Just on a whim I watched the Monaco Grand Prix in 2013. Later that day I watched the Indy 500. I was hooked from there. At the time I had two kids under the age of four, so trying to follow along to anything on TV with dialogue was futile. I watched every race I could, pirated the F1 races to watch the next day. My…

As to enforcing it? Who knows how that will turn out... I gotta agree though, these cars look infinitely better than the current grid. Instantly I’m reminded of an Indycar- this could seriously pass as the next gen Dallara.

I have been fasting since March. Down from 190 lbs to about 172ish. I have been at 172 for a couple months now, it feels like my “natural weight.” I wake up at 6am eat lunch at 12:30. Then dinner somewhere between 6-7. So essentially I’m just skipping breakfast too. It works for me. I feel good and sleep better now.…

What he thought of realism? Didn’t they film Le Mans from an actual race car entered into the actual race?

I’m actually just reminded of a trip I took to Dollywood last week. It’s an amusement park with a good mix of old school wooden coasters and new tubular steel ones that go upside down. The old wooden one was actually alot scarier even though it was slower and did not go upside down. The new ones did loops and barrel…

Of all my in real life friends and family I am the only race fan. They make comments about me just watching for the crashes. I always have to explain that no, I don’t like it when they crash. I like to watch awesome cars that can compete with each other... There are a million reasons why racing fandom is not what it…

Your last line should be anything but Hass. He already drives for Haas. Sounds awesome, sounds fun. Never gonna happen.

My boy’s wicked smart!

I’m glad the drivers are probably safer, but this looks like hot garbage. Looks like Dusty Crophopper had a baby with Lightning McQueen.

You mean besides driving a KIA?

I remember seeing a Mariners-Rangers game there. The Ball Park at Arlington seemed brand new... that was just about 15 years ago! It was a great day. I saw Ichiro hit and Rapheal Palmeiro hit 3 home runs, including a Grand Slam. He was one of the greats of that time and doesn’t get his due...

I’ve always been a Ford/mustang guy, but those look sick!

About friggin time

Newgarden all the way. Rossi will put up a fight, maybe even finish ahead. But won’t score enough to points to overtake him for the championship.

Elizabeth- do any series use a rally style qualifying, where the cars start their own lap in 30 second to a minute intervals? This way the chance of laps getting wrecked due to other’s error is minimized, we still get to see the cars roaring in qualifying trim and pace. And the lack of a tow for everybody is a bit of…

This is definitely a blog/news aggregator. The articles are about 5% original reporting, 25% original/opinion pieces, and 70% news stories being retold from another blog or automotive news source. The crew at Jalopnik are bloggers/analysts, not reporters. Analysts are more entertaining than reporters. They can have…

Turbo is for your turbocharged lifestyle.

I see side by sides DAILY. I do not live in the desert terrain of the American Southwest. These are on the road, sitting in traffic. I can’t imagine the disconnect in expectation vs reality for the people who buy these things and never off-road them. 

I’ve been waiting all week for your post on this crash. After the Pocono crash you came out hard against the track. I was interested in your take on spa? As you said, this was a one in a million event. Spa/Eau Rouge/Raidillon is among the most challenging corners in racing. Still though, a corner that’s taken many…
