Team owner Kazumichi Goh, who won Le Mans with an Audi R8 in 2004 (pictured above), has revealed that he has aspirations to race again at the blue-riband round of the FIA World Endurance Championship following the announcement of his plans for a Super GT300 campaign with the McLaren 720S GT3 in 2019 . He has stressed that he is back in motorsport for the long haul and has admitted that he is already evaluating how to return to Le Mans for the first time since 2009. "I do have the aim to return to Le Mans somewhere down the line and we're looking at all options," Goh told Motorsport.com. "We'd like to challenge for the overall win again, but we're not ruling out LMP2." Goh revealed that his organisation is monitoring the new hypercar concept prototype rules due come into force in the WEC for the 2020/21 season. "I've put a couple of guys on watching the regulations and we believe that the estimated budget is sustainable for a privateer," he said. He hasn't ruled … [Read more...] about Team Goh eyes up Le Mans return

This Huracan Spyder is absolutely evil with 1,088 hp
The front and rear bumpers are complete replacements for the stock parts, and the wing takes inspiration from the Countach. The tuner DMC specializes in doing wild things to high-end vehicles , and the company doesn’t deviate from that talent with its latest project – the crazy Huracán Edizione-GT Spyder. In addition to the new body kit, the blue beast packs 1,088 horsepower (811 kilowatts) and 738 pound-feet (1,000 Newton-meters) of torque from a highly upgraded biturbo V10. The Edizione-GT Spyder uses DMC’s Stage 4 tuning kit, and its results are impressive. The roadster can reach 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) in a claimed 2.69 seconds – versus 3.4 seconds for a stock Huracán Spyder . Top speed also grows to 214 mph (354 kph) from 201 mph (324 kph) in factory trim . While the biturbo setup grabs headlines, the company also upgrades the engines internals so that the parts can take the extra power. The gearbox receives similar improvements for handling so … [Read more...] about This Huracan Spyder is absolutely evil with 1,088 hp
Bugatti Chiron Sport, Pur Sport Are All Eye Candy In Paris Photo Shoot
Bugatti opened its first showroom in the City of Lights. It feels unfair to categorize Bugatti in with any other automaker. It's as high-end and bespoke as one can get. The brand occupies six spots on our " Most Expensive Cars In The World " roundup – and the cheapest requires $3 million. So, it should be no surprise that prospective buyers and Bugatti enthusiasts get opportunities few of us will ever get to experience. One such event took the company to the Paris outskirts for a scenic test drive. "Passionates," as Bugatti calls them, had the chance to test drive two stunning models – the Chiron Sport and the Chiron Pur Sport . The company hosted the event at the Vaux-de-Cernay Abbey, which is about 50 kilometers (31 miles) outside Paris. The proximity to Paris is no accident. Bugatti recently inaugurated a new showroom in the City of Lights, where Ettore Bugatti established the brand's first showroom almost 100 years ago.

Analysis: Covert games in midfield catch the eye as F1 title battle fizzles out
There's a saying among F1 strategists that the faster and more dominant the car, the easier the strategy calls. This is because the margin for error is so large; if you make a mistake the car is fast enough relative to the competition that it is recoverable. The calls made in the tightly-packed midfield are much more finely balanced. The Japanese Grand Prix saw a series of problem decisions for Ferrari in qualifying and the race, while in the midfield we saw an excellent battle between the Force India, Haas, Renault and Toro Rosso cars and some interesting tactics going on. Ferrari vs Mercedes vs Red Bull While it's fair to say that Lewis Hamilton had the edge in Suzuka, there was a second place there for the taking for Sebastian Vettel to keep his slim world championship hopes alive a little longer and he may even have been able to put some pressure on Hamilton in the race, if he had managed to get himself up there in qualifying. Instead, as the dark … [Read more...] about Analysis: Covert games in midfield catch the eye as F1 title battle fizzles out
2022 Nissan Z Spied With Eye-Catching Blue Interior
The rest of the cabin doesn't look production-ready. A newly leaked photo from the Nissan Z Club forum offers a blurry view into the cabin of the next-gen Z (or 400Z depending on what rumor about the model's name that you believe). The interior is in a vibrant shade of blue. The image is fairly fuzzy, but the chairs appear to have faux suede centers and leather bolsters. Commenters on the Nissan Z Club note that this shade of blue is very similar to an upholstery choice for the original 240Z. Gallery: Nissan 400Z Interior Leak 2 Photos This is a pre-production car, and the rest of the cabin looks pretty rough. The dashboard uses very shiny plastic that makes the cabin look very cheap. The dull finish for the gearshift surround isn't any better. The gaps between the panels seem egregiously large, too.
