It’s not Alpine. The subtitle says “Spa”, and I guess they’re both in the Eifel. The Nurburgring is pretty much at the top of the Ahr Valley.

Because clickbait and polarization is how politics in the US operates now.

Ban Cars doesn’t mean ban cars.

If you need multiple pages to explain the title, i think it’s fair feedback that maybe rewording the title is more efficient.

Counterpoint, by using the label “ban cars” all you’re doing is enraging the folks who need them and/or enjoy them, and often immediately putting them in a defensive position and creating an us vs them mentality, which we already have an overabundance of in the modern era. Most folks won’t be willing to listen to this…

Why is it that movements like this pick short, inflammatory names to only end up spending so much of their time saying “There’s so much more nuance than our name suggests!” I swear, it’s like some people actually WANT to hand their opponents an excuse to casually dismiss them

as one of the original editors of the ORIGINAL Top Gear USA pilot, I can say that Adam Carolla would’ve been great (his obnoxious politics aside). NBC fucked up massively by passing on the pilot. its been a long and frustrating legacy in the past 14 years with all the versions, reboots, re-casting, etc...

This is a simple fix. Have one or two examples of a vehicle for test drives and viewing. And have a place where boomers can sit down with someone and order the vehicle the want.

To be fair, you as a Jalopnik commenter might not be the typical car buyer.

Seriously, 40 grand to get a 1% improvement in time when driven by a professional driver. Reminds me of my coworker who bragged about the carbon fiber cranks on his bicycle saving ounces when he was 50lbs overweight.

I remember being very skeptical when I first heard about GT back in ‘98. With so many tracks and SOOOOO many cars, surely they had to have cut corners in the physics and graphics, and it would be like playing “Cruisin’ USA” with a bunch of different skins on cars that all drove the same. Then it was released, and a…

Youtube videos showing people riding in the back seats of their self-driving cars should be met with derision and shame criminal charges rather than the fan-boy response they seem to get instead.

I can state without any hesitation that I would never, ever buy a car with even ONE of these features installed. 

Yeah, so much for all the “it never explodes like that in real life” Mythbusters.  Sorry to have ever doubted you, Michael Bay.  

Why should a Formula 1 commentator be familiar with a college basketball player? Or an NFL quarterback for that matter? Martin knew more about either of those people than I did. I’d much rather he talk to, like, one of the Williams mechanics that are hanging around than any of the seat-filling celebrities that are…

Yeah, based on my few visits to Miami, “a little tacky” would be significantly less tacky than the baseline level of tacky in Miami.

Citing a hollywood racing movie, a work of fiction, from the 1960's is not a compelling argument that F1 has drama. That said, of course it does. F1 only makes sense when you understand the stories behind what is happening on the track. I remember standing up and screaming at my television when Sato, in the Super…

Your argument seems to miss the fact that F1 was interested in garnering new fans, not ones that were already interested. 

There’s a big reason for that:

Lewis spent the entire weekend turning into 2020 Vettel, with his car not being a contender seemingly ruining his motivation and a young teammate with recent backmarker experience getting much stronger results. This will be an interesting storyline to follow.
