Love the photos of those LMP1 cars driven in anger! Also I think it’s time to check out the WEC’s streaming options for this weekend’s race.

I ’m more impressed you drove it in Virginia!

Is that smoke strictly tires or has something else been ruined?

Someday I will own a vehicle capable of such awesomeness. Snow banks and ditches will fear me!

I would track day bro that alllll day

The real reason I’m reading the comments is for the Rickyisms.

With the number of imported Japanese cars in the US (I’m guessing) increasing, does anyone make a plate adapter? I’m thinking a thin frame of aluminum that centers the holes properly.

I disagree. Short of the FSAE forums, Jalopnik probably has the highest number of FSAE alums as users of any other website.

Having gone to 3 different competitions with cars that didn’t really compete fully at any of them, I give you mad, mad props.

Where do Acura’s current offerings stand on the Jalop enthusiast-drive-o-meter? A friend of mine has an original TSX that seems like it moves really well and from some of the reviews out now it seems like their current vehicles have lost some of that magic.

Oh no question. But it does mean that the one I want is like $35k in Canada

2nd: Sadly the GTI never has sales because it’s always popular. Come on, people! Pick something else!

How much would you have made with a $25.5k sale?

+1 for the hockey stick hood strut

So Doug is there currently a “sweet spot” for used 911s right now? Is it possible to get anything acceptable at $40k?

That’s a pretty amazing looking venue, almost something out of Battlefield.

Mr. Defender 90 is a boss! That’s a great visualization of someone wrenching on their front drive shafts on the side of the road.

MotorTrend put a P1 and 918 around Laguna Seca with Randy Pobst and as far as I know that’s the closest anyone’s gotten to a real world comparison with numbers. The 918 was consistently 1.5 seconds faster despite McLaren switching tires constantly. I’d so love to be rich enough to buy a LaFerrari and then give the…

1st: lots of good comments about this one. Like others, I don’t think the desired operation is to stop the car immediately (you could be driving on a highway) but I do think the car should get angry at you as soon as you leave range. I’d much prefer to realize I’ve left the key in the house after leaving the driveway…

So does this mean they’ve solved that issue about the entire drivetrain exploding from the torque? I wonder how many launch control induced transmission replacements they’ll have to do? Either way, sounds like a fun way to get around a track
