How to do it wrong, by Ken Block
I know, I know. It's easy to sit back in my rocking chair and comment on how Block can't seem to get the rally thing down. I'm not trying to be a hater, just making an observation. Is this the same Ken Block from all those Gymkhana videos that went viral? I guess real life plays differently when you don't get multiple takes to get it right. The good news is that he is ok, a testament to how well rally cars are constructed.
Be an outlaw no more...
Do you long to attack your favorite local road at ludicrous speeds, only to be deterred by the prospect of getting shiny bracelets slapped on? What if there was a way for you to accomplish speeding through small town public roads, except not only it being LEGAL, but ENCOURAGED?
Rolling roads let the good times roll...
These guys really enjoy their Quattro's. What to do on a cold day when you sport a boosted Audi? Why not hang out at the nearest 4 wheel dyno with your family and drink coffee? Obviously it looks a lot cooler when you can edit that day and add some good music...

These guys are HARD CORE! Great cars, great video!
Oh, and in case you needed it (I did), here's a nifty HP - PS converter (plus some other goodies).
VIR - historical data galore....
No argument that VIR is a world-class facility, probably ranking somewhere in the top 5 on the east coast. I encountered this site via a Hemmings tweet and felt compelled to pass it along.
The new M5... the drool starts here...
Ahh, the M5. There are very few cars that stir the soul as effectively as BMW's M5. Maybe the fact that it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. Until that exhaust note hits your ears, you may mistake it for your neighbors vanilla 528i. Ok you may not, but some people would be fooled!
Caterham R500 wet on slicks
You gotta have love for a guy that takes his track days seriously. I've witnessed so called "enthusiasts" pack up their 911's and M3's when it starts raining. This guy paid for his day, and damn it, he's gonna enjoy it. Rain or shine, roof or topless, slicks or full treads.
Rock on buddy, rock on.
Shaken, not stirred..
One look at this clip and you will be convinced. Convinced that Sebring is a really, really rough racing surface. Convinced that Sean Edwards has some fast hands. Convinced that on-board video with no music overlay is the best way to burn thru 4 minutes of otherwise productive work time.
Turn it up and enjoy!
Porsche Club Motorsport
Fee fi fo fum - I smell some hardcore Englishmen!!!
I guess if funds are not an issue, this would be the way to go.
Tanner gets schooled - YEAH, OK...
Nobody likes a wiseass riding shotgun. Funny how a British accent can make anything sound polite.
911 Carrera RSR: BEAST
Forget the fact that this piece is in German. The RSR's sound is a language anyone can understand.
Love the 3-wheelin' action!!!
Europe wins again...
Instead of S14's and Corolla's, these guys prefer BMW's. Sure there are a few JDM rides and American muscle thrown in, but for the most part this is all David Hasselhof meets Vin Diesel.
GT-R vs. NSX, and captions I can't understand...
Please, please, PLEASE someone comment on the captions. I'm dying to know the translation!
Big Rig Rallyin'
Keeping all that tonnage under some semblance of control is impressive. I see they have ample acceleration, handle considerably well, and you have to respect that suspension travel, but how well do you think they stop?
