    Wow.


    Why can't I watch FIA GT racing in the U.S.? It's a travesty.

    If your local cable/satellite provider were to offer WRC/IRC rallying, various Touring car series (V8 Supercars, BTCC, et al), FIA GT racing, and other funny ferrin racing series in a pay per view/on demand package like MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice or ESPN's college football/basketball packages, would you pony up and subscribe?

    I swear, Paul Ricard has the most photogenic tarmac and those striped run-offs areas are just HAWT.


    And those cars aren't too bad either, the Ford GT, the S7, the Masers, the Astons, the Ferraris, the Vettes, the Lambos...


    Heck, even the Porsches look alright, and the BMW 6 and GT-R are starting to make a little sens... wait... uh... actually no.

    Dear Auto Insider,


    I have a small problem that I think you may be able to help me with. You see, I am a carmosexual male and sometimes have problems "controlling myself" when faced with gratuitous car pr0n. I tend to get over-excited and then I ejaculate.


    You are probably wondering what this has to do with you. Here's the deal: can you please let me know a day in advance when you are going to post gratuitous car pr0n on Jalopnik? Things like Supercar Teardown, pictures of the Ford GT in full race trim, etc. tend to lead to me unloading my man-juice in my pants. If I have advance warning I will know to bring a change of pants.


    Thank you and forever yours,


    engineerd
