took me pretty long to find the right old forum gif
Here is the Yamaha OX99 engine in the Jordan Factory the day after the F1 race at Silverstone. I asked Eddie Jordan what the best thing about the unloved Yamaha engine was “It was free”
Look, racing movies nearly always suck as movies, but it’s better than no racing movies. Let’s not fall into the very-2018 trap of “any observations from an outsider of our narrow walled-off culture is an insult of the highest order”.
Dude, you totally missed he was chauferred by ex-F1 driver Kamui Kobayashi.
So, is it a horse or a bull?
While I’m no fan of the Wrangler or FCA, it’s bullshit a car’s safety rating is downgraded because it doesn’t have automous systems. A vehicle is not inherently less safe due to a lack of driver aids. Why? Because people fucking ignore them. Just last night someone cut me off while I saw their mirror flashing with the…

Even the most mundane looking cars start to look special…
The little FWD/AWD hot hatches that dominate rally are fun and all, but there is something ludicrous and joyful about RWD cars hanging their hindquarters out sideways on rally stages that makes me think that WRC/ARA need to give high-test RWD cars a place to play. Yes, the GT86 is in WRC3, but imagine Caymans and…
When the Porsche restorers at Singer Vehicle Design announced they were partnering with racing firm Williams…
There’s that old Gawker feeling.
