Lorenzo: Pedrosa was in control

Jorge Lorenzo said second was the best he could achieve at Motegi as an inspired Dani Pedrosa was in control from the front. Despite Motegi suiting the Hondas more than Lorenzo's Yamaha, the Spaniard had qualified second and had his race prospects boosted when Casey Stoner ran wide and lost the lead in the early stages

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Spy Photos: Surprise, It?s Not Mid-Engine

The C7 Corvette will be more of an evolution, although you can expect a smaller V8. America?s sports car. A brutally effective track weapon. A favorite of hairy-chested, gold-chain-wearing old dudes. Or simply one of the world?s best dollar-for-dollar performance bargains. The Corvette is at least a little of all of those, and that?s why [...]

?No excuse? for Lotus reliability woes

Tony Fernandes has urged his Lotus team to 'maintain standards' and to properly get on top of the reliability problems that continue to cost it finishes. Jarno Trulli had to park his car with a gearbox problem during last weekend's Singapore Grand Prix - an event that saw the Italian racing with the Toro Rossos and Renaults before being hit by Jaime Alguersuari, and Heikki Kovalainen beat Vitaly Petrov's Renault in the straight fight

Solberg not expecting Citroen orders

Rally of France victory contender Petter Solberg does not believe he will be put under any pressure to move aside for Citroen factory driver Sebastien Ogier. The Norwegian moved past Ogier and into the lead on the day's penultimate test, before Mini's Dani Sordo jumped them both on SS8. The trio are covered by just 2.8 seconds going into day two, and Solberg said he had no intention of making life easier for Ogier.

Mike Ryan Drifts His Pikes Peak Freightliner, Video Is Epic

To most folks, semi trucks are merely society?s beasts of burden?the unemotional, unwieldy, and unsexy polar opposites of race cars. This is why we so dearly love the FIA’s truck-racing series, which sees purpose-built rigs comically (they can’t help it) duking it out on track, and it is precisely why we can’t stop watching the [...]
