You must have been hanging out with the wrong people. Growing up I always bemoaned the fact that we couldn't get any new American RWD cars. Only the Germans were keeping us from total annihilation. That's why I enjoyed my first car so much, a 1995 Ford Thunderbird.

Series in the US (NASCAR and Grand-Am) don't answer to FIA. They answer to ACCUS (Automobile Competition Committee for the United States). ACCUS is an FIA "partner" but they do whatever they like. A tube framed car isn't up to FIA safety standards and most likely wouldn't be admitted into an FIA-sanctioned race, but

Wayne Taylor says at the outset that is has a 50-50 shot at happening. It's just going to be another in the long line of US teams that get an invite not to go. Of course, if Minolta pays for it, they'll do it. If it does happen, it will be Ricky Taylor in some ELMS team's car and they'll call it Wayne Taylor by Some

If you're suggesting a P1 car would be threatened in the slightest by a DP, you're horribly mistaken.

Gotta keep the DPs ahead somehow. Having Hoosier/Continental only make a DP is that way.

That's what happens when the series gives a bunch of HP and downforce to the DPs while adding weight to P2s, and also ordering tire manufacturer Continental to only make a tire that suits DPs, thereby taking away handling from the P2s as well. This is what happened in the offseason between 2013 and 2014. The DPs

I had a 2007 Speed3. It was the best car I've ever owned, and you got so much performance for so little.

Hey, a much better looking Mazdaspeed3!

Seems like a recipe for failure.

10 P2 cars in ALMS/TUSC! Every year people come out of the woodwork, saying they're going to run a P2 car in the US. It never happens.

The '04 VW Passat W8(!!!!) 4-motion wagon or sedan. They used it in commercials for the Passat, but as far as I know, I've never seen one.

The best part is at 2:30 when the driver flips on the wipers to clear a shattered windscreen.

Urea (pee) in diesel exhaust systems.

I still don't know why Australians haven't learned to cut audio on slow motion replays. Every time I see a V8SC race I have to endure WWWWWOOOOOORRRRRR during every slow mo replay. It's maddening.

It will always be a Sebring. 20 years of making that massive piece of shit have repercussions. People don't just forget massive awfulness.

I don't think I'd buy a Chrysler 200 no matter what the terms are. It's still a Sebring.

Remember folks, Caterham is asking the internet public for $3.5 mil so they can collect $10 mil in prize money.

I saw a 2000s Mustang in Europe with auxiliary reverse lights under the rear bumper. They used the standard reverse light position for indicators.

The taillights look like they came from an Explorer.

That's it!
