True, but it still is unlikely compared to other contemporary Group B cars. The 959 was a proper supercar after all, and not a wonderfully beefed up consumer hatchback. Add to that that Porsche was best known for 911 race cars and Le Mans prototypes at that time, and the 959 going to Dakar looks super unlikely,…

How about the german F40 rival gone Dakar racing?

My bad, I glanced over it and thought you wrote that this is the first Callum-Jaguar ever. Typical hangover performance from my side.

Wait, wasn't the XK the first car Ian Callum designed for Jaguar right after he left Aston Martin?

How about a solid, stunningly beautiful daily driver with room for 5 passengers and luggage?

Posted this before...

And Russians.

damn, I overread the Racing at Spa remark. I'm sure the GT1 and GT3 raced there though.

You can't think of any prominent racing Nissans?

Are the stories about the interior being super epic true?

It's unfair to compare any new car for that price to the Lancia because it's just so much cooler.

Oh come on, most Nascar drivers aren't handsome either, but who cares? I'd be a huge fan if she was fast and performing well, but she doesn't, and neither did Susie Wolff for example, dead last in every DTM race.

Which drivers does she finish in front of week after week? She has a Stewart/Haas Chevy after all, she should at least finish ahead of any RAB Toyota or XXXMotorsports car. It's just a fact that she doesn't perform as well as she should to really prove that she was hired because of talent and not because she's a great…

Sure, it isn't the best mannered thing, but in NASCAR team mate relations aren't as strict as in say Formula 1. Look at Hendrick Motorsport, they are a 4 car team with all 4 cars potentially fighting for the championship and wearing different colors and logos. I like that Harvick was honest, it also kinda takes some…

He was just honest and factual. Why should he protect Danica if she doesn't perform in NASCAR despite having a competitive car - because she's a woman? That's not the way to establish women in racing.

Context please.

You are right, Opel is seen as a boring, conservative brand. They can't shake the image created by cars like the Vectra B.

F1 Today is known to report the worst kind of rumours and claiming them to be true. Don't believe them.

Oh no doubt about that, I was just sure that the 4.5 also wasn't what one might call bulletproof, especially compared to a 250.

I heard the 4.5 also had its fair amount of issues.
