It's true. Since March 18, all of us have been living in a collective dream. When we wake up, it will be March 19. This is true. How do I know? Well, Australia's leading psychoanalyst, Professor Michael McMichael of the Bayerische Motoren-Werke Autowerkstatt Universität StepneyStraße, told me.

Yesterday morning, the big news in the race car world was that Scott McLaughlin won the Supercars series at Phillip Island. No surprise there. I'm a huge fan of Scotty (even though he's from New Zealand). But then I read on to learn this was an E-series and that Saint Stephen's College's most famous old boy was sitting in the comfort of his simulator at his Brisbane home. Readers, you know this couldn't be true even if you can watch the series on Fox Sports and Kayo. E-sports are just cartoons for the feeble minded.

Then I received a press release. It was from an Adelaide company that breathlessly announced: "Electric flying cars are a coming reality that will liberate our cities and answer the long-term mobility challenges we face." So, apart from the fact that all of this is a dream, there are three words here that have turned this into a nightmare. Electric. Flying. Cars.

Anyway, not only is Airspeed's founder, Matt Pearson, making electric flying cars, he is making red, 200km/h, 12m-long manned electric flying racing cars.

"We are motorsport in the sky," Matty says. "The sport promises to be the greatest modern sporting spectacle on the planet, with elite pilots propelled to speeds of 200km/h in the largest, most powerful octocopters on the planet." Octocopters?

But Matty is not only serious, he's got some serious money behind him. Matty reckons the EVTOL (Electrical Vertical Take Off and Landing) market will be worth $1.5 trillion by 2035.

"Final 'personned' tests of the Speeders are technically ready. These flights will take place in the desert, once restrictions relating to the global health crisis are lifted. First head-to-head dual races are planned to take place in late 2020," Matty says.

Cost? "We're initially targeting similar pricing to Formula-E vehicles — around the $1.7m mark," Matty tells me.

Now I realise that the most read part of any paper is the form guide. Given all the requests we get in the boiler room for what cars to buy, here's our review of the selections for the $100k Metal Guineas Stakes over the length of the warranty:

The Alpine: French, 185kw, quick 0 to 100km/h, looks like sex on wheels and drives better. Superior wet tracker. Rates highly in this field.

Ford Mustang R-Spec: you can never have too much muscle, individually numbered with crook colour selections. Ready for this trip now. One of the main chances.

Genesis G80: one day it will be the new Mercedes, a lot of gear for the price with an imitation Aston Martin badge.
