Honda just released this picture of their 2010 SuperGT entry. The Honda HSV-10 GT will replace the Honda NSX and is powered by a 3.4 liter V8 with more than 500bhp. It will debut at the SuperGT opener on the 20 th of March, but I'm sure there will be more info released by Honda before that. This shot already looks promising, and I'm just glad Honda continues their efforts in the SuperGT Series. Man, how hardcore does this car look... -Jeroen Willemsen Spotted on Autoblog

Last year, together with Rod, John Brooks and Antonio, I visited the Spa 24 hour race in Belgium and saw the Donkervoort D8 GT for the first time. I'd heard about it on the internet previously, but when confronted with the real deal, I was amazed how good it looked. The car screamed for a closer look, and I knew I had to visit the company someday -fast forward to last Tuesday. After some email contact with Donkervoort , they invited me to come over and take some pictures of the new factory and...

After four hours of intense racing around Laguna Seca, the 2009 American LeMans season is in the books. I'm once again exhausted from a day of shooting and lugging my gear up and down the mountainous terrain, but I wanted to quickly post some of the day's results before I pass out here......

Just got back to to the hotel here in Monterey after spending the day at the final round of the 2009 American LeMans Series at Laguna Seca. My body is massively sore from hiking around Laguna Seca's scenic hills today, but before I collapse I wanted to post a few quick photos and highlights from the day's practice and qualifying sessions....

Remember the gold ASI continental that was displayed at the SEMA show last year? Meet its bigger brother the ASI Tetsu GTR. This 800bhp monster has all the luxury a guy could ever want. For more pictures of this car, check out the ASI website . Also keep a lookout on their version of the F430, it looks promising. -Jeroen Willemsen

For the past 35 years, the sound of racing engines has reverberated throughout the streets of Long Beach in southern California. The Long Beach Grand Prix is the longest running street race in the USA and any motorsports fan who has attended the race will attest that it's a world class automotive event. This is the second year that I've attended the LBGP. Both times, my primary reason for attending has been to see the American Le Mans race, not the open wheel cars.... In fact, I've yet...

Those of you who read this site on a regular basis and have a decent attention span will be aware that the FIA GT Championship had its 2009 Media Days recently. Not only that but we got a brand new R35 Nissan GT-R for 2010's GT1 events. A new car must mean new rules have been written and agreed, well up to a point. The two days spent at the High Tech Test Track were in part to show what was offer in 2009 and to reveal the plans for 2010. New rules and new cars mean it is goodbye to the current...

I think it's kind of funny how automakers say they will unveil their new models at big auto shows. I always picture a a cover being whisked awayas flash bulbs fire at the just-revealed car, but it lately it seems that's not really how it is. The new 2010 Mustang was said to be revealed at this month's LA Auto Show, but here we are with the fully revealed car long before the show opens it doors. I guess that's just how things are in today's times. Anyways, on to the new 'Stang....

For some the world is not enough, same goes for certain car owners. To cater those happy few that can buy million dollar cars and turn them into something even more outrageous we have Gemballa. The tuner is situated in Leonberg Germany, that's around 10km from Stuttgart where Porsche themselves are situated. Gemballa made some interesting conversions in the past but I wanted to show you the most extreme one, the Gemballa Mirage GT based on the Porsche Carerra GT. The kit that Gemballa developed...

While I was walking through the paddock on Friday I spotted this car in one of the pit boxes. I recognized the car as a Donkervoort D8 GT. It's the first Donkervoort with a carbon fiber hardtop. The car weighs about 650kg and you can choose between three types of engines. All the engines are built by Audi and the most powerful one has 270hp. All cars are built in Holland in a town called Lelystad were they opened a brand new production facility in 2000......

Hey everyone, we're here at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit in Belgium. The 2008 Total 24 Hours race at Spa is just about to begin, so I just thought I'd go up to the media center to show you all some photos of the on-track action over here. These particular pics were taken during practice yesterday. Check out this photo from the Les Combes section of the massive Spa Circuit. Porsche Bi-turbo (that's what they call twin turbo cars here in Europe) 996 GT2-R vs Corvette Z06...

Following our Exclusive image last week, we have more details on the new Falken sponsored Ford GT-R, which had a relatively successful debut in the American Le Mans Series last weekend. Drivers, Anthony Lazzaro and Tim Pappas, finishing 8th in highly competitive GT2 class. It didn't set the world alight, but this new car has little development and no factory backing from Ford. In addition, the team only received the car on the morning of practice! The Ford GT-R was born in March 2006 when Oliver...

The car is built by Doran Racing and runs in GT2. Keep watching Speedhunters for more on this car! Photo: Marshall Pruett
