and if you do wreck the 0.25Cd drag factor with a roof box you should be able to access it easily. But yeah, for good or ill, a roof height of 1,392mm (100mm lower than an RS6) does mean this is a low-slung car. How is it for those in the back? A bit dark and lacking in legroom. The front chairs are big and dominant in your view, but the Sport Turismo does at least benefit from an extra 36mm of headroom compared to the saloon. Two people will fit, the third will complain. And you'll be able to hear them because it will come as no surprise to learn that this is a very quiet and refined car. It's beautifully built and attractively designed and laid out inside. Advertisement - Page continues below Does the driver have the best of it then? Emphatically. It may be an estate, but this is still a Porsche - it's all about the driver. The GTS comes with Race-Tex Alcantara upholstery as standard. Have it, it's great. Lovely driving position, small, tactile steering wheel, you sit low and feel snug. On the whole the screens are good to interact with. The dash display is operated logically via the steering's clickwheel, while the twin-stacked central screens don't bury things too deep in the menus. Which means less jabbing to disable the speed bongs and lane keep. And you'll want to do that as Porsche's lane keep isn't that impressive. Can you have paddles? Funny you should ask, because yes, post-facelift you can now option paddles in a Taycan. No gearbox obviously, they're there to adjust the regen braking. At last. Until now Porsche has always insisted braking should be done with the brake pedal, but has now relented. And charged you £394 if you want it.
