RANDOM SNAP>>BURN OUT

I dropped by the Nurburgring on a magazine assignment this weekend and shot today's warm up for the Main GT1 race. The evidence of rubber abuse was too good to miss. After a disappointing Qualifying Race Sumo Power will need all their age and guile to pull a result out of the hat. It won't [...]

SEQUENCE>> THE DRIFT FINK IN LONDON

Greetings from London! This is my absolute favourite city in the world, and I find it quite exciting that in around an hours time I'll be hopping on The Tube to attend the JDM Allstars Wembley drift event. I don't normally associate London with drifting, so it's a bit of a mind tease to be [...]

The last round of the FIA World GT1 Championship was at the legendary Spa track in Belgium – we’ve now moved to the other end of the swathe of forest that runs across eastern Belgium and into western Germany to another classic track: the Nürburgring. The weather at Spa was typically predictable in being unpredictable; [...]

DESKTOPS>> FIA GT1 @ NURBURGRING

The FIA GT1 circus has moved across the border from Belgium into Germany and it's brought the rain with it… Not only that, but it's added some more rain, just to be sure. And thunder. And lightning. Then it's sunny for half an hour – though the GT1 cars have only seen one dry session [...]

CAR FEATURE>> HENRY’S S12 (NOT AN ’86)

It's always when you least expect it that you fall into love. It's never when you're out on the prowl looking for it. It just happens. This was the case for Henry Nguyen as he was going about looking for a car to get him to and from school.  At first glance, from the front, [...]

POLL>>CLASSICS: MODDED OR NOT?

As we draw towards the end of old school month, we thought for this week's poll it'd be cool to have you guys speak your mind on how your ideal classic machine would be built. From a purist-pleasing resto to a full on Frankenstein build, there's plenty of ways to go about enjoying classic iron. [...]

CAR SPOTLIGHT>>A PONCHO-POWERED FORD

I thought I'd take a quick break from all the Formula D coverage and jump back into the old school theme with this retro beast I spotted in Redondo Beach a couple weeks ago. As far as this month's theme goes, this car is really as "old school" as it gets. It started out as [...]
