  2. Very unfortunate, this and now the crash at Lime Rock in CT, as well. RIP

     

     

    they come in 3s..... News came in also that driver Wolf Sylvester died at the Nurburgring while racing a VLN event also on Saturday. He had a heart attack while driving...

     

    I'm not one for superstition but Saturday was Dan Wheldon's birthday....... I only know that because it's one of my little brothers' bday also

  3. He looked a little squirmy the whole video parts where he was alive still

     

    yup... Track was still pretty wet, causing the squirminess likely

     

    Oliver Gavin (the driver of the onboard Vette from the video I posted) said that the AF Corse Ferrari spun (you can see Gavin go by that spun ferrari at 00:15)and that may have distracted Simmonsen during that corner... Distraction + damp track are always a bad mix

  4. Sux to see something like that, but something must be wrong with the car. Car seems twitches in the turns.

     

     

    there's still no official word on what happened but it looks very much like driver error. The track was lightly wet from some rain and it looks like his loaded tire was on that blue part of the track so maybe he just lost grip.....

     

    It could though be a mechanical failure...The Astons are the cars to beat in GTE Pro class

  5. Danish racer Allan Simonsen has died following a crash less than 10mn into this year's LeMans 24hr race, going on right now

     

    here's the onboard from the car following him at the time of his crash at Tertre Rouge (the corner before the LONG Mulsanne straight)

     

     

     

     

    his twitter "professional racecar driver, living the dream..."

    all of these feels cannot be contained

     

    Following the death of NASCAR driver Jason Leffler, especially this is hard

  6. Wait, is the Scirocco being sold here finally? If it is, I'm trading in the MS3 on an R model. I've been drooling over those for a few years.

     

    No, no plans so far...AFAIK

     

    ...as Anson said, it was a VWOA owned vehicle that Road&Track writer got to borrow and brought to that event

  7. It looks staggered to me, the rears are def wider than the front and the front brakes look BIG, bigger than the current Brembos imo.

     

    Mallard, what's the hitch about?? They actually do test towing on cars like this?? Maybe just helps to attach the camo to hide the car better??

     

    to help do accel testing, transmission durability, also actual towing performance (remember, Europeans tow more than Americans with non-trucks)

  8. so you just set a new lap record of 131.6mph over the Isle of Man so what do you want to do?

    "tonight I'm gonna get assholed " at 1:54

    I assumed that means get shitfaced for us 'mericans

     

     

    also, a cool dude
