I hope none of this discourages Jann Mardenborough from racing in the future. I have competed in the initial rounds of the online GT Academy myself, so for me Jann has been living the dream that I and other GT Academy challengers aspire towards. To come through GT Academy, land some awesome rides with Nissan, become…

Will anyone buy me? Pleeeaaase? Pretty pretty please? Oh come on, I was actually designed to use the amount of power I have! Well... sort of. I handle better than anything with a Hellcat in it! Wait, why can't I have a Hellcat? Would people like me with a Hellcat? Why can't it be the 90's again? I had a TV show in the…

Its a publicity stunt for the next Forza DLC, the Jalopnik Car Pack Big and Tall Edition. Included will be the Weinermobile, Dale Jarrett's UPS Truck and Jeremy Clarkson's 2-Story Citroen from the motorhome challenge.

When I see red, white and blue on a LeMans car, I think Nissan. I like the new Toyota prototypes, but the part of my brain dedicated to Group C and IMSA keeps trying to tell me its a Nissan.

The saddest part of all this: the Annihilator is STILL less vapoware-y than the Lyons. I mean, the Annihilator has actual vents, visibility, and a general nod to what is possible in reality.

This rash of recent supercar accidents is actually the work of speculators trying to make specific cars more valuable 30 years from now. The fewer there are, the more they go for auction in the future.

Am I wrong for thinking the new RS doesn't look "unique" enough? Such as, the RS looks too much like an ST or even a normal Focus? I kind of wish the RS's appearance reflected its awesome capabilities more. The Escort Cosworth has huge bulging fenders and distinct hood vents and the previous RS's, though not as…

I have an idea for an all-wagon race series. The cars in the series would be about GT3 spec with one very special rule. The trick is that you would have to haul the tires you are going to use for the entire race around with you (or at least for how many regular pit stops you plan, since flats and accidents are…

Although what Jeremy did was wrong, most likely all three presenters were probably under a ton of pressure day after day to film and produce high quality content. The difference with Jeremy is he cracked while the other two have simply grown tired.

You know what, I think I had the wrong idea about all this. Its clear to me now the 911 has strong rally roots all the way to its beginning. An off-road 911 is not a novelty, its a return to true form.

The 911 can make for a capable rally machine, no doubt about that. I personally loved the 959 and its Dakar counterpart. Its just sometimes I feel like the "novelty" of a road based car doing off road things overshadows the car's actual capabilities. Its weird to explain but when people go nuts over an off-road 911, I…

Off-road Porsches are impressive, however I think too much of its appeal may be from the novelty of the idea and not necessarily the machine itself. The 911 wasn't intended as a dirt flinging rally machine, so its refreshing and somewhat humorous if a 911 can be made to fling dirt in the face of some wine-sipping…

Here I thought his longevity would depend on F1 research teams making him a robot body, but you are right he has certainly gone with the supernatural route.

F1 and the direction of its management is such a curious case. Yes, F1 is about money but its not about the growth of its brand, two principals of which seem to conflict to me. Bernie himself has said he does not care about drawing in a younger fan base, signaling to me that he does not care about the state of F1 in…

One of the best cars to never win LeMans, if not the best. So advanced, so fast, so damn sexy. And thank you very much to the rules of GT1 homologation standards. Without you, we wouldn't have something as insane and as equally wonderful as the GT-One road car. I think one of the most shocking things I learned from…

Its obvious that this car captures the attention of whoever played Gran Turismo (and/ or whoever grew up in the 90's), but why? Why this car, which was less tune-able and thus slower than its more accessible AWD counterparts in the game? I'll tell you why.

I would like to see Arnie and David Hobbs cover an F1 race as commentators. If NBC picked them up, I think for the first time in history the American coverage of an F1 race would be the best (before anyone debates how "American" such coverage would be, I'm completely aware Arnie and Hobbs are not of American origin...…

Totally agree with this. I too believe this was the point he was trying to make in the article and not necessarily to make a coded message about Top Gear's future. Also, thank you for making your post more relevant to the article's subject material instead of regurgitating everything we have already heard about what…

When I was bored in high school and college, I would ask people around me for car design ideas. Most people were smart asses and gave me dumb ideas, and then were surprised when I actually drew them. One such person asked me to combine a Viper and a Beetle.

It is difficult to get much more hardcore than the 348 GT, so in true Ferrari fashion I'm going to stretch the rules. The Ferrari 365 GTB/4 Daytona Competizione would start life as a street car that was road legal. Ferrari did not intend to send the Daytonas racing but customers demanded versions they could privateer.…
