I will NOT give you flak for that take. I honestly think many will say slow-car fast is a great way to go.

I know this is an “enthusiast” website and I’m going to get some heat for this but.....

Very impressive. I want to see Formula E continue to grow and expand, but just leave off any gimmicky stuff. 

Want people to care about sportscar racing?  Race cars like this.  All protos should be based on production cars.

You had me at ‘Phil Hill’.

My uncle lent me his copy of “Champion Year” by Mike Hawthorne which is his account of his winning F1 season (my uncle being old enough to have been following F1 back in that period). I’ve always thought it was a good job Mike got it finished quick as because didn’t live much past the end of it!

This is mostly true, but also kind of demonstrates the situation we are in culturally.  There are very few people who actually need a six seat luxury sedan that also tows 13,000 pounds.  Lots of people are buying them to fit in.  I’m not going to tell them to stop, but I do wish people would stop for a minute and…

1st and Neutral: Pickup trucks are the only car segment left where people actually WANT to buy them. They’re the last of the car guys cars. Look at how emotional people get over their trucks.

The best thing you can eat in Detroit isn’t some artisanal doughnut or vegetable carpaccio or pork belly sliders—it’s a freakishly good $3.38 egg roll filled with corned beef and cheese

Your feet as the crumple zones are the LEAST of your worries driving this thing. Other safety concerns that one should consider before driving a 917:

The most impressive thing about Chuck is that he managed to break the sound barrier while the X-1 was dragging the weight of his enormous balls.

Everywhere we need to go by air is served by Southwest...couldn’t be happier.

The cars are “weak” at road courses. The NASCAR racers have the classic fish-out-of-water problem. Their overall design is for stability at high speed. Within the limits of NASCAR’s rules, they’re competently engineered, but they are still too big and too heavy to execute the kind of quick transients road racing…

Then you need to be watching the Aussie V8 series - which is all you described minus the boring oval races. Plus driver changes and brake changes like Le Mans (at least for the Enduro part of the season).

The Australian supercars series comes to mind; most entertaining racing I’ve seen aside from maybe goodwood revival.

Frankly, I'm not so sure clinching the WDC will make a difference. I love Hamilton, but his ego is fragile enough that he may demand pride of place regardless.

Renault Clio Williams.

Other than looking cool drifting is the slowest method to drive around a road course. I bet someone in a Honda Odyssey could beat his “drift” time just driving normal.

Ahh. The world of buying rare performance cars that appreciate. This is a world I will likely never know.

Alpeen makes cars. Alpine makes stereos.
