Super D Matsuri is the ultimate drift weekend. This year’s version attracted some of Japan’s and America’s best drifting talent to the California desert, complete with the incredible cars they brought with them. The photos of the cars in action were mind-blowing enough, but the videos were even better.
The best racing passes are the ones where someone just whooshes through their competition like a magical curvy lane through appeared for just them. You stare at the pass and can’t fathom how the driver made it work without hitting anything. Let’s savor this insane IndyCar pass from the Long Beach Grand Prix in all its…
I am not exactly an arbiter of what is or is not a bad decision but so help me god I want to drive this thing so bad even though O know it would probably end with me flattened like a pancake.
One of the most entertaining drivers in Japan over the past few years has been Kazuya Taguchi, an Up Garage employee (kind of like super Autozone) who also runs in Formula Drift. Now he’s come stateside in this 4.1-liter R35 Nissan GT-R, which makes more power than you’d ever need.
The Hill Country Rallye is an annual gathering for aircooled Porsches on the twisty roads of central Texas, and this year’s event brought out 130 of the best cars on the planet. Even with one of the most coveted cars on the planet, the siren song of a gravel parking lot must be answered.
Russian YouTube channel Garage 54 exists in a magic place somewhere between Mythbusters and The Red Green Show, where cars are subject of delightfully sketchy experiments. Take this attempt to run concrete instead of air in their tires, for example. I mean, roads are made of concrete. Why not tires?
Cats are known for certain behaviors: always sitting on whatever you’re working on, hiding when it’s time to go to the vet, and the infamous cat-righting reflex that enables them to land on their feet. Is your car secretly a cat? Send it over a ramp, and find out.
All forms of Mazda Miata racing are known for one thing: a good number of drivers who, as Ken Block would put it, just ain’t care. Add fresh rain into the mix and you get the first time I’ve laughed out loud at the delightful nuttiness of a race in a long, long time.
This little front-wheel-drive Honda isn’t the usual fare you’d see at wild burnout competitions, but it’s capable of making an entire yard disappear into thick, smoky burnout-cloud air! Wow!
Got a race coming up? You’ll definitely want to take a look at the track first. Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo just had the best recon lap ever for this weekend’s Australian Grand Prix: in the passenger seat of pro drifter Mad Mike Whiddett’s 1200-horsepower four-rotor turbo rotary-powered Mazda MX-5.
The mad scientists at Hoonigan are big fans of caster-wheeled Crazy Carts—the cool little toys made for drifting—but Crazy Carts just don’t have enough power. So, they’re taking a front-wheel-drive Volvo V70, hacking it in half and making their own giant Crazy Cart for lunatic grown-ups.
Even the most novice trails look impassable in a supercar that’s slammed to the ground, but that didn’t stop this ultimate driving ninja from taking his McLaren 720S off the pavement. This may just be one of the most nerve-wracking things we’ve seen in a while.
The 12 Hours of Sebring is an annual gathering of like-minded motoring and alcohol enthusiasts where they are free to embrace their inner Florida Man. There’s also a world-famous endurance race going on at the same time, but these fine Floridian gentlemen were too busy with their own motorsport endeavors to pay much…
Everything is cooler in off-road trim—even the 420,666,069th Mazda Miata you’ve seen on the internet, or a Porsche 912 that was already cool. The masterminds behind the Gambler 500 recently dropped by Hoonigan for a good ol’ fashioned hoon-off, and needless to say, everybody wins in their battle of cool cars catching…
