Update 11/13/18 1:15 p.m: Global Time Attack reached out and set the record straight with how things actually turned out that day. Mountain Pass Performance was disqualified from moment one for having a guest driver when someone jokingly suggested they should be DQ’d for being electric. GTA agreed to pull the driver…
Hyundai recently took the TCR class World Challenge California 8 Hours at Laguna Seca with Bryan Herta Autosport’s i30 N TCR—pictured. The problem with that is that the i30 isn’t sold in the U.S. and Hyundai didn’t gain as much marketing collateral in this market as they would have liked to.
It’s bright yellow with stripes and stickers and patches of primer. It’s got a Olds Toronado 455 cubic inch big block mounted in the bed with chrome zoomies sticking out the back. If you’ve seen the Roadkill “Mazdarati” Mazda REPU in person, you’re not soon to forget it. Which is why it’s so freaking stupid that some…
As Sunday’s Grand Prix came to an end, Max Verstappen was already on the radio to his team on the cooldown lap issuing thinly veiled threats of violence against Esteban Ocon. Ocon, in an attempt to stay on the lead lap of the race, was fighting harder than necessary with race leader Verstappen. The ultimate result of…
Max Verstappen is a dick, but in today’s Brazilian Grand Prix he certainly had the fastest car on track this weekend. Red Bull spent all of their efforts in qualifying attempting to finalize their in-race setups rather than focusing on their grid position. As a result the two Red Bull drivers started behind the…
Growing up in La Sarthe as the granddaughter of one of the founders of Le Mans, racing might seem like a predestined future. For Anny-Charlotte Verney, with an unrivalled ten straight years of competing in the 24 hour race, that certainly proved to be true—even with no immediately family competing in racing.
If you’re like me and spend too much of your free time delving into the historical annals of Formula One races, you’ve probably realized how tough they can be to watch. Sometimes ambient race car noises and good battles are all you need—but how are you supposed to know who’s down a lap, which passes are for position?
Stunt double for Lynda Carter on Wonder Woman. Holder of speed records galore. Trained musician. Olympic potential. These are just a few ways you could describe Kitty O’Neil, one of the most daring women in history, who died over the weekend in Eureka, South Dakota.
It’s 1971, and America looks like it’s getting, well, boring. Yeah, yeah, we were in the thick of anti-Vietnam protesting, Black Power movements, feminist resistance, and the drug craze. The music was great and the cars looked incredible. But for automotive enthusiasts, things weren’t quite so great. Ralph Nader…
IndyCar fans know the name. Former racer turned race analyst Paul Tracy is potentially seeing the consequences of some very ugly, loose-lipped social media posts. After a particularly threatening Facebook comment, Tracy is now under investigation by NBC.
She was raised on the scent of racing. Daughter of an automotive engineer and the youngest of five very competitive children, Maria Teresa de Filippis didn’t set out to change the face of racing—but change it she did.
Michael Avenatti, a lawyer who is representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump and maybe enjoys his role a little too much, and is also a possible 2020 presidential contender in his own right, is a legit racecar driver, too. But Avenatti recently told Autoweek he may not run for…
Lewis Hamilton needed to finish seventh or higher in order to mathematically preclude Sebastian Vettel, his last eligible competitor with a chance, from the 2018 World Championship and take it for himself. By sitting back and allowing everyone else to fight it out, Hamilton trotted home in fourth, the last car on the…
Sébastien Loeb edged out defending WRC champ Sébastien Ogier by 2.9 seconds to win RallyRACC Catalunya this weekend. If that seems like a sentence that could have been written years ago, there’s good reason for that. Loeb has been largely absent from the World Rally Championship since the 2013 season. The French rally…
The stories of the handful of women who have attempted a break into Formula One have all been fraught with some kind of disaster. Many of them didn’t qualify. Many of them didn’t finish a race. But no woman’s tale is quite as strange as that of Giovanna Amati, the last woman to have entered a Formula One World…
Rookie IndyCar driver Robert Wickens was the victim of a terrifying wreck at Pocono in August, a wreck which broke nearly his entire body. Wickens shared a video Thursday of him in rehabilitation, while also confirming that he is now paraplegic.
And to think, I had a draft all ready to go hailing Lewis Hamilton for his eternal dominance at Circuit of The Americas. Turns out Kimi Raikkonen had other plans.
The somewhat awkwardly named BMW i Andretti Motorsport team set the fastest times in Formula E pre-season testing at Valencia this week, some five seconds per lap quicker than the pre-season testing at the same circuit a year ago. The team’s lead driver Antonio Felix da Costa posted the best lap with a 1:16.977s time,…
