24 Hours of Le Mans: The return of Porsche to the pinnacle of sports car road racing is right around the corner, now that the vaunted marque has completed construction of a massive new workshop and plans to roll out their new LMP1 entry in mid-2013.

V8 Supercars - Will Davison
ALMS - Aston Martin Vantage GTE
NASCAR - Chevrolet SS
V8 Supercars – Sydney Telstra 500: Will Davison won the battle, but Jamie Whincup won the war. Davison used a quick move to dart into the lead on the second lap of the Sydney Telstra 500 (highlights here), and stayed out in front for all 74 laps to bring a much-needed win to Ford. Whincup stayed back and finished in fifth to clinch his fourth championship in five years, cementing his status as one of the greatest drivers in the history of the Australian series. Craig Lowndes finished second to secure second place in the championship. Nissan and Mercedes-Benz are expected to field entries next season. Here's a hilarious video of a damaged car slamming into the medical car, just to close out the season in style... More...

If you concentrate real hard, you can smell the salty breeze of the Pebble Beach Concours wafting toward all car nuts, bringing along its annual splendor of stunning new models that this year includes the McLaren 12C Can-Am Edition track car – the most focused rendition of the MP4-12C road car that McLaren has made thus far.
Is it necessary? No, not in the least. Is it practical? Maybe if you think a car that will never see public roads is practical. Is it awesome? Why yes, it is indeed awesome, packing a 630 horsepower twin-turbo V8 into a 2,645 lb. body that will attack road courses with a 30-percent increase in downforce over the standard MP4-12C. And we thought the MP4-12C Spider deserved praise. More...
