The Fiends over at F1Fanatics have managed to get up close and personal with Red Bull’s new F1 racer – the RB5. The car shows a design that copes with the sweeping new rules set forth by the FIA. In a shock to absolutely no one listening, pilot Sebastian Vettel said the car’s goal is [...]

No matter how expensive fuel gets or how hard green regs come down us all, man will race man (or woman). It’s just the way of things. That said, if the [...]
Those lucky dogs over at 0-60 are schmoozing it up over in ole Pari as we speak. That’s cool. We don’t like intercontinental plane rides anyway. Honest. Lucky for us, the miracle of the interweb makes it like we’re right there, soaking up all the shiny we possibly can. Our pals at 0-60 have been [...]

Future Top Gear USA co-host, and 2007 X Games Rally winner, Tanner Foust, took second with [...]
Those crazy bastards. Once again they’ve braved grueling heat, blinding sand storms, armed locals and excessive tequila. The 40th running of the Tecate SCORE Baja 500 wrapped up last weekend with the kind of emotion you can’t hardly find anywhere else in racing. Anybody brave enough to try the race, let alone finish the Baja [...]
It’s finally happened. The now world famous (some would say over-hyped) Indy Car driver officially became the first female racer to ever win an Indy Car race this past weekend at the Indy 300 in Motegi, Japan. Many thought the race wouldn’t even happen as seasonal rain in the area was so bad [...]
