It was an extraordinary press conference. The kind that left even the greenest of journalists shaking their heads in disbelief at what they had just witnessed. Lance Stroll ’s performance in the pre-Canadian Grand Prix press event was as unconvincing as it was baffling. As he spoke about the presumably optimistic news of being passed fit for his home race , he did so with all the joy of learning that his pet dog had been put down. The Canadian trudged up the stairs to the press room in Montreal like he was on a trip to the dentist for root canal work, where he plonked himself down in front of the media. Instead of beaming and being delighted to be back and fit enough to compete in his home race after being forced to sit out of the Spanish Grand Prix due to a wrist injury , he was incredibly dour in his responses. He was cagey with the details of the wrist problem, cited as the reason he withdrew from the Spanish GP after a disappointing qualifying s...

According to a WWT Raceway spokesperson, drag racer Jason Hoard survived the frightening crash during a high-speed test run on May 31 in preparation for the VP Racing Fuels Heads-Up Shootout Series.

The Italian supercar appears to be rocking a rear wing from Koenig. Painting the original wheels, roof, and pillars was not a good idea. A search of the 512’s license plate confirms it’s a Ferrari, not a replica. Some cars wear their age like a badge of honor. The Ferrari 512 TR, especially with its Pininfarina-designed roots tracing back to the Testarossa , is one of those machines that earned its status the hard way, through sheer presence and performance. So naturally, someone looked at this design icon and thought, “What if I gave it the flavor of a kit car from a used lot in Florida?” The result is a very expensive Ferrari that now resembles a Pontiac Fiero or a Toyota MR2-based replica , depending on how charitable you’re feeling. Read: Ferrari Testarossa Goes Up In Flames In California A pair of photos of the wacky 512 TR were recently shared on Reddit and show just how easy it is t...
