Looks like silly fun, but there are clearly far more suitable vehicles for track work...

Yes, of course. 9th place is the best possible result if they all finish. The Nissan’s reliability in the heat of the battle is completely unproven, so barring accidents they are the least likely of all the LMP1-H cars to make it to the finish regardless.

Race circuits require skill on the part of the participants. Only a small percentage of Gumballers have acquired this “skill”, so it would be a good way to weed them out. They should run the event between circuits, reducing their number every time by on-track natural selection and obeying the speed limits on the…

Excellent work, Germany. Sounds like a lot of sensible suggestions to minimise the risk to the general public of a large number of rich douchebags behaving as such.

When the time comes, they will be here:

True dat.

So unfair. The ZEOD RC lasted 5 laps...

“A wastegate malfunction during qualifying also made the R90C have up to 1100 bhp (over its usual 1000!) as well.”

As you know, James Gibson nailed this a few months ago. Since then, Andy Blackmore (the Spotters Guides dude) has worked with Nissan to work out how to apply it. I think it’s fantastic.

Also, Diahrrea.

Boom. Hello ladies...

It’s the SCG003, Glickenhaus’ own creation. It raced at the Nürburgring 24 hours and is currently cruising around Turin. The Lamborghini Venevo is a bit more silly and a lot less racecar.

Awesome stuff. I stumbled across one of the Jaguar D-Types in Edinburgh just before it went off for it’s pre-Mille Miglia familiarisation in the Highlands (if you go far enough North, the roads in Scotland are roughly analogous to some of those in Italy). It makes for quite a sight in a narrow cobbled street when it’s…

psst. That’s a 147, not a 156. 156 is a sedan. It’s OK, only the European Jalops would have noticed. Your secret is safe with me.

Compare this image with the one of Karl Lagerfeld and tell me who you’d rather spend time with. The clothes are just there to prevent old man nakedness. The cars are what matters.

Impressive collection, but IMHO over-restored. Very beautiful, but a lot of the history is lost when he takes a car to his idea of “perfection”.

This is the correct answer.

As you may know, there is/was a microcar segment in Japan below the Kei car, where the cars are less than 50cc in capacity and even tinier than their European equivalents. Not sure if they make them any more, though.
