Happy Birthday, Ayrton Senna! If he were still alive, Ayrton Senna da Silva, who many consider to be the greatest driver in the history of racing, would be 53 years old. In honor of our favorite Brazilian driver’s birthday, we’ve compiled a great collection of Senna videos for you to watch… (more…)

AMAZING!!! Check out violent high speed drifting at its best, from this helmet-cam video of D1 Grand Prix driver Naoto Suenaga from Team Orange in his missile – an RPS13 Nissan 180SX “battle car.” Most people know Ebisu for its legendary Minami Course (the famous South Course used in D1GP competition), but check out Naoto as he drifts the high-speed Higashi Course (East Course) at Ebisu Circuit in Fukushima Japan.

Since 1952, The
12 Hours of Sebring has been the premier sports car endurance race in North America.
Sebring International Raceway's historic 3.74 mile, 17-turn circuit, made from an
old World War II B-17 bomber training base, is the oldest road racing circuit in North America!
This weekend, we're following the exploits of
Greaves Motorsport from the UK, and their
Nissan powered
Zytek LM P2 prototype.

DragonSpeed took the world stage for the first time at the
Dunlop 24H Dubai recently and delivered an impressive performance, finishing 11th overall and fifth in class from 80 starters. Only a surfeit of time penalties and late race mechanical gremlins kept the Florida-based team from taking a place in the Top 10 and a step on the Class A6 Pro-Am podium with its
GT3 Audi R8 LMS Ultra.

Ever since I first laid my eyes on Singer’s customized interior treatment, I’ve been in love with the Singer Porsche 911. It looks pretty damn perfect in my eyes.
It’s the precise blend of vintage Porsche soul, mixed in with some modern touches that don’t ruin the nostalgic aesthetic of the car. I wish more retro car builders would take notes from the examples that Singer has created! (more…)

This past weekend, I was given the opportunity to join my friends from
Raceline USA and
JDM Zipties at the series opener of the
Honda Tuning Cup Challenge at
Buttonwillow Raceway. There are three announced HT Cup Challenge events for the 2013 calendar so far - Buttonwillow, Chuckwalla Raceway, and Streets of Willow.
Raceline also added a new component to the trackdays they organize - a challenge series for the new
86 Platform,"Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ. Even though it is called the
86 Challenge (coincidentally the same name as the previously announced 86 Challenge from
Speedventures), the series is tailored towards Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ drivers, not AE86 owners.

I had a lot more fun than expected when I test drove this
Midnight Blue 370Z Touring Roadster! During the week I had it, I drove it to several weekday meetings and photo shoots with the top down, enjoying the 70 degree weather typical of Southern California in February. On the weekend, I was given the opportunity to join my friends from
Raceline USA at a track day they hosted at
Buttonwillow Raceway.
At first, I felt like the odd man out in a
bone stock 2013 370Z Touring Roadster, because almost everyone else in attendance drove the track day in a modified or race prepared car. I quickly got over that feeling though, because a day at the track with friends is always a fun experience. And a 6-speed 370Z Roadster is definitely a fun car to drive!

If you saw our previously published story on the
R's Tuning Ben Sopra GTR from the
Fast & Furious 6 movie, then you already know we were out at
Buttonwillow Raceway this past weekend for the
Global Time Attack Pro Am with
Shift S3ctor. The event wasn't intended to be one of the larger GTA events; it was planned as a Pro/Amateur track day for the guys to shake down their cars at Buttonwillow. The types of cars at the event varied pretty wildly, from expensively modified AMG Benzes to homegrown builds, like Honda Civics and Mazda RX7s.
