Oh certainly, after you, what garage of wonders do you own?

Ferrari is the Donald Trump of the automotive world. Decades ago, was a household name connected with wealth and perfection, but over the years have become soft, greedy, and talk a big game till they’re called out. They say the’re the best and greatest until you begin fact checking stat for stat with what they’re…
Kat, in December I’m going to Taiwan (wife’s home country) and Japan. I’m always the designated driver in international trips. Besides sitting, and driving on the right ( used to roll around a right hand drive Neon at the local Tech school) anything that may be a huge hurdle when driving there? Also, hows traffic in…
My favorite part is really everything. The history, the energy, it’s what made me go in 2014. Porsche was coming back, and the place was electrifying. I remember Porsche taking the lead in the morning, and the grand stands went ape shit while cheering and jeering the Audi’s with bad turbos. Sadly, when Porsche was…
Same here. My feet are too damn wide to be swinging around, so I just slide it over, but when I have room, I’m a Toe-Heel person, just cant twist my foot like that
By all accounts yea it was basically a prototype in sheeps clothing, and began the death waltz for the BPR series, but Mercedes was the one that brought the hammer and nail for the coffin with the CLK-GTR. It was also the first (and so far to date) the only mid engined 911. Infact, after Porsche unveiled it, their…
W.O. Bentley hated the blower Bentley’s, but was forced to make them, and he was right because they were very prone to breaking down.
But by logic, the Ford GT40 was a race car first, and only having 7 road purpose cars built. Infact, the first Gulf GT40 was a car originally ordered for road use, for who? A big wig for Gulf oil. At Daytona the lights were getting dim and was losing power. Here, someone accidentally touched a switch that turned on…
Just gonna throw my buzzkill opinion in here, but the F1 was not the last road going car to win Le Mans, that award goes to the Porsche 911 GT1 in 98'.
I would fly out to California just to attend that. Probably while sporting my Christmas vacation “Merry Christmas, Shitter’s Full” shirt and 2x sizesweat pants.
Jason, I heard you speak about this article on Free Beer & Hotwings, and I’ll agree to have it on production cars, but only if you agree it should be taken off of race cars, and have their downforce reduced in a way to stop producing so much dirty air tat prevents cars from drafting/passing.
That very flag she’s holding? If not, take a chill pill. I thank your father for his bravery, but it’s not that serious. She isn’t stomping on it, burning it, or hanging it upside down, and your father fought for the very right for her to do what she did, which is freedom, in particular, speech and expression.
After seeing Nasr/Erickson at Monaco and their hair pulling match in the corner, and Rossi proving himself, Sauber might want to think about dropping one of those morons, and Bring Rossi aboard. That or Haas might take notice and make him a test driver/ second seat next year.
Christ, how many commercial breaks do they need to go to? Like every damn 5 laps.
That would be 07 my good friend. My first year out at Laguna. My fathers company was under contract with general racing to assemble the Rolex Moments in Time museum. We were also responsible for the Indy tent, so we were there for two weeks getting it all set up. We also set up in Lime Rock, but with General Racing…
I star you for the sole purpose of knowing you enjoy Fieros, I do too, sadly have a badrap #fierosneedlovintoo
F1 died a little before that, when dictating how many cylinders you can have, and even before that when they banned the option of forced induction (though it did rediculous in a matter of 5 years)
In 93' the downforce wasn’t as prevalent, so a wake off of them unsettling the car wasn’tvas important as today. They had fatter tires, and were about 15mph slower lap average, with a lot of that speed regained on the straight. 15 mph average may not sound like a lot, but to a professional driver that gives them a lot…
Ask the F1 guys when skirts were banned and made a minimum 6cm rule. The cars became so much slower, and lost about 70% or their downforce by doing so. Aero is everything anymore. You can have 1000hp, but if the car can’t stick it’s almost pointless. Shame people like you and me can’t get the point across to IMS and…
It’s questionable. The cars are a lot tougher then days past, a lot of aero clading, which these guys relax on worrying about tangling up in each others tires. I see them trying last ditch effort passes , and blocking in a way that would make Takuma Satos crash in 2012 look like a spin out of put road. On the positive…
