I’m French, living in Auckland, 10,000 miles away.... I feel sick. I always felt quite safe in France, but now :/

I feel sick.... I'm 10,000 miles away... I can't believe what just happened.... Fuck!

Wasabi :)

It is aptly named Wasabi :)

Is your friend Jean Reno?

Man, how much trashing and tracktime has that black P1 seen? I know it has probably being rebuilt a couple times already, but damn if it isn’t a testament to the quality of the work done by McLaren!

Yeah, F1 basically use airplane brakes. (Well, almost, Safran, who manufactures brakes for some of the biggest planes, also makes carbon based brakes for some F1 team)

To be fair, Eco driving is really easy. It’s just two steps:

Exactly. I haven’t seen any cream based Pizza in New Zealand yet, and on top of that they have no choice, like 10 different crappy choices usually. I miss the 20+ choices I had back at my usual food truck back in France. Best choice in any case: the Tartiflette Pizza. And it is proof that two great things can make an…

They’re definitely not a the good side of the spectrum when it comes to quality (but so is Gawker), but they have published some good pieces of journalism. Not much, but they have. IIRC they had a pretty good coverage and analysis of the MH17 crash.

You can have almost the same thing for MUCH cheaper though*

Well Peugeot doesn’t have a proper “Peugeot Sport” team in World RX, but just a factory backed team with the Peugeot Hansen team, so might be a bit harder for them to just throw Loeb in there.

And Loeb has that thing where he manages more than good results every time he takes part in an event. FInished 2nd at Le Mans on his second time there (DNF the first time), had some great results in FIA GT when the car (McLaren) was working properly, not bad either in GT3 Cup, obliterated the competition at Pikes…

And looks like the marketing team at Peugeot completely lost it.

It really depends on the country. I got an IPD to come to NZ (French driving licence, and we get the IPD for free), but the basic thing they require is an approved translation of your driving licence, so as long as you have that, you’re golden. Apparently the U.S. is a bit different as it will only accept the IPD as a…

Silly. It’s so you can give the finger to the other pilots.

I love Ronin, but like, a 406 keeping up with a M5? I know its in the crowded streets of Paris, but still... Also the chase scenes would have been perfect, if it wasn’t for that weird CGI smoke they plastered upon the reversing Mercedes-Benz...

In soccer the “sport nationality” of the player is linked to the its actual nationnality. In rugby its a bit different. You either have to have the nationality of the country, or to have lived in said country for at least 3 years. That’s why we (France) have a bunch of players in the national team from countries other…

Yeah, Renault always has some weird-ass display. It was the same thing in Paris last October.

Wait. An M4 takes 7:53 to do a lap? It doesn’t seem that fast compared to a 7:54:++ made by the most recent edition of the Mégane RS.
