Change happens fast. You blink your eyes and the next thing you know, ten years have passed and you’ve swapped your sports car dreams for a daily driver that will most efficiently get you from home to work and back again.

Open wheel racing can be a terrifying sport full of near-misses, but there’s a good chance that Indy 500 champion and former Formula One driver Alexander Rossi has never experienced anything quite as terrifying as a potentially terrible crash within the first fifty miles of the Baja 1000.

Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

This is @prkbkr’s first-generation Honda Life, an upscale kei car of the early 1970s. Up front is a water-cooled version of Honda’s CB450 motorcycle inline-two and let me tell you, it is not quiet.

The new Mercedes-Benz GLE can dance, probably better than you can. You, rather proud of your moves that only the walls of your home and A-pillars of your car ever witness, are probably huffing with annoyance and wondering why this matters in the first place, waiting for a chance to change the subject.

While I’ve never been the type of person to be particularly stressed about getting every possible power gain out of my car (when I owned a car), I’ve always been skeptical that a performance air filter would actually have any significant difference over a standard one. But if you do some basic tests, it looks like I’m…

If you’re confused by NASCAR’s playoff system, you’re not the only one. The points system is confusing and terrible and has changed about a million times in the past few years, so it’s kind of a toss-up about who the hell will be competing for the championship. It’s one of those situations where you throw your hands…

We’re well into the age of appreciating rad cars and the Jaguar XJ220 was one of the raddest ones ever built. Know what’s really, really unrad, though? Buying a set of new tires for the thing.

Look at you. You bought a big beef boy Ford F-350 pickup truck and you can’t even get out of the muddy RedBud Motocross parking lot with it. It’s OK though, because somebody brought love in the form of a Subaru Impreza hatchback to help you out.

What’s interesting about the road-legal Lamborghini SC18 is not just that it’s a new one-off from Lambo, it’s the first one-off road car from the company’s racing arm, Squadra Corse. That and, well, look at it.

DeLoreans have achieved a near-mythical status as a pop culture icon and with car enthusiasts alike because of its gullwing doors and its role in Back to the Future. One of the coolest parts in the second movie is when the DeLorean flew through the air, but that wasn’t real. Movies tend to be fantasy, you see. But…

Everyone you know probably jokes that in NASCAR, the person who makes the best left turns is the champion. But deciding the NASCAR champion is far from that simple these days, to the point that you might need a guide to fully grasp what’s going on. Good thing you found one, right?

At some point watching two cops tear down an undivided two-lane road, crossing the double yellow and hitting highway speeds in pursuit of a woman accused of cashing a bad check, you have to wonder why wasn’t the chase called off?

You might think that by virtue of living on planet Earth, we are experts on it. But what you, and the rest of science, doesn’t know would fill a pretty big damn book. We need to look at the bigger picture, but that is tough when you’re battling gravity with combustion engines. Luckily, Boeing’s Aurora Flight Sciences’…

Irv Gordon, the man from Long Island who broke the Guinness World Record for highest vehicle mileage on a single vehicle when the Volvo P1800 he’s owned since new passed three million miles in 2013, has died at 77.
