Image: Goodwood Road & RacingThe annual Goodwood Members’ Meeting is certainly one of the best vintage events on the earth, drawing a few of the biggest talent and iron on 4 wheels to 1 place. This yr’s Graham Hill Trophy race featuring early-Nineteen Sixties GT racing cars was among the many rowdier events on the schedule, because it was packed to the gills with big engine Cobras, Jaguar E-types, and Corvettes, with a couple of bantam-weight Porsches and Lotuses thrown in to maintain things vigorous.

The pattern is inextricably linked to Porsche history. Likewise, furniture design owes much of what it’s today to Ray and Charles Eames. Back in 1948, the Eames brothers developed a fiberglass chair that has turn into an icon in its own right. Porsche also began its life in 1948.

Image: Red Bull RacingThe ridiculously talented combination of Max Verstappen driving a automotive designed by Adrian Newey must be stopped, man. They can’t just keep getting away with this. Having secured the 2023 championship with probably the most dominant season in F1 history, these psychopaths aren’t content with best, they need to just smash the competition to pieces. As a substitute of an evolutionary development of last 12 months’s RB19, the 2024 RB20 is a very different aerodynamic concept, and it already looks like Red Bull has gained more pace than the remainder of the grid. It’s only pre-season testing,…
The Nineteen Eighties were good to the manufacturing partnership of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. While Simpson was known as something of a shit heel in Hollywood, he got results, and with Bruckheimer helping him out, those results were value billions. Starting in 1983, when their first film together Flashdance, garnered $201.5 million from a $7 million budget, they were untouchable.

Aston Martin had a good Las Vegas Grand Prix, ending the race with each Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll up within the points-paying positions. Lance even managed to enhance his positions from nineteenth in the beginning to fifth when the checkered flag fell.

Surely friend-of-the-site Matt Farah gave Stroll a couple of tips that could find that speed for the race, right? Broadway Star Wendell Pierce Is a True Formula 1 FanJoking…
After I first moved to Cleveland about two years ago, I wasn’t exactly enthralled with the local automobile gatherings. Any of the massive cars and low type events got overrun with revving supercars, kids in search of TikTok clout, and hooligans attempting to turn it right into a sideshow. Many of the cruise-ins are certified boomer bait, complete with “look but don’t touch” signs, restoration documentation in a photograph album, and a crew of oldies in lawn chairs mean mugging anyone who drives a four-cylinder. I knew we could do higher. Walter Isaacson On Elon Musk(s)Photo: Bradley Brownell/JalopnikIn talking with…
