Staff Writer at Jalopnik. 2017 Fiesta ST. Wishes NASCAR was more like Daytona USA.

Yeah, it was Black Box’s first NFS, all other versions were EA Seattle Read more

Yes! Can’t stand the heavy handling in HP2010, completely ruins the game for me. Heat is very underrated, glad you’re liking it! Read more

HP2, especially the PS2 version, is one of the best racing games ever Read more

All good points, especially what the Focus would cost today. The Rio doesn’t seem like an unreasonable value or anything, I just wish there was a little more love and ingenuity put into the entry-level market these days, like what you saw with the Fit in the beginning of its life, and, say, the Hyundai Casper in Asia Read more

That transmission was a thing that happened, yes Read more

Typically they’ll pivot down so you can see the curb near your rear wheels. It can be turned off. Read more

I did not try that! And if that’s how Audi does it, chances are you’re right. Read more

Glad you’re liking it! I didn’t live with the one I drove, probably had two hours with it all told, but it seemed nice and fun enough. Read more

Yeah, I’m fairly worried the choice of exterior shells will not be sufficient, but it might be worth the trade off of being able to build a modern rear-engine A110 with some crazy engine type/hybrid element Read more

Sure, but only in the last year have they dropped to a semi-affordable price point. I was only bringing up the 11 Nm of the G Pro as it compared to the CSL DD, because that’s the one most people are trying to/can buy. The 20 Nm crowd is beyond overkill for 90% of sim racers. Read more

For anything above 5 Nm of force feedback, no, probably not haha. That said, I can attest to the tried-and-tested, entry-level genius of the folding tray table for sim racing. Read more

Now playing

According to the Traxion review (which is real good, I recommend checking out for questions not answered here), Logitech will be releasing an adapter to use the existing H-pattern with the G Pro, and the G Pro pedals with the G923/G29/etc

I’ll give you that their shit does not die, ever haha Read more

Should be said, this is also an artist rendering. That sort of detail might just be missed here. Read more

I think so. I mean, the harsh truth is that it’s still cheaper than the average new car today, and if you go for the Circuit — or whatever the Circuit becomes after 23 — it feels premium enough. The Core grade definitely has more of an economy car feel to it, but you’re paying for things you won’t see in the interior Read more

We were able to briefly take it on side roads, and the ride wasn’t noticeably harsher or much different than other cars of this type, thought I’d want to live with it for more time to really say one way or the other. And yes — the handbrake works just like it does in the GR Yaris! Read more
