I’ve been obsessing over vintage rally films lately. There’s a bunch of them scattered all over the Youtube-verse. The cars, the driving, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. I can only imagine what it must have been like to tear through the mountains and around cliffs on skinny tires and with absolutely no driver aids […]

In this week’s installment of the Human Element, we will be discussing the allure of the V8 engine despite the fact that there are more efficient and practical applications out there. Because after all, no one ever reminisces about that time they had a mediocre driving experience. There are three key elements that set the […]
The #AlcanMINI team has been suffering from limited connectivity…and exhaustion! Here is an update and photos from Bobby Danger, Alcan MINI team member as they continue to compete in the Alcan 5000. Reporting from Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. Somehow it’s day 6 already and I’m trying to play catch up. I thought they had the […]
Day 3: Long drive from Grimshaw, Alberta to Yellowknife, NT. About 1000km of mostly dry roads. A few kms of snow. Crossed the McKenzie river which was mostly frozen just before our last fuel stop.

Winter has finally arrived in the Pacific Northwest and racing season is coming to an end, but while most folks are putting their race cars in the garage for the off season, a couple of guys from Oregon are doing just the opposite. Racing comes in many forms and for Bobby Danger and Joshua Murray […]
American sports car racing has a long and illustrious history. The upcoming 12 Hours of Sebring was first held in 1952. We’re talking about decades of thrilling victories, agonising defeats and everything in between. It’s practically impossible to tell all the stories from one such event far the less those from decades of races. Yet […]

For the better part of twelve hours last Saturday (Western hemisphere time), our eyeballs and bandwidth were transfixed by the Liqui-Moly Bathurst 12 Hour race. Competitors pushed hard and the record weekend crowd of 37,079 motorsports fans got more than their money’s worth. At the end of the day, it was Tekno Autoports’ #59 McLaren […]
The 2016 IMSA season kicked off with the Rolex 24 Hours at Daytona International Speedway on January 30th.

It felt like a sprint from start to finish and featured some great moments […]

The year shot by for me. Seems like yesterday I was heading out to my first event of 2015, and here we are already staring down the throat of the 2016 season. Where did the time go? A dozen shooting days at Laguna Seca. Another dozen more at Race Sonoma (that’s what they call Sears […]
