hell... i wish he'd of stayed with McLaren!!! him and the kid would be unstoppable.Kimi was one second off per kiliometer of the top runners at the WRC rally in Finland. Pretty incredible considering it is his first rally also in the Fiat Punto which is not nearly as good as Loeb’s Pug/Cit.
I sure wish Kimi was in a Brawn (or Newey) car because Ferrari slipped when Brawn left - same thing after he left Bennton.

Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Racing, will receive the 10th annual International Motor Racing Research Center Cameron R. Argetsinger Award at a gala on Sept. 12 at the Corning Museum of Glass. The IMRRC said the award is in recognition of Brown's contributions advancing and improving the sport of motor racing. Established in 2014, the CRA Award -- named in honor of the man who, in 1948, conceived, organized and drove in the first post-war road race in America through Watkins Glen -- had been presented at gala events at the CMOG through 2019, honoring such legends of the sport as Chip Ganassi, Roger Penske, Mario Andretti, Richard Petty, the France Family and Bobby Rahal. When the pandemic hit, the event moved first to Watkins Glen International, then to the Harbor Hotel in Watkins Glen, recognizing Lyn St. James, Mike Helton and Richard Childress through 2023. The gala is open to the public. All proceeds benefit the IMRRC, a 501(c)(3) organization.

Hard-to-get parts brought an end to the Viper’s racing career. Its replacement is a little unexpected, but the TCR-tuned Beetle is plenty rowdy.

Gordon Murray T50 EPIC On-Board launch 0-280KMH!! Crazy V12 sound at SOC 2024

The incredible and unrepeatable Gordon Murray Automotive T50 hypercar, surely the ultimate driver’s car, seen here at the Supercar Owners Circle 10th Anniversary. The car is powered by a 4L naturally-aspirated 654 bhp Cosworth V12 engine and sounds absolutely unbelievable. Huge thanks to the owner for allowing me to join!
Located in the Texas Panhandle, about an equidistant five-hour drive between Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Dallas, Texas, the city of Amarillo doesn’t have a huge claim to fame outside of an occasional country ditty, the 10 half-buried vehicles known as Cadillac Ranch, and a 72-ounce steak challenge. Now, you can add a go-kart facility to that list. 
Just 20 minutes east of Amarillo is a track built in the likeness of the 19-turn Instabul circuit that former F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone once called “the best race track in the world.” The Turkish GP has been part of the F1 schedule nine times since 2005. The Texas version saw construction begin in 2012 of what would eventually be a nearly one-mile-long track.
A passion project of local orthopedic surgeon (and obvious Formula One fan) Thane Morgan, the go-kart track wasn’t initially open to the public. Instead, the exclusive Morgan family circuit was built to indulge his children and like-minded racing friends. The venue didn’t hold a competitive race until 2017, when the Texas ProKart Challenge brought 80 to 100 competitors to the panhandle.

In 2022, the Amarillo Kart Circuit was sold to three brothers — Kyle, Brad, and Joe Yuchinski. They conducted a massive renovation of the once-private facility into a more event- and public-friendly entertainment destination. This included adding 20,000 sq. ft. of asphalt, a covered grid area, a revamped track exit, a scoring tower, an elevated viewing platform, security fencing, bathrooms, showers, and a new pro shop with rental spaces. The newly-dubbed Amarillo Kart Complex opened in May 2023.
But just 11 months later, the whole lot is up for sale. No word on whether the Yuchinski brothers plan to stay on board as management while letting someone else handle the ownership business. The real estate listing shows an on-market date of June 18, 2024, with an asking price of $2 million. Don’t worry, there are living quarters onsite.
