— Senna — The Documentary — A Must See!!!

I finally got around to watching the long awaited (and multiple award winning) documentary, Senna. The documentary follows the racing career of the great Formula One driver, Ayrton Senna. From his start in Kart (Cart) racing to his debut in Formula One. This leads to his first Championship in 1988 through to his death during the Grand Prix of San Marino, Italy (Imola). Although the setting is Formula One, even if you’re not a fan, you should watch it because this is the story about a person striving to be the best in his field; including the tribulations he...

OK, OK, we’ve given in! We now have a Facebook page. Apparently, we were told, if we plan to go anywhere with a site, we have to embrace social media. Now we’re like: -Car and Driver, -Formula One, -Automobile, -Autoblog, -Man on the Move, -Hot Rod, and every other site that claims to love cars. But we’re exited about it. Click the image and “Like” us . If you look closely, you’ll note that the page only has one person who likes it (and I have no idea who that is). Our goal is...

If you consider yourself a serious car guy, there is one show that you must watch… and honestly, you probably do watch it. This show is the mighty Top Gear. We’re not talking about any particular country’s version of the licensed copy’s. We’re talking about the original British Show. It is without a doubt, the best show on worldwide TV. It binds us together as auto enthusiasts. The show follows the three “presenters” as they get into all kind of mayhem. Whether it be to run a rocket powered Mini down a ski jump, race a Bugatti Veyron against...

Congratulations Fresno! You’ve done it again. You have regained your well deserved position as the car theft capital of the United States once again. You may not have any surviving industry other than a waning agricultural market . The numbers have been tabulated and we have the stats. In 2010, more than 7,500 cars were stolen and that was enough. A large portion of these cars were, just as you would’ve guessed, 1990′s model Honda’s. But hey this is good news really because in...

What was the most expensive speeding ticket in American History in a car? 242 Miles Per Hour. Yes, you heard it right. 242 MPH. The story for the last decade has been that it occurred during the 2003 Gumball Rally (a rip off of the infamous Cannonball Rally) when a Koenigsegg CC8 (or a CC8S in some tales) was ticketed. But here’s the thing; we have some questions that must be answered, that seem not to have been taken into account. - Where is the Ticket? (who would’ve have shown that all over the place)? - Where are all...

Was recently turned on to a wheel company that grinds out wheels for American Cars. And the end product is extremely reasonable. There are numerous reasons why someone would want these reproductions of factory wheels, including those who need to replace a wheel after destroying one of thier own. They create wheel series from the more popular American cars being made today. Just think of wheels for cars like the Dodge Charger, Ford Lightning, Jeep SRT8, and several Generations of Corvette. The great part is that you can buy some wheels for different types of car. Look to the...

Autocourse has been putting out magazines and books on racing for years. But this time, they put out a work of art in Autocourse : 60 Years Of World Championship Grand Prix Racing. This book has it all.. and if you like Formula One racing… like you should. This book has it all, including all of those great moments from the origins of Monaco to the rise of Schumacher. If you remember it, its in this hardcover book. ————————– Product Description This book tells the story of the globally successful FIA Formula 1 World Championship from its roots before...

Steering in a Video Game — What a great Idea . Especially when modern games are technological masterpieces that consider themselves “simulators”. Gone are the days of Pole Position. Now we have games that are high powered 3D racing games where the cars are highly computer-modeled and the race tracks are replicated to the exact distance using satellite mapping and GPS. This means that if you are driving on Nurburgring, you are driving on an exact replica of the real course. The cars are supremely modeled as well as thier performance. Every new version and update of the games...

There’s a new way to waste money and time in my life. Ahh yes! The game is F1 2010. There have been very few F1 games because they are incredibly difficult to make, more difficult to pull off realism, and even more difficult to satisfy the hoards of fanatical F1 fans that will attack every little mistake that is not addressed. F1 games are a difficult enterprise indeed. We won’t even get into the fact that you’ll have to go through the FIA marketing guys for permission and then go through the teams for yet more permission to copy,...

— Mirage Color Shifting Paint — Product Test

I was preparing to paint a chipped up grill black. While shopping for supplies at a local Autozone, I came across the Mirage color shifting painting system; made by Dupli-Color. I thought to myself and said you know, I can be boring or I can try something new. The Mirage color painting system is a three part system. The box itself comes with three spray cans all simply labeled. As long as you can read at a 3rd grade level… You should be alright. Step NONE: Prepare the part. This may be the hardest part of your project. This...
