Here’s how bad Brexit could get for the car industry, dealers are pissed at Volvo, Detroit had some fun cars and much more for The Morning Shift of Monday, Jan. 21 2019.

Two cars crossed the finish line of the 2019 Africa Eco Race’s Stage 7 last week like a tumbleweed of metal and rubber. Unbelievably, everybody walked away from what commentators called an “almighty crash” uninjured.

Who needs an SUV when the weather gets bad? Give me a long wheelbase W140 S-Class and some tire chains any day.

The Periodic table is something with which we’re no doubt all familiar. It’s long been the bane of junior high kids intent on passing science class as they have to memorize the names and positions of all the known elements. Well, almost all of them.

Normally a competitor in the World Rally Championship’s lower-tier WRC2 category, Benito Guerra took home the overall Race of Champions title on home soil Sunday in Mexico City. The 33-year old took down FIA WEC champ and Formula E ace Loic Duval in the final round to take the title in a huge upset.

Excluding the costs associated with personnel, building the race cars, transportation all over the globe, hospitality, and whatever else Formula One teams spend ridiculous money on, there are the costs to just enter the championship in the first place. Since 2013, teams have paid an entry fee for the year based on how…

Jean-Dominique Senard has been at the helm of French tire giant Michelin for seven years, and in that time has boosted profitability for the company. This characteristic alone is one Renault desperately needs. Profitability was one of Carlos Ghosn’s strong suits, assisting with record sales and profit percentages for…

If you own a staid and boring 991 Turbo or Turbo S and you’re looking for a huge boost in power, want to stand out from the crowd with functional—if ugly—track-focused aerodynamics, and have a whole lot of money to throw at the problem, Gemballa has the solution for you. The new GTR 8XX EVO-R Biturbo is an overboosted…

Forget about a Supra, of any generation really, because the AW11 Toyota MR2 has always been, and always will be, the real hero of Toyota’s lineup. Especially in Supercharged guise, the MR2 was a quick and fun car that lived up to its Midship Runabout name. It’s all wedges and pop up headlights and angles, which is…

The most shocking thing to come out of this week’s story about 97-year-old Prince Philip crashing and apparently immediately replacing his Land Rover is the fact that the Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, drives one of the lamest English cars of all time.

Despite having been in Daytona for the Roar Before the 24 test two weeks ago, BMW driver Tom Blomqvist’s Visa has expired and the renewal process has dragged on too long for him to be able to be in the car for the Rolex 24 next weekend. In a statement released by the Rahal Letterman Lanigan BMW team, it was revealed…

Team Germany has been quite dominant in the ROC Nations Cup, netting eight titles, including six-in-a-row from 2007 to 2012. The team has traditionally done very well with Sebastian Vettel paired with Michael Schumacher. For the 2019 iteration in Mexico City, Vettel was back, paired with Michael’s son Mick.

“Nobody at the coffee shop will remember you if we stop at one-million nine-fifty.” And that’s how a professional cattle rattle gets someone to pay the headline-winning price of just over $2 million for the first 2020 Toyota Supra off the production line. Thankfully this isn’t simply some display of vulgar opulence,…

Last year’s Formula E car looks great with about a trillion ice studs in its tires, but the Group B Quattro it’s chasing still looks better suited to this kind of activity. I’d die for the opportunity to boot either of these around the ice circuit at Zell am See for the GP Ice Race.
