I flew out to see that race a few times! My fav spot was just at the beginning of the long straight (after the hairpin that slowed cars to a relative crawl), because you could really get a sense of the incredible acceleration of the cars as they went up through their gears.
Are some commentors going to make more poo-faced comments that Jalopnik never writes about F1, but is now only writing negative stories about this race?
It’s like how the news only bothers to report on airplane flights that crash and burn, huh?
I saw my first F1 race at Silverstone back in 1987. The ticket was so cheap I don’t even remember - as a poor teenager! - how much it cost. I could walk around the track and eventually found an amazing view at the end of a straight where plenty of late-braking and overtaking happened...also gave a great sense of the…
In some other far away time, this would kiss off every single blue-collar Joe from ever voting ‘R’ again.
My GF worked in various casinos on The Strip for about 10 years, and when I read her this article, she was just shaking her head and saying, “Yup...”
Chris Pratt’s recent social media post concerning his deep thoughts on Veterans Day got a glowing bump by Fox News, so he’s definitely got THAT going for him.
Please, please, name another ~$100,000 sedan that loses 40% of its value in one or two years.
Boo... I thought a list like this would at least include cruising speeds, which can vary so incredibly much as compared to top speeds, but no.
A Miata does not belong on this list. A Toyota Solara convertible on the other hand? Yes.
Please, in the future, warnings if that disgusting Clarkson flesh-puppet is in a video.
Even that header image looks lifeless, dour, and AI generated.
What is it with all of these car Youtubers, etc. standing there with their hands spread out, like Oprah Winfrey? Gaze, ye, upon my vast kingdom?
I missed so much of the 2000's era music scene that many of these picks seem like they came from an alternate universe.
Pick up just about any random Porsche enthusiast magazine and you’ll find some article covering a 1978-94 (or thereabouts) model that has covered 400,000 miles, and hasn’t even had its valve guides done... About the only thing that regularly breaks are the electric window switches (I keep replacements in the glove…
Cool. Late-stage capitalism - Let’s throw money at people because they had a hit 10 years ago (in a completely different situation) and hope that lightning strikes again, because actually doing the development work ourselves, which is supposed to be our core competency, is just impossible.
The tall blonde woman in the remake is pretty.
I have a Born-Again neighbor, whom I greeted one day with “Hola.”
The first installment vastly underperformed according to expectations, didn’t it? Even with all of the free marketing hype and actual marketing dollars thrown at these things, I think a lot of us are just exhausted with Mr. Cruise / breathless-paint-by-numbers-McGuffin stories. That well is starting to run dry.
