Not even this, very well made, trailer can redeem the steaming mess Episode 2 is. The only thing that is worse than that movie, is my fear that in 10 years time, after the reign of JJ Abrams we’ll turn around and say “Episode 2 was at least one of the better Star Wars movies”.

Sounds great, but not enough V10 ☺

I’ll miss the old analog clocks, especially the tachometer. Hope iRacing will keep them a while longer, the needle (and the way it twitches) is one of the best engine health indicators in long (read real NASCAR distance) races, no idea if one could still do it with a digital. And YES it loses a lot of its flair with a…

Fair play for the effort, the one thing that the game won’t be able to teach you though is the “feel”. The moemnt the clutch starts to bite, the shutter in the car when you know you got it “right” and roll off.But that’ll come.
Along with hillstarts. Pro-Tip: Handbrake is your friend (so your feet can concentrate on…

Sprint cars look like some of the most fun you can have on 4(ish) wheels with your pants on.

Alex looks so tiny in the 911! Made me crack up. No disprespect, Alex is one of the most talented motojournos in Britain today, love his work and style!

Thank you for this article.
I tested the safety of my helmet a few years ago and from experience I can’t stress enough on how important the right selection (i.e. how the thing fits on your noggin) is for a helmet. Forget brands, buy for fit. Very good article, must read for anyone wanting to know about helmets.

iRacing physics are real!

Then you’ll be happy to hear that some european budget airlines have started charging for cabin luggage. And it’s about the same amount as for check luggage, it may way less, be smaller than before and the one piece rule is STRICTLY enforced. And cameras and Laptops etc count in as well, while they still won’t insure…

Could you make some sort of recording of this talk, for all of us who can’t attend (due to being stuck on another continent)? That’d be so great!

More talk about one of the best (automotive) action movies ever made, quintessential popcorn cinema is always good!

This is the kind of thing F1 gets wrong and NASCAR and WEC get right. Team orders are simply unattractive for the audience and detrimental to the sport on track. Motorsport is a team affair by and in large, but the one difference the driver makes is how fast he can get whatever vehicle he/she is racing to go around…

My motorbike does that after I give her room to stretch her legs, particularly on a cold day. It’s a result of the fuel mapping going to full rich below 18C degrees (and thats often the case here), so its “natural”. But she doesn’t always and she won’t ever do it sitting idle. This sounds so fake and cheap, like…

There is a reason when drivers say “The team won that race” or “The team did a great job”. Yes he is the one everyone sees drivnig fast around the track. But he couldn’t do that as well if he was a hot, sweaty dehydrated mess all week long. /salute to all team members who make racing possible. Every single one of you…

As far as I understand (and i’m no expert on the matter, i just read up on it out of a similar conversation ages ago) There are subtle differences between “real” Kersosene, Jet-a Fuel (or Diesel #1 as its known) and Diesel (or Diesel #2). They are all very closely related chemically (but not the same), but the…

It’s just money. In the end the insurance will pay for whatever stuff is lost.

I agree. Once again a demonstration of true aviation professionals (that includes all ground personnel) at work.

Bentley GT3, fastest block of flats on the market.

Honestly, why do we still report on this series? F1 is becoming mroe and more irrelevant as part of motorsport every year and it’s time we let it slide into memory.

Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond and TLD my favorite Bond movie.

You’re wrong, because you don’t bike.
It’s not that you heard better ahead of you, it’s that you are heard better NEXT to you and don’t get side swiped by people who don’t know the terms “shoulder check” or “rear view mirror”.
