We had another one right near the end of Cronk-y-Voddy today. I was watching from The Mitre at Kirk Michael and and it happened in the Superstock before he even got round to us on lap one. Gutted for his family but everyone involved knows what comes with racing here. It really is a chance to live the way very few…

Wrong assessment. He shouldn’t have gone whipping as fast as he thought possible (that is, faster than he could safely judge the road). By the time he started thinking about ‘oh what do I do now’ he was already committed to going too fast into too tight of a corner. That is, he was fucked. The unfixable mistake was…
Can you hear that? It’s the sound of everyone who payed too much for a 911 R crying.
*cough*
I know this isn’t a fake mod but I cringe every time I see these stickers

Porsche going through their archives and showing off their rarest stuff? Yes please.
As the Squirrel said, on loose surface applying brake while holding the throttle can have a very dramatic effect on the car, creating sharp turn-in/oversteer.
Jalopnik has turned into a giant anti trump political circlejerk. I didn’t realize a car related website could take such a quick nosedive into hoseshit reporting.
Somewhere in the multiverse, there is an Earth where the WRC has both a 2-liter class as well as a 1.6-liter class. It’s a world where Colin McRae and Richard Burns are alive and racing against Sebastien Loeb and Tommi Makinen and Jari-Matti Latvala. A place where Peugeot, Citroen, Skoda, Hyundai, Suzuki, Subaru,…

If you have an SUV or AWD vehicle, understand that the laws of physics are repealed around your vehicle. Drive as fast as you want - hell, drive faster than you want.
