SO IT BEGINS! This Sunday will be the first return to F1 at Joxer Daly's!

The BSR crew and friends gather once again for the time honored event of food, booze, and F1!

How quickly it comes to us. Spring is here and a new grid awaits. Mclaren running last years and the previous years champions in their cars. Schumi is back, Alonso in a prancing pony, no pit stops for fuel, and an Indian team that is surprising everyone.

Let it begin!

Lots of racing this weekend! SpeedTV.

The Rolex series hit Homestead and today we've got Australian V8 Supercars out at Bahrain. Remember you can search your TiVO for various racing events pretty easily. Then add them as a Season Pass.

Ultimate Man Cave?

Found this roaming the internets for cool car shit.

So what does one do when his 4-Car garage is no longer worthy?

 

I’ll post a link the the thread if you would like to read the whole story.

2011 v6 Mustang MPG numbers are official - 19/30. Yes 30mpg!

The new federal testing is done and there it is. Thanks to a highly efficient 6-speed automatic tranny with appropiate gearing, the 305HP V6 Mustang is returning 30mpg on the highway. This uses the newer EPA aggressive testing proceedures as well.





The engine itself is rather large at 3.7l. Impressive for a V6. Still no word on the "sound" of this engine. Ford claims it will have a throaty grunt despite being a V6. We shall see about that.


Currently most V6 Mustangs, even with after-market exhausts, tend to sound like buzzy imports. A blastpheomy to say the least!


The 305hp is pretty slick, but current GT owners relax. The V6s torque curve doesn't deliver the same punch as the current 300hp V8s. You'll take them off the line and even down at the end of the track.


There is also more parasitic loss "effect" with the V6. Mainly due to the displacement being lower than that of the V8. So the "power to the wheels" is generally a lot lower. Still, impressive.

Same old song and dance for F1

Can't say something like this was not expected. Oh well, let the pissing and moaning begin.

Hamilton is finally giving his Dad the BOOT!

No more looking over his shoulder AND telling him what to do. I wonder if Hamilton will try and keep him out of the pits too? No more Daddy as manager. Freedom?
