The Genesis

The original modern super car, the one that gave meaning to the phrase 'Lambo doors'.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present the Countach.

One that is still prowling the roads today, menacing everyone with its Kreissieg F1 exhaust.

Video clip coming up soon.

F1 Babe

What can a F1 babe do when not on track ?

Well she can always head for the studio !

Glad this one did :)

Serious GTR Brakes

Alcon’s highly anticipated big brake kit is now out.

Julian got to shoot this lucky GT-R fitted up with its new anchors just last week.

These UK developed brakes are a complete upgrade including some mammoth 6 piston Monobloc front calipers responsible for clamping the upgraded two piece 400×36mm floating rotor assemblies. The rear brakes are also not forgotten and come with 6 piston calipers with 385×33mm rotors with hats that support the GT-Rs handbrake.



Also included in the kit are Pagid brake pads, Castrol SRF brake fluid and steel braided lines for the front and rear.

Price tag? A cool S$18k.

F1 not dead after all

Ong Beng Seng and Singapore government can stop holding their breath now...

An agreement has been reached between Formula 1's governing body and the teams to prevent a breakaway series.

The two parties had been engulfed in a bitter row over planned budgetary and technical changes for the 2010 season.

But it appears a resolution has now been found and, as part of the deal, Max Mosley has agreed not to stand for re-election as president of the FIA.

"There will be no split, there will be one F1 championship. We have agreed to a reduction of costs," said Mosley.

"The objective is to get back to the spending levels of the early 90s within two years."

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone added that he was "very happy common sense has prevailed" following a meeting of 120 members of the FIA in Paris aimed at resolving the crisis.

Ferrari chief president Luca di Montezemolo, head of the Formula One Teams Association (Fota), added: "I think the decisions we have shared this morning are important. We will have the rules of 2009, same rules for everybody.

Vtec Symphony - A S2000 Dyno Event

First ever S2000 dyno event in Singapore held at Uber Garage on June 7.



Dyno in use is the first and only Mainline/Dynolog AWD1500 in Singapore.



18 cars - 13 S2Ks, 4 FD2Rs and 1 RX8 took part in this fun and successful event.

Carbon Clad Cars: From one of my friends who was present, power figures for the S2Ks range from low 200s to almost 300, with everyone going down the NA route (we ain't in the States)



The symphonies of NA engines with different setups woke everyone up on a lazy Sunday. What a blast!

You wanted one of these badly as a kid

I never did watch the original Knight Riders but I finished the season 1 of the remake in record time.

I also developed an irresistible urge to talk to my car and ask it to go into 'attack mode' when I am chasing down other cars on the expressway...



I also wanted to go 88 miles an hour OR go back in time. Whatever I can get my hands on...



What other cars fired up your imagination as a kid (or even now)? See Time magazine's top 10 choices here.

In Case You Are Hiding Underneath A Rock

Can you imagine the unveiling of the true identity of a TV character being covered by major newswires, rival news channels and the such?

Such is the mystique surrounding the Stig. Some say he once punched a horse and that he is illegal across 17 American states...

LONDON (AFP) — Formula One legend Michael Schumacher has been unveiled as "the Stig" -- the mystery man who test drives cars on cult motoring show "Top Gear."

The identity of the white-clad driver is kept a closely guarded secret, but Schumacher, who was Formula One world drivers' champion seven times, finally revealed himself in the first of a new series of the show on Sunday night.

Presenter Jeremy Clarkson pretended not to recognise him at first, asking him what he used to do before he became famous as the Stig, but then excitedly shouted to the studio audience: "It's Michael Schumacher!"

Former Formula One driver Perry McCarthy was Top Gear's original Stig, who dressed all in black during the first two series.

The show is shown in more than 100 countries worldwide.

Sepang Super GT Round Up

Need a Sepang Super GT coverage fix?

The Motul Autech duo of Satoshi Motoyama-Benoit Treluyer had a third straight pole start for Sepang but misfortune struck the Nissan-factory team when their second gear malfunctioned on the warm-up lap. Their car was stranded and had to start the 54-lap race at the back of the grid.



With this bit of luck, Team Hasemi Tomica Ebro GT-R get ahead from the rest to win the Malaysian round of the Super GT for their first win of the season.

When You Are Too Rich

Forget having an Evo as a dedicated track day weapon and a Ferrari as a boulevard cruiser. When you are cashed up enough, this is what you roll in at Sepang.

For the daily commute, its probably an Apache with Hellfire missiles.
