Remember, the recipe is always small, light car with big V8 engine. The Cobra was no leviathan when parked next to a Tiger.

Magnifique. So chic, so avant garde. This car is so uncoventional, so unorthodox, it defies the current logic of LMP1. While the design itself seems counter-intuitive, the creative mind of Ben Bowlby has other ideas in mind. In a way, the Nissan embodies the very spirit and essence of the Can Am series as well as IMSA…

Found these images over at Autosport:

Utterly fascinating. Given how narrow the monocoque is and given how the bodywork goes out to the edges of the tires, there will be a considerable amount of space there. Back in the IMSA days, this would have been put to use for ground effects.

Spot on!

I do watch WEC and I love it. But, F1 used to be about innovation. I do disagree with you on testing. Do you honestly think that have legions of computer programmers doing simulations is more cost effective than real testing? Real testing would bring about more parity between the teams. And, all the innovations that…

Yeah, you got that right. Innovation is a hated word in motorsports today. And, it is across the board. It is too bad because fans love to see engineering brilliance along with good racing. The formula as it stands as you so well put is that the big teams spend more and get richer while the middle and backmarker teams…

Sadly, sarcasm is a lost art these days. We live in an age where everyone is offended about everything. Heck, even on Jalopnik, there are people who get their nose out of joint because they did not take the time to read carefully and discern lampooning or satire. What is really hilarious is that many people often…

Oh, my stomach...

Even with the WWI Battleship camo, the car looks great as usual for Red Bull. I get nervous though with the caveats like Ferrari is doing as well. I hope this is not another Mercedes run away. F1 desperately needs good competition to not only keep existing fans happy, but also to entice new ones as well. Either…

Sky Sports does have great coverage, no doubt. They obviously spend much more time covering races and must also have a much larger budget to work with. There is nothing wrong with Leigh Diffey, David Hobbs, Steve Matchett and Will Buxton. I did much prefer Bob Varsha to Leigh Diffey however, and I find Will Buxton to…

Touche! Well played. Watching baseball is like watching paint dry. BORING and SLOW. Since the cars will be very slow in this section, this is a great analogy.

It is a shame because sometimes a particular corner embodies the character of a circuit. In the quest for safety, many great tracks have been neutered. Safety should always be paramount, but danger has always been an element of auto racing. Finding the right compromise is hard to do, however, this looks like a rush…

Well, Stef said it so I was basically quoting her.

My God, that Phantom looks so bitching in black paint. I have heard Phantoms and F14s during fly bys, but never the SR-71. As Tyler so aptly said, this is a "loud photo". Imagine being on the ground and watching them fly by.

Something that Marie Antoinette or Leona Helmsley would drive if they were alive. I can imagine pulling up next to either one of them in the Maybach SUV and having the window roll down. Out would come, "let them eat cake" or, "little people pay taxes".

Another reason to love Stef. She doesn't care about the Super Bowl and wishes a meteor would hit both teams. I have just question: Where was Stef when I was looking to get married? Seriously, a woman who oozes motorsports out of her pores and hates the Super Bowl. I don't know how you could improve on that.

A few years ago, Speed covered the race. They sent Mike Joy and Darrell Waltrip to cover the race. While the race was over the top cool, Darrell Waltrip's NASCAR voice ruined it. Boogity-Boogity or something like that.

Well, I must be the polar opposite of Ralph Lauren. I have a small, two car garage where I spend much of my time in the summer. [My own personal dog house for those who want to know]. There I spend quality time with my cars, waxing and caressing them. If I had ANY of RL's cars, I would hug it, kiss it and call it…

Honestly Kat, you sound more like a Conservative than a Social Democrat. Much of what you said are Conservative values. Mind you, I did not say Republican. If there is such a thing as a social Conservative, color me that.
