Live Stream Rally Portugal On now.

It's too bad that Ostberg rolled and I'm glad he's ok. I was looking foward to a good race between him and Ogier. Kubica is a beast! If only tyre and mechanical issues haven't gotten to him.

ELMS Live Stream Messy start the the race. It's raining and most teams started on slicks. American, Chris Dyson, just spun and hit the wall. Dang.

Found you. I also just figured out why you're into rallying. I believe it's in your Scandinavian blood:)

heh. Thanks. I was the one who sent Patrick G. the Mads winter jump when it happened. I pretty much follow every WRC driver with a Twitter account. If you want, post your twitter link and I'll find you. I'm @McNewbie1 on Twitter. I'm more active there than here. My feed is both motorsports, including bikes and auto…

Not on tv, the Fafe Rally Sprint in Portugal is this weekend. Some of the most iconic images from WRC come from the famous Fafe jump. On average, drivers leap approximately 50 meters. The record holds at 73.5 metres, by Armin Schwarz’s Skoda Octavia in 2000. That’s double any jump a driver has made over the equally…

If you're going to nap, now's would be the time. Still FCY for fog. Hopefully lifting soon. IIRC, for one other 24H race, you fell asleep for a few, (needed and deserved), hours of sleep.

To quote Tony J. from last night,"Oh, it was a Porsche Panamera, carry on." Heh.

It took SCORE awhile, but they made the right call. I believe the video came from another team who handed it over to Baldwin. There were rumors flying during the 1000 that Vildosola Jr. wasn't "on track." No one had specifics though. Dirt News went in depth with the specific rules and what Vildosola violated. IIRC,…

Agreed. You can get great deals and sort of pick your ride. I've done NY-Cali in a rental, a trip up the Cali. coast in a convertible Jag., and beat the shit out of a Taurus rental with zero guilt since it was an old rental POS already. (It might have seen part of a cornfield).

Just checked on Plant Robby's forum. Sounds like Gordon will make an announcement regarding his Dakar entry next week. I can't imagine him nit doing it. Also, much bashing on the forum regarding Nasser and Sainz. Nasser "drives too hard for a buggy and the thing won't make it." Sainz "doesn't have the mental strength…

Yes The Qatari of Cool and Carlos are a team. Qatar and Red Bull teamed up to design a sort of concept buggy. This is a video Red Bull released two days ago that gives you a good idea about the design.

Really interesting article on the future of electric cars. It's a quick read written about students dropping from EV and Alt fuel programs. I had no idea it was so costly to work on these cars.

Who knows what he would have accomplished if he had lived longer. Richard Burns should definitely be on the top ten list.

4th Gear. Nothing like a gas soaked pant leg while on a bike. Holy crap. I thought roasting up in a Ferrari was scary. Sounds like there will be a recall and the fix should be fairly easy.

Sad. One day after winning the Nationwide Most Popular Driver award, she announces this.

Oh so true. As much as I love German metal, I'd probably go for van living somewhere down by the river. View+space.

Awesome how Jalopnik NASCAR fans aren't complaining about spoilers. Several of us are F1 and other motorsports fans also. Thanks, Jalopnik, for increasing your coverage of motorsports and good job covering the big races this weekend.
