2015 Kia K900 Long-Term Test Update: Serenity Now!

This Kia’s cockpit is a soothing library of motoring doldrums, an isolation pod, a rolling sofa, a tomb of rectitude and silence. It all recollects the interior of, oh, say, a Lexus LS460L. In […]

Mosport Thrills for Skippies
A field of nearly three dozen sim-racers sat on the grid for the 16 lap race at Mosport prior to what would be one of the hardest fought races seen recently. Paul F. Grillo took pole position with a 1:32.731, just two and a half hundredths quicker than Wojciech Swirydwocz. Simon Povey sat in third alongside Sebastian Job, both of whom have yet to win a race this season despite being in fifth and second in the championship respectively. Marc Mercer (also yet to claim a win this season) could only manage tenth on the grid but made up a position almost immediately after the start. Not far behind Mercer, Jonathan Maycock had started in P11 and was keen to follow Mercer’s lead of first lap overtaking by relegating P9 [...]

In 1947, while Bill France was flying over the town of Hillsborough, he saw that there was a dirty horse-race track right next to the Eno River.

The winners of these rounds end up in the finale at Homestead, where these last four drivers race for the winning title of the Sprint Cup. Drivers don’t necessarily have to win to get to Homestead, however. Some might move on to the finale by simply accumulating their points. Kevin Harvick prefers to win at least ...continue reading
