Racing

I’ve done some stupid stuff behind the wheel of a car that didn’t quite go as planned. I’ve always just laughed it off and taken the ribbings from the folks who witnessed.…

Norwegian Cruise Line has been showing off its plans for a new cruise ship that will operate out of China. The ship plans to start hauling Chinese guests around in the summer of 2017.…

Nissan has set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest drift ever. The car that pulled off this epic drift was a heavily modified Nissan that started life as a “normal” 2016 GT-R.…

The Isle of Man is one of the fastest, coolest, and deadliest true road races in the world. Motorcyclists fly around closed off public roads at triple digit speeds that are so narrow they would be hard for normal drivers to navigate at low speeds.…

I like to think that shortly after the first two cars showed up in the same town, the first car race went down. With autonomous cars getting closer and closer to production, it’s no surprise that a racing series for autonomous cars is in the works.…

After an accident at the Nürburgring Nordschleife claimed the life of a spectator, speed limits were imposed on three sections of the famous racing circuit. The owners of the track have announced that those speed limits are now being lifted.…

A Lamborghini Huracan is a very fast exotic car right out of the box. If you take that already fast and glorious sounding Italian car and strap on some turbos and other go fast parts, you end up with some sexy automotive insanity.…

Factory-built race cars aren’t uncommon – just about every automaker out there has a motorsports team in one series or another. But McLaren has its roots in racing.…

The Autodrome de Monthléry, located outside of Paris, has seen better days. The huge concrete bowl in the town of Montlhéry, about 20 miles south of Paris, was one of the first purpose built circuits when construction finished in 1924.…

I am a big fan of racecars where every last thing is built to perform. All the spats, ducts, and spoilers on a proper racecar are there for a reason and the reason isn’t to look cool in the local parking lot.…

The 24 hour endurance race at Le Mans every year is one of the biggest races on the planet. But unlike other racing events, you have to be invited to participate.…

Ford has announced that the all-new and dead sexy 2017 F-150 Raptor truck will take on the 2016 Best in the Desert off-road racing series. The Raptor will run in the factory stock class using the production platform that includes a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, 10-speed transmission, and torque-on-demand transfer case.…

The Chevrolet Corvette rolls off its assembly line in Kentucky with enough power for most mere mortals, but that doesn’t stop track junkies from modding them for more power.…

Growing up, one of my favorite movies was the Clint Eastwood flick Firefox, with that jet that you could control with your mind. McLaren has a new racing car concept that is a little Firefox mixed with a bit of modern F1 DNA.…
