If you have not watched the 2014 Bathurst 1000 yet, find a way to do so. You'll thank me later. Yes, it is an 8-hour race this year. Took me a week but I'm glad I watched every minute of it.

ENGLISH BELOW Comme certains d'entre vous le savent, je passe environ la moitié de mon temps en Europe pour le travail. Comme je suis un addict certifié, et qu'ici les circuits et routes magnifiques sont innombrables, j'ai décidé de m'acheter une voiture le fun, pour utilisation circuit et...

One more reason to run a full-face with the visor down while on track (my previous reason was gravel and especially chunks of tire entering the cockpit through open window). Some things are unavoidable. http://ca.autoblog.com/2012/06/18/corvette-z06-destroyed-after-hitting-a-deer-on-track/ I...

Hey guys, As some of you know, I'm looking at C5 Z06 'vettes and most of the good ones are in the ol' US of A. The cars I want to buy have some of the following modifications, usually not much to worry me re: importing, but still: - Suspension - Oil coolers, Accusump, etc. - Racing bucket...
