Watch the Laguna race, the GT’s and the 488's were hooked up, whereas BMW and Corvette had the pace in the earlier rounds, which were not run with the Le Mans tire.

It is the tires. Michelin used their Le Mans compound at the last IMSA race Laguna, and the Ford and the Ferrari had the pace. Apparently these tires benefit the mid engine layout. It will be about the durability in the end, never bet against Pratt and miller...

I obviously love the battles for position, and the beautiful track, but there is just something special about Le Mans. Perhaps it is the mix of exhaustion and exhilaration that the teams have, or the platitudes of the rotation of announcers, or the hypnosis of the cars funneling through the Porsche curves, and seeing…

That’s one ugly shift lever too... nothing says German luxury like a shift lever lifted from a Dodge Charger. I was really in love with the idea of getting an A3. Such a nice little car, would have been perfect. I tested one and liked it, then the sales bro was telling me about his brand new S4, and how it had real…

They should have called it the SHO. Regardless, it fills a niche that I was looking for when I was car shopping. A nice awd sedan with decent performance. Seems like a better option than a Regal GS or a Chrysler 200S, but I think it will contend more with cars like the Acura TLX than the Germans.

Unpopular opinion, but I like my Infiniti Q50. Big V6, plenty of legroom front and back, nice tech features, rear or all wheel drive, handsome exterior. All of this, and you can lease one for a few bucks more than a loaded Camry. A sporty luxury car for the every man.

Nissan will still sell you a last gen Rogue alongside the newer slightly different Rogue, talk about volume seller. Theyou throw a ton of money on the windshield to try to be Toyota, it just seems like a better play to aspire to be like Subaru. Subaru has a solid identity, do not have to give away cars, and the owners…

The split killed the sport, it is now a zombie series with a niche audience. There are races at Indy, Road America, and Long Beach, drivers like Montoya, Bourdais, and Power, and the new cars are relatively fast. I was a big Cart fan, and nothing will ever compare with all the money was spent at the peak, but this…

Imo this design language only translates well on the A3. Stretching it out on the bigger models just looks awkward. Then again I think there is something a little off about every car in the luxury sedan with two doors cut off segment.

Does it have super light numb steering? If you closed your eyes and touched the switch gear, do you feel like you are in a rental Sonata? Do you have an overall feeling of this is nice for the money, or simply that it is nice?

I like the kid, and it was a huge win, but this is a bit much. The difference between Rossi and Hildebrand? Turn 4, lap 200. That is the difference between the “next American Racing hero” and a journeyman who is able to fund an annual Indy one off.

Great run down, but you kind of need to tell the people the right channel. The race is (unfortunately) on ABC.

Mansell in 94' raced for Newman/Haas, and finished out the season at Williams, winning his last race at Adelaide that year.

I couldn’t tell a good foto from a GREAT foto, I wasn’t into it for that... it had the words, all the great words, they were beautiful words.

Hey Alex, can you comment about how bad the turbulence is on lap 1, turn 1? I can imagine the car not wanting to turn at all with all that dirty air.

Nothing says hillbilly like a big old bottle of milk, some Jim Nabors, and the snake pit. The locals lionize this shit like there is no tomorrow.

Just allow another chassis manufacturer and another engine supplier and you are all set. You wouldn’t have to worry about stupid aero kits or running out of engines or cars. In the old days, fields were filled out by older cars and engines, you need a better secondary market of equipment sometimes. The field is tight…

More like beaten up Civic with a bumper diaper and a club on the steering wheel.

I need to replace my family car next year, take my money.
