It exists, sort of. It’s called the Trans Am Series.

Michael Schumacher’s win in Spain in 1996. Blew the dominant Williams cars away. 

Truly special. I think we’ll never see anything like that ever again.

I hear you. I wanted to do the same thing last year when I was shopping for a car, and I would’ve bought one of the new Ford STs if either one of them had come stateside, but I thought it rather pointless to buy a “new” FiST or FoST that’s been essentially unchanged for its entire run in the States (except the Focus…

Which genre would a band with that name fall into? Metal, perhaps?

Such a memorable race, in part because of the action and the outcome, but also because the 2005 season was perhaps the worst season for overtaking in the past 40 years (rock hard tires and higher front wings were never going to lead to good racing, but of course that wasn’t the point of the rules changes), so this…

That’s right. IIRC a stunt driver missed his mark when Halicki was to swerve across the freeway to the exit, thus spinning him into the pole.

The chase in the original Gone in 60 seconds was shot in a similar fashion, if I’m not mistaken.

Me and my overactive imagination REALLY didn’t need to see that comment. 😂

That’s almost as much as my Fiesta ST but it has nearly 4x the power.

I never forgot the One-77. To me it’s one of the sexiest cars they ever made.

A few years ago, I was passing a gas station and saw a GTR leaving from it. I was going about 45 and was almost even with it as it was pulling onto the street before I heard this LOUD ASS ROAR and saw it take off into the distance faster than anything I’ve ever seen.

Amazing, isn’t it? Sort of reminds of how Hitler escaped AT LEAST 42 attempts on his life before he took it himself. Evil fuckers just seem to live and live and live.

I truly believe there is no limit to how many horses can die there before the owners decide they’ll take the issue seriously. It will be 50 deaths before the end of the year, I’m sure.

It wasn’t thanks to pit priority. It was Ferrari executing the driver switch themselves. Vettel probably getting LeClerc back for Monza qualifying? Maybe. Who knows. He did it to Webber before as payback for Webber ignoring orders, so there is precedent for this behavior.

The NISMO YouTube channel was streaming them last time I checked.

I haven’t been a fan of this “selection process” from the start, but ESPECIALLY since the story about Ford’s own racing drivers having to apply to buy the car.

I agree. It’s pretty simple, really.

Someone on here referred to Pastor Maldonado as “caveman fast”, for obvious reasons.

This is pretty much where I’m at, too. I haven’t rooted for a team or driver since Schumacher retired.
