The American Le Mans series always starts its season big and ends it big. The season starts in Florida for the 12 Hours of Sebring and ends it with a bang in Georgia at the 10 hour race, the Petit Le Mans. This year at Road Atlanta, there will be 54 cars navigating the race [...]
As it sit in my hotel room, which is not too far from the Road Atlanta race track where the 13th running of the Petit Le Mans is about to happen, I thought I'd take time to look back at my time at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca for the six hour race, which can be [...]
One quick glance at this 1987 Nissan 200SX S12 Silvia, owned by Colin Masterson, and you’ll think it’s just another nice looking S12 with a few simple, yet tasteful modifications with very little (if any at all) engine modifications. This S12 features more than just simple engine modifications… …as it has an RB26DETT sitting very snug [...]
Muhammad Balbed sent in this photo he shot from a local meet and cruise from Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta is a city with an insane amount of traffic, the roads are not in the best condition and cars are rather expensive in Indonesia because of the tax. But despite all of those factors, the car scene in Jakarta is rather [...]

The love hate relationship that we have with cars often leads us to do strange things. Take, for example, Australian enthusiast Jing, who has taken two bites of the modifying apple. This once blue Integra Type R was a worked street car but, having grown bored of it, Jing decided to sell it off. However a few [...]
The other day I spotlighted a very high riding ’55 Chevy gasser from Billetproof. Today I have another ’55 from the show, albeit one that’s done in an entirely different way. You don’t see many “kustom” style ’55 Chevys, and that’s a big reason why I was drawn to this very low two-door hardtop. Ths [...]
We're going to wrap up our twenty-eleven Revival coverage with a series of desktops from both Jonathan and myself. It was actually pretty difficult to try and pick just a handful of images to grace your screens but I think we've found a solid balance between the static show, the details and the on-track action. [...]
Early on a Sunday morning, the massive Nissan plant in Sunderland echoed to the sound of screaming engines and tortured tires, as the British Drift Championship 2011 came to a climax with the final round. Practice and qualifying had produced some surprise results, leaving all three classes well and truly up for grabs. As the [...]
It's hard to believe that the 2011 Formula D season is coming to a close. Next weekend will be the 8th time Formula D has finished a season at Irwindale Speedway, the "House of Drift." To freshen things up and make the show more exciting this year, the organizers decided to change the competition course. This new [...]

There were a whole lot of cars at JCCS, but if there was one car that stood out the most for me, it would be this extremely clean 1972 Toyota Celica GT head-to-toe in classic red. The car was completely stripped down and repainted. Luckily, the owner kept the original Celica GT vinyl graphics. Too [...]
The Paddock. Formula 1's inner sanctum. With perimeter fencing and security tight enough to rival an airport, this part of F1 is rarely seen. It is here that the F1 drivers, teams, media and VIP celebrities mingle. If you've ever wanted to know what goes on inside the Paddock, hopefully you'll enjoy this behind the [...]
One of the other cars that peaked my interest at JCCS, earlier this month, was this 1972 Datsun 510. It's a car that almost anyone into cars can appreciate as it balances both looks, comfort and performance rather well. Speaking of visual aesthetics, the exterior body of the car has been shaved for a cleaner [...]
They might not attract all the attention as high profiled events, but to me a small grassroots meet like the recent Roadster & Rotary Meeting is the kind of gathering that best represents the true car culture that exists in Japan. There are no sponsors, nobody out to make a profit, it's all about the [...]
It had been a long month of drifting as we approached the final of the British Drift Championship. Four major events and 2500 miles later, I can't quite believe the 2011 Drift season is over. It just seems like yesterday I was making my way north to Donnington Park for the opener of BDC six [...]
