Mercedes Benz Is Pronounced Regarding Purchase Of Ducati
As the law of cause and effect, corporate acquisitions also have their consequences, and in this sense the purchase of Ducati by Audi is no exception. In this case the “collateral damage” is especially funny, because it means that the German giant now officially owns Mercedes Benz AMG few, or something like that. Before the [...]

Garage House In Tokyo Subway Cars Placed Directly Into The Living
If there is something I like even more than cars are modern art and design (although I do something completely different), so it’s not hard to imagine how I envy disfigured face when I saw these images. Because you have to make something clear, one thing is the love you have for cars is quite [...]
The logic of a budget cap
More than ever before Formula 1 racing would benefit from a budget cap. Those who argue against such an idea are simply protecting vested interests, or at least they think they are, as they probably have more to gain from saving money, rather than trying to win cash. The current situation, in which the Formula [...]

Hey Kenny, Tone It Down A Bit
We first reported this week that Travis Pastrana would be making his NASCAR Nationwide Series debut with RAB Racing�(or the team’s points at least). The deal was an obvious one for Pastrana 199 Racing to secure a guaranteed starting spot for the rookie driver. This, and other deals, leave Kenny Wallace out of a ride, [...]

Joey Logano wins Nationwide race after bumping Elliott Sadler from the lead and out of race
For the second straight Nationwide race, Joey Logano went from being on the back bumper of the race leader in the closing laps to victory lane. It's just that the circumstances Friday night at Darlington were a bit different than they were at Talladega.
Six days after slingshotting around Kyle Busch right before the checkered flag, Logano restarted in third, directly behind race leader Elliott Sadler with five laps to go on Friday. As the green flag flew, Logano started pushing Sadler in an attempt to leave second-place car Denny Hamlin out to dry. However, Sadler didn't get going as well as Logano did, and the contact wobbled his car and into Hamlin on the outside line.
The contact turned Sadler into the wall and ended his night.
"First off I want to apologize to Elliott," a subdued Logano said in victory lane. "That was obviously not on purpose. We worked so well together at Talladega last week that we were helping each other again there it seemed like and I pushed him ahead on the restart before and got him out front. I was going to do the same thing and I guess he was just spinning his tires still and I was trying to push him ahead and car got squirrely and he starts right."
Sadler, who is racing for the Nationwide Series points championship again after finishing second last year to Ricky Stenhouse Jr., was out front late because of a two-tire pit stop. Hamlin, who finished second after losing a cylinder on the green-white-checker finish, dominated the race, leading by as much as six seconds before the caution flag flew with 19 laps to go.

Evo's Harry Metcalfe drives the stunning Pagani Zonda 760 RS
 |
Up until this point, we?ve only been able to show you a couple of low-quality teasers of the Pagani Zonda 760 RS, a car which defines what a supercar should be all about as it?s the most powerful car ever produced up until now. However, today we have something very, very special for you.
Not only have a few incredible pictures of the car been officially released, Pagani owner and Evo Magazine owner Harry Metcalfe was lucky enough to drive this one-off piece of automotive art on some incredible Italian country roads.
The video is yet another one of the Evo Diaries series and is undoubtedly the most exquisite one they have ever done. The test begins off with Harry following the 760 RS in one of just a couple Zonda prototypes, which has evolved since the very first 6.0-liter V-12 up until its current 7.3-liter spec very similar to the unit fitted to the Cinque.
Despite the incredible prototype being extremely unique by itself, the 760 RS is something else entirely. Harry confirms that it cost the Chilean owner 1.6 million pounds or the equivalent of $2.5 ?Benjamins.? Nope, your eyes are not tricking you, that is in fact twice the price of the Huayra, and Metcalfe points out that the 760 RS is a very similar car to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, while the Huayra could be considered as an extreme 911 Turbo.
Metcalfe goes on to confirm in the final seconds of the video that Lewis Hamilton did in fact purchase a 760 dubbed the ?760 LH? just like we reported, so hopefully some photos of that will be released in due course.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: ?I feel like I?m the best?
KANSAS CITY, Kan. ? In all fairness to Jimmie Johnson's run of five straight championships, if you were to say "the streak" when talking about NASCAR, we all know what's going to pop into the majority of NASCAR fans minds: Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s winless drought.
The streak still lives, by the way. It's at 136 races and counting and has led to every Junior joke and one-liner imaginable. But through it all, Junior still maintains that he's the best. Yes, and that includes the five-time champion.
"No, he's a hell of a race car driver, but I feel like I'm the best," Junior said on Friday. "I think that's the way you have to feel. I feel that I'm smarter than everybody and I can drive better than everybody and I know a lot of people ain't going to agree with that, but I feel pretty strong about it."
Given his performance this year, he should. Junior is tied for second in the points standings, and as we said earlier this year, a win is very very close.
And honestly, it may be more noteworthy if Junior said that he wasn't the best. It's an essential attribute to have for a driver ? you can't win a championship, let alone a race, unless you feel you're capable of doing so. Junior does say that there is a hierarchy at Hendrick Motorsports, but that it's about tenure.
"There is a bit of a pecking order and it really comes down to what you've done lately," Junior said. "I think that Jimmie and Jeff [Gordon] will always carry a certain role in that company that I will probably never achieve just due to them being there that long and having that trust build up with Rick [Hendrick] and all the employees there and their accomplishments obviously. I've never felt that was a disadvantage to me. I felt like I have everything they have. I've had the same opportunity and I've never really felt like Jimmie's car was better than mine or his team was better than mine or somebody was getting something I wasn't getting. I've never really had that feeling because everything there is just so good."
