The Sierra didn’t exist in the United States. Further, IMSA rules leaned more toward tube-frame cars than to the homologated GT and touring cars of Europe.

That said, Ford did campaign the Merkur XR4Ti for a year, which was based on the Sierra, but it was a tube-frame car and was simply a rebodied tube frame of the…

The first time I as at the Simeone, my kids were under 10. They started up the Grand Sport inside the museum, and the noise scared the crap out of both of them.  They both were startled back a few feet. 

The demo days when they take various cars out for a spin in the parking lot are great. Highly recommended. Plus the…

making the bridge look like a bunch of piano keys when those of us not talented enough to actually play the piano slide our fingers across them for fun.

I’m pissed off at you because I hit you and damaged my car.

I almost said “meh, nothing special about this run!”

It’s like reading Car & Driver

“I’d like NASCAR if they raced on road courses, and used production-based cars, and had a few endurance races, and less overt patriotism.”

Sadly this kind of thing is being passed on to the current generation of fans as “good short track racing”. As someone that has been around short track racing my entire life of 32 years, I feel that I can safely say that it is not good short track racing.

If you put a big-ass hole in the nose of the car, where the fake grille is? You’d get air through there, especially with extractors at the rear of the hood, too.

Wherever they hold their first race, it should have a series of flowing corners named “the model esses.”

No, the CEO of a sport—one that has spent the better part of the last decade advertising its increasing inclusiveness—publicly endorsing the candidacy of a blatant sexist, racist and xenophobic demagogue is ridiculous.

Having done both, you’re racing the track in both disciplines. Perhaps moreso on an oval as the line gets rubbered in with much greater offline clag.

It’s mandatory for all GT cars so that they know if it is a Prototype or GT car behind them. Prototypes have mandatory white bulbs.

Pick up a used Logitech DFGT, man. I’m telling you, it’s worth it. Forza and Gran Turismo are games, but iRacing really is a sim much more than it is a game. And I think that’s most evident in the fact that, while the graphics are perfectly fine in iRacing, they’re nowhere near as good as they are in either of the…

I saw that a few years ago, I’ve shown it side-by-side with other cars lapping Road America and the people watching are blown away.

The best part about it is even with that high of a development cost, it’s still faster and cheaper than the DeltaWing.

Except iconic tracks aren’t protected. Monza probably won’t be there next year, we have no French or German GP (core countries for the sport, in terms of viewers and history), Suzuka has been dropped for a few years and so was Spa.

It’s almost like Bernie wants to screw the US again

it’s impressive how F1’s and Ecclestone’s % of profits are not even called into question. F1 is a money-losing proposition for all who host it.. and yet countries and communities are bending over backwards to build tracks and try. My very own birthtown of Monza, the O.G. of F1.. has now run out of money and not able…
