Billy Monger’s road to victory has been an impressive and inspirational one. In April of 2017, Monger lost both of his legs colliding with a stationary car during the 6th round of the British Formula 4 championship. With a never-say-can’t attitude, he was back to racing within 10 months, using a specially modified car fitted with hand…

If you’re going to pick an unorthodox Formula One car from history to be the one you idolize and hold on high above all others, the Tyrrell P34 isn’t a bad choice. Aside from maybe the Brabham “sucker car” the six-wheeler is one of the best known F1 cars to change things up in an attempt at a faster lap speed. In conce…

During this weekend’s Southern Worthersee, Volkswagen debuted a slew of mildly modified new cars to the gathered Euro Tuner crowd. VW wants to lean in to the whole scene, and show off the concepts to folks who might be willing to perform these modifications to their own new Volkswagens. It’s like dressing your house…

This weekend marked a gathering called “The Supra Is Back To Japan Fes” a gathering of Supra enthusiasts celebrating the return of the Toyota sports car. Doing their part, TRD used this event as an opportunity to display a new Supra with the carbon aero pieces and 19" wheels that were promised. The bits are for sale…

When it comes to new vehicles with manual transmissions, at least in this bleak segment of the global car market we call America, things aren’t great—even the holdouts are shedding their third pedals, and barren sales justify it. But Genesis knew its manual G70 sedan would barely sell, and brought it here anyway.

Fernando Alonso and his McLaren #66 Dallara Chevrolet have been on the bubble in top-30 qualifying Saturday. After switching to a McLaren solo effort supported by Carlin Motorsports this year, following a successful run in 2017 with an Andretti-supported effort, the team doesn’t seem to be doing as well without the…

Here’s a hypothetical situation; You are a wealthy professional body builder, actor, and former governor of the state of California, and you’ve been relocated to the U.K. because you’ve earned a residency teaching young actors how to do a crazy-ass accent in the basement of the Hammersmith Apollo. You currently daily…

If you look at the news coming out of Tesla over the last year or so, it’s obvious that the company is desperately trying to find ways to decrease operating costs. Whether it’s by closing down dealerships, publicly dismissing LIDAR because it’s too expensive, allegedly attempting to block worker’s comp cases, or laying…

If you are a company catering to truck and SUV buyers and you want to make a splash, one way to do that is to show off your product at Overland Expo. This event has grown from a fledgling gathering of off road independents to the SEMA-esque display of rugged products from all over the world. Even some OEMs have gotten…

I saw this car in the real at the SEMA show last fall, and I had to do a double take. My first impression was that some damn fool had modified an original Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing coupe, and I was going to have to throw hands. But as I walked around the car it unveiled its secrets to me. Looking inside, it was…

Way back in 2013 while attending the first WEC race at the Circuit of the Americas, a representative of Michelin asked me what I thought of the electric racing series that was set to debut the following year, called Formula E.

I hope you’re ready to dive into some really timely content, getting to the bottom of an automotive design decision that hasn’t really been seen since, oh, 1930. But it’s one I’ve always been drawn to, and yet one I’m not sure I understand. It’s a design conceit usually called the coal scuttle bonnet, and it’s likely…

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?

I saw another report today of someone on a bicycle getting doored into traffic and dying. It’s common in the U.S. to simply fling your door open as you’re getting out of the car. It’s common enough that there’s a trope in television and movies of opening your door in a busy city and then it gets blown off by a passing…

We don’t often hear about motorcycles at the Nürburgring. For one thing, the track doesn’t allow motorcycles to set official lap times around the full track like cars can, so riders are limited to the Bridge to Gantry lap time. For another, riding a bike at that track is an incredible feat that I, for one, wouldn’t…
