The SUPER GT season-opener at Suzuka last weekend was an incredibly exciting start to the season, though one of heavy loss to the Honda Racing team. Having started out so promisingly with pole position on the car's debut, the #18 HSV-010 GT was in the wars just a handful of laps into the 300-km event. Ironically, pole-sitter Takashi Kogure, trying
Here's another quick update from the Super GT series in Japan. This time SGT was back at Fuji Speedway over the weekend for the seventh round of the 2009 season.

Rod pointed out to me that there was a big meeting over at the Eibach headquarters in the USA. After some searching I found a whole bunch of nice pictures from some members on the NWP4LIFE forum. Looking at the pictures I'm really jealous, the pure quality of the builds is something I can only dream of seeing here in Holland. I used to drive a EG
The North American International Auto Show in takes place in Detroit this week. A number of manufactures including Nissan have pulled out, but despite this, there are some cool new production and concept cars. First up, we have the Volkswagen Concept Blue Sport. Although a concept, the mid-engined rear wheel drive roadster looks production ready and

I figured that this shot of a legendary EK9 Civic Type R undergoing some work in the paddock would be good way to open this post.
