According to the people watching closely (including the drivers in other teams), the Fords suddenly went 4 seconds faster in qualifying than they had been running in free practice and at the test day 2 weeks ago. It was very clear that things were going on at the test day, as all 4 Ford GTs were lapping within 0.07

Good work, Dale!

I clearly picked the wrong picture. I couldn’t figure out why it didn’t look quite right. What a mess. Sorry for offending your eyeballs.

I knew there was something wrong with my picture!

A discussion about the aesthetic merits of the Maserati Khamsin is incomplete without acknowledgement of it’s glass rear panel.

xactly!

I usually blame my fingers being too fat for my phone. I’m lucky that I’m currently connected via a big computer with a keyboard and stuff.

It’s the thought that counts. ;)

That’s just how I role, hombre.

Reverse? History.com should stick to more significant details than the identity of cars used in movie chase sequences. That’s not a Mini Cooper. It’s a 1989 Mini Mayfair. Amateurs...

My thoughts exactly, although I would have used more punctuation.

E-Type? More like a pontoon-fendered Testarossa:

Wow, is that a Mahindra?

I had no idea someone had done this to a defenceless Rialto. It looks amazing. However, I’m disappointed that the US marketing guys didn’t go full Patriot to distance it further from a silly little car made in a factory in Tamworth whose production line is divided by a main road.

British TV covering the IoM TT races showed a similar thing last night, but the sole passenger was Steve Plater, a former motorcycle TT winner who still holds the record for fastest sector time on part of the course.

You confused me with your Red Arrows crash. Were you thinking of the Russian Knights?

Based on the videos in the article and comment thread, I use the same technique as Walter Rohrl and Ayrton Senna. Not necessarily the right amount at the right time, but the intention is there...

I once drove a diesel version of these things in the UK, and couldn’t believe how slow it was. Then I nearly crashed on the first corner due to the monumental levels of understeer it suffered from. It was a total heap, and it was new at the time!
