Mad drifting skills video from Forza 2

This video shows that yes you can tandem drift around the lovely Forza 2 tracks. The filmaking is pretty impressive for just using game footage. Check out the Forza site to see how they made this film. There are also some cool drifting tutorials on their site too. At least you don't have to pay for the tires and nitrous when you're drifting in the Forza 2 world. Cheers. [video source - YouTube]

Factory Five GTM Supercar

The Factory Five GTM Supercar delivers monstrous performance for a reasonable price. 0-60 in 3.0 seconds, 0-100 in 6.6 seconds, and 1/4 mile in 11.0 seconds @ 132 mph! What does it cost you ask? The kit price starts at $19,990 and they are currently offering $2,000 off too. You would still need a Corvette donor engine as well as other parts (full list on their site). If you find out that a 6'6" tall person can fit, please let me know. YouTube seems to have loads of videos about them too. Cheers. [image source - wikimedia.org]

Targa Newfoundland rally

From this video, the Targa Newfoundland rally looks quite fun and intense too. Seven days of cruising through Newfoundland looks like it's both a blast and very exhausting too. If you'd like to have a go at it the dates for 2009 are September 12th through the 19th. Jump here for more info. Cheers. [video source - YouTube]

Gallardo Super Trofeo rocks the Vallelunga Race Track outside Rome

The all new Gallardo Super Trofeo showed some impressive performance on the Vallelunga Race Track outside Rome. Lamborghini test driver Giorgio Sanna behind the wheel put it through its paces. The slicks cannot be changed during a 40 minute race so it was a good chance to see how they would hold up. The first race of the world’s fastest single-brand competition is set to be run on 2 May 2009 at Silverstone. The team was feeling good about the tuning, car, and the tires. “We are well within our schedule, and will continue to push things forward,” says Manfred Fitzgerald, who is Director of Brand and Design for Lamborghini and responsible for the Super Trofeo. “Ultimately, we want to provide our teams with a race car that is not only fast, but also perfectly reliable.” Starting in May, the Super Trofeo will make guest appearances at six race events – at Silverstone (UK), on the Adria Raceway (Italy), on the Norisring (Germany), in Spa (Belgium), in Barcelona (Spain) and on Paul Ricard racetrack (France).

Here's more info about this amazing car. The Super Trofeo race car is based on the Gallardo LP 560-4, powered by the new 5.2 litre V10 with direct fuel injection (IDS), generating an increased output of 419 kW (570 hp). Its power flows through the e.gear six-speed robotized gear box to the permanent all-wheel drive with viscous traction – the kind of power transmission perfectly suited to motorsport.

The Super Trofeo is a top-class race car in every detail. Its chassis, featuring double wishbone suspension all round, has been reworked specifically for the purpose. The competition tyres are supplied by Pirelli and a specialist racing brake system provides brutal stopping power with racing ABS. Additional body components such as the large, adjustable rear wing are made from carbon-fibre composite. The cockpit incorporates an ultra-light race seat, a racing steering wheel and additional specialized racing instruments.

See you at the track. ;) Cheers. [source - Lamborghini]
