Grand Prix Rejects

those sidepods and that roll hoop really make the car.
in my opinion the nose is getting a little old, but it's an ok compromise to retain the DW12 safety tub

Honda/HPD's return to IMSA Prototypes as it stands....

i'm definitely rooting for Bordais' title run this year! always wanted to see him tack on another championship to his collection. while everyone's still buzzing about Alonso, i'm kind of interested to see if he may or may not have a crack at the roadcourse at Indy. that chicane in oval turn 1 looks ...

One clear talking point is the remarkable progress of Honda in the off season having been largely outclassed in the last 3 seasons. As Londoner joked during the race it seems we have an answer as to why McLaren have had rubbish testing reliability. I personally think it's similar to the Michelin ti...

LMP2 have a massive 25 cars, however all but 4 of them are either Orecas or Ligiers. Only three Dallaras and one Riley are entered. Ruben Barrichello makes his Le Mans debut! We have presumably the first ever Slovakian entry in ARC Bratislava. all about how cheap and how close they are. i read in R...

look who decided to take some pictures

Testing, Testing! one two three! Testing! m - Dallara "Jumbo" Nederland Racing LMP2 with Barichello at the wheel! m - Oreca 07 Rebellion and JDC-Miller LMP2s m - Ligier JSP217 of PR1 Motorsports m - Cadillac/Dallara DPi-V.R. with the 6.2L GM LT4 V8 from last year's Coyote and Dallara Corve...

dude knows how to wheel a Bimmer round a track! something about that showrun in the hand-controlled '06 Sauber Bimmer must have done something

i don't think he qualifies for handicap parking anymore!

So, it seems that the LMP1 class is due to shrink yet again - after holding out for several years in the privateer class, Rebellion have announced that they will be withdrawing from the LMP1 class and are dropping down into the LMP2 class in 2017. At the moment, however, it is not yet clear which c...

opposing opinion; i'd say Prost knows what that looks like and could determine that he exhibited similar behavior. what i'm NOT saying is that he wouldn't have won it without that move, having been the "WINSLOL" driver this season, just kind of winning the highest volume of races so far. e...

maybe JPM should shuffle his way back to ganassi? that lightning bolt livery is calling him so loudly.....

Bertil Roos set up an amazing racing school, and it was a true honor to be a part of it. he will be missed.

nome66

on an honest note, Haas have it in em to be mid-field this season.

nome66

too bad JPM and Toyota aren't involved..... or for that matter, Zanardi or Honda

nome66

so it IS a reverse F-duct, kinda

i was kind of referencing Mercedes' front wing F-duct design when i said "further back"

nome66

is it just me, or does that car look competitive? can't wait tocheck out the Haas machine Last year's McLaren was a great chassis, just let down by the Honda engine. The chassis base is very good, so with upgrades and hopefully a good Honda on the back, McLaren should be way more competitive than l...

soooo....
an F-duct, but further back and backwards? or is it using an F-duct principle for something else?

nooooo Babini in the Lambroghini!!!!

anyways. race is over. i'm happy that a Honda won and Ganassi with his hype-train of 4 cars across 2 classes did not

it's that time again. the time when the cure for F1 deprivation comes around! so far, Ferrari have a confirmed date at the 19th of February anyone have any information on the other teams? i know they pushed the test days back a week or something, and all the teams want to reveal their cars according...

isn't olympic park getting redeveloped?

Travis Pastrana is back behind the wheel of another nascar team's expensive equipment in the Truck Series race coming up in Las Vegas. i understand the driving force in one's head to want to go compete in different disciplines, but why all the push for nascar? he shows potential, but unfortunately u...

While we're on the subject of circuits... I'm wondering if perhaps the Port Imperial Street Circuit that was designed for the Grand Prix of America that will seemingly never come to fruition, could perhaps be used in Formula E? They're still looking for a circuit in the USA now that Miami isn't ret...

the only thing about the new car that jumps out at me are the side intakes and that's it, really. otherwise looks like the old 458 with replaced headlights. so, are the GTE/GTLM cars like the old GT2 machines? they seem a bit quicker than GT3's, but i haven't really seen any direct comparisons apart...

nome66

looks almost like the old GD.01 machine they almost used in '95

...aaand no more Trulli train Trulli steps down from racing in FE Understandable really, but still a shame IMO. I was looking forward to him being blindingly fast in qualifying and then slow as a snail in the race, holding everyone up from pole he brought new method to being a rolling chicane. norm...

i think Karam needs two extra seasons of Pro Mazda and Indy Lights. Honestly, he needs a good punch in the face. poor Ganassi hired a guy that clearly can't handle the pressure of being on a big-money team. it's as if Mercedes hired a pizza delivery driver. He's already an Indy Lights champion thou...

kurt needs to tell his younger brother to listen to his damn crew chief. well deserved win for Kenseth, though.

very well deserved win for Graham Rahal. congrats.
very well deserved ROTR for Charlie Kimbal for spinning off 3 times, twice in the same corner. congrats.

come on, Colletti, this aint rallycross. that's twice in 4 laps he's off and saved

STARTED CLASS TODAY! so awesome. the Bertil Roos guys are a good set of instructors. we did some classroom time and notes, drove boring stock road legal sedans around the track to get affiliated with surroundings and the basic line. then we did some track walks, and finally to end the first day, we ...

likely a long-shot, but my fingers are crossed for this layout in Paris.

i won't fully enjoy the new battlebots show unless they include Grant Imahara (of mythbusters and older battlebots fame) as a guest host or something.

nome66

wonder how much one of those chassis would auction for?
and hey, more BOSS GP entries for next season!

nome66

yeah man i've voted for speed and piquet to watch em do some open-wheel rallycross.
