Hill climbing?
It cannot be easy being a modern racing driver called Hill. Every Formula 1 driver who has had that name surname has been a World Champion: and there have been three of them: Phil Hill won the World Championship in 1961. Graham Hill won in 1962 and 1968, and Damon Hill won in 1996. Phil [...]

Ferrari F70 Partially Revealed in a Leaked Magazine Image
We know the 2013 Geneva Motor Show is set to start next week, but most of you - us included - are tired of all that waiting and really want to see what the Enzo successor, also known as the F70 or the F150 - will look like. If you are a part of this group, we have found something pretty cool for you: a leaked image from the March 2013 issue of Quattroroute Magazine that seems to reveal part of the new F70.
As you can see, the supercar will feature the same headlight style as the 458 Italia, a large front grille and a carbon fiber front spoiler. Also obvious is that monstrous front fender arch that will obviously help channel airflow in a way to increase downforce.
Unfortunately, this is pretty much all the image revealed, but it?s still good enough to help us get a slightly better idea on the upcoming F70. Some people are claiming that this is simply a rendering, but why would it be hiding under a sheet if it is only a rendering? We think this is the real deal, folks.
We will find out if this is real or not next week when the car is finally unveiled in Geneva.

Domenicali: We Won?t Be Fastest In Australia
Ferrari team principle Stefano Domenicali believes that Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa will face a tough start to the season in Australia. The F138 has looked relatively impressive in pre-season testing, which certainly a move in the right direction given the problems ahead of the 2012 campaign. But, Domenicali confessed that there is still work [...]

Audi R8 GTR by ABT Sportsline
ABT Sportsline always makes some noise at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show and this year, you better get ready because the German aftermarket company is prepared to drop the boom.
With a number of programs headed to the biggest auto show of the year, ABT Sportsline is determined to show the gathered masses that it’s one of the best Audi tuners in the world. And what better way to prove that point by bringing a new program for the German brand’s resident supercar: the [http://www.topspeed.com/cars/audi/2013-audi-r8-v10-ar132905.html].
The GTR program for the R8 GT was actually developed sometime back, but the one that’s going to Geneva is a revised version that features new and exciting modifications. With every intention of shaving off some weight to make the R8 lighter and faster, ABT Sportsline fitted the German supercar with a new carbon-fiber aero kit that includes a new hood, front and rear aprons, new side skirts and a rear wing. With all these new components in tow, ABT was able to shave 242 pounds off of the R8, no small feat for a car that now weighs just 3,340 pounds. Rounding out the exterior mods include a set of 19-inch forged alloy wheels a new stainless-steel exhaust system, and a coil-over sports suspension with adjustable dampers.
For the engine - the unquestioned highlight of the GTR program - ABT Sportsline did its usual array of magic tricks on the R8’s 5.2-liter FSI engine, increasing the output from 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque all the way up to an impressive 620 horsepower and 405 pound-feet of torque.
With these modifications, the German supercar is now capable of hitting 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds - three-tenths of a second faster than the production model. It is capable of hitting a top speed of 202 mph, a significant job from the standard R8’s 193 mph top speed.

'The point of no confidence is quite near'
 The wreckage of Jochen Rindt's car at Barcelona |
?Colin. I have been racing F1 for 5 years and I have made one mistake (I rammed Chris Amon in Clermont Ferrand) and I had one accident in Zandvoort due to gear selection failure otherwise I managed to stay out of trouble. This situation changed rapidly since I joined your team. ?Honestly your cars are so quick that we would still be competitive with a few extra pounds used to make the weakest parts stronger, on top of that I think you ought to spend some time checking what your different employes are doing, I sure the wishbones on the F2 car would have looked different. Please give my suggestions some thought, I can only drive a car in which I have some confidence, and I feel the point of no confidence is quite near.?A little more than a year later Rindt's Lotus suffered mechanical breakdown just before braking into one of the corners. He swerved violently to the left and crashed into a poorly-installed barrier, killing him instantly.
