About the same; Tues at 9EST and Sun at 8:30EST. Flag absolutely drops at that time (unless someone notifies in advance, then we'll wait a short amount). We open the lounge about an hour early for late testing / QP. We enforce real life race rules. Accidents happen, but take outs result in post-race penalties. …

Absofreakinlutely it's an infringement upon all 18 innocents' rights. Learn this, people:

And I administer the Formula J series, Jalopnik's own serious GT5 racing. [becauseracecar.com]

Of course Jalopnik favorite, Will Power.

Same as here. If you're into GT5, you should join our informal Jalopnik league. We race on Sunday night and Tuesday night. [becauseracecar.com] (requires approval to sign in, so PM me your user name and I'll get the admin to activate you)

"The basic premise is you're attending a festival, and your goal is to become King of the festival by gathering fans. You do that by winning races, risky driving, stunts, special challenges and events."

Yeah, GT5 already has real time and changeable weather on most of the major tracks. And if that above screen cap is real, they better work a lot harder on the transitions - GT5's are stunning and realistic - if Forza just turns the whole world orange at "sunset," they've missed the mark a bit.

Actually, you're right. I can't tell you how many people I talked to who said "I wish these tickets had been 3x as expensive for the same thing!"

Nah, MotoGP isn't run by a money grubbing troll, so sanctioning fees are several exponents less, meaning the tracks can make both a solid profit and create an awesome atmosphere without robbing their fans to pay the uber rich.

Laguna Seca sold out the first three years (maybe it still does, I just don't have info). Let me be clear: General Admission sold out. As in, there were so many people in roving heards they couldn't possibly fit more in, so they stopped selling tickets for fear of stampedes.

If you pay six figures and furnish a Gulfstream to fly me back and forth from the real world, I'm in.

Private security team: $5,000.

Aside from the amazing amount of bullcrap circulating around this race, and presuming it actually happens, man am I glad I decided not to attend. After the race was cancelled, then not, then moved, then cancelled, then not for the second time, I decided I wasn't about to bet $1,000+ dollars of travel expenses and…

True story: I once passed a Bentley Continental GT in Talladega, Alabama. But he was over 30mi away from the famous track, on a backroad, and it wasn't around the race. And he wasn't waiting around- all I recall is thinking "Is that a... YES, that's a... ::woosh::" and it was gone. I have no idea what the hell it…

This is starting to sound like GM has an actual engineering problem here. Or, more likely, an electronics issue that is set with triggering variables that are WAY too low. That car is on street rubber, as were the two Camaros posted below. So we're not even talking about modified cars with suspension/rubber that…

You just need them to knock into your forehead when you go to get in.

Most of these are lame excuses. You can ride bikes through conditions that would stop a car (and most road-legal trucks) in less than 3 ft.

Replying to promote and to add that by Federal law, motorcycles are legal at all times in HOV lanes throughout the US!

Bahrain protests for freedom and civil rights. Canadians protest because they have to pay a ridiculously small amount of money for (optional!) college education. Oh how the world shall cry for thee, O Canada.

I've seen Peter Orosz describe something as "a chode." My day is complete.
