Motorsports Monday: Action-Packed Weekend In IndyCar, DTM, NASCAR & More (VIDEO)

by Ryan ZumMallenon 06.17.2013 14:54

IndyCar Series – Milwaukee IndyFest: The 2013 IndyCar season has been a campaign ripe with Cinderella stories, intense pack racing and bitter battles for front position. The short one-mile track in Milwaukee combined with that furious atmosphere to create a 250-lap race with its fair share of action. Teammates Ryan Hunter-Reay and Marco Andretti battled for the lead through most of the race, as the defending series champion tried to wrestle momentum away from perhaps the hottest driver in IndyCar at the moment. An electrical failure prevented Andretti from challenging for the win, but their fight was a fascinating look into a possible championship duel down the line.

Andretti’s misfortune left the gate open for Hunter-Reay, who would hold off current points leader Helio Castroneves and 2012 runner-up Will Power for the victory. Hunter-Reay, the most unstoppable driver in the series when on top of his game, has now won twice this year. It was the first podium in a troubled season for Power, who has struggled to regain the form that made him the most fearsome driver in IndyCar for four straight seasons. Still, he sits only in 11th place in the standings. Castroneves leads Hunter-Reay by 16 points and Andretti by 50 heading into the Iowa Corn Indy 250 next weekend. Check out this highlight video of the Milwaukee race, after the jump. More...

2014 Porsche LMP1 Le Mans Racecar Unveiled In Testing

by Ryan ZumMallenon 06.12.2013 16:08

As anticipation builds for the 2013 Le Mans 24 Hour race this weekend, Porsche has made a huge splash by unveiling the car they will race in the 2014 running of the famed endurance race. The as-yet-unnamed prototype debuted in camouflage after a test session at the Weissach test track, and looks well on its way to completion. But can it tangle with the likes of Toyota and Le Mans superpower Audi?

Porsche is decidedly mum on nearly all details concerning the new LMP1 car, including everything from the rear design to the powertrain inside. What we do know is that the car will mark their return to the top level of Le Mans racing for the first time in 16 years. That, and its test drivers are very, very happy. More...

Motorsports Monday: Canada Kind To Vettel, Red Bull (VIDEO)

by Ryan ZumMallenon 06.10.2013 11:57

Formula One – Canadian Grand Prix: Formula One is an organization of tradition. These traditions may change or evolve over the years, but mostly the teams play to their roles. On Sunday, some top programs continued their incredible success while one impressive streak came to an end. Sebastian Vettel dominated from the start to capture the win for Red Bull, while on the other end of the spectrum the esteemed McLaren team ended their streak of 64 consecutive races with a point. Sergio Perez and Jenson Button finished 11-12 and were never in contention, marking an unceremonious fall from grace for the famed British squad. The day belonged to Vettel, though, who took his third win of the season and his first ever on the scenic Montreal circuit. He lapped the entire field except for four drivers, and his only hiccups were a quick brush with the Turn 11 wall and a quick off in Turn 1. Other than that, the drama was all behind Vettel. More...

by Ryan ZumMallenon 03.13.2013 15:07

The ultimate sports car will sport a new look and wider body on racetracks around the world this year, as the 2013 Porsche 911 GT3 R has made its official debut before taking to the circuit.

Just because we’ve already seen the new 991 GT3 road car, recently debuted in Geneva, doesn't mean the 997 GT3 race car has to meet its end. The new 2013 GT3 R will be the final version of the car in its older, 997 guise. Porsche updated the look by widening the front and rear fender flares for a more muscled look. More...
