Lyfe Motorsports from Utah went to australia this year:



They threw all that aero on it at the last minute so I'm a little worried they're going to be off the pace. Last year team america tried to finish putting their car together after they got there and didn't even turn a lap. Protip for anyone interested in time attack: you have to test.

That dude Cole with Lyfe went to my high school and was a year younger than me. I didn't know him but a lot of mutual friends do. His first car was like a geo storm, then he got an STi and went from there.

Oh the back too!



The irony of having fast and furious airbrushed poorly on a vehicle that's electronically limited to 60mph. Though I suppose there are some similarities in that like the drag races in the films, the races between trucks trying to overtake each other also take 15 minutes and involve 30 gear changes.

The Flying Star is loving beautiful. I know of a bunch of Lamborghinis and the Miura is mostly known as being the prettiest one so I went digging. Seems they've put out a few pretty cars over the years in concept form if nothing else. Also the 70s wedge style of car is probably my favourite 'genre' of car and the Bravo is the perfect example of it IMO.

Special mention to the Maserati Boomerang from 1971, particularly for the coolest steering wheel setup the world has ever loving seen or will ever see





The Alfa Romeo Carabo from 1968 which was actually the first car to feature 'Lambo' doors. Even the logo had them. It was also the first of the wedge designs which inspired designers for nigh on 20 years.





And an rear end that was too loving rad for this world.




1970's Lancia Stratos Zero




And 1970's Dome Zero from Japan which was a Lancia Stratos HF before the Lancia Stratos HF.

That's real pretty. I forgot a lot of things! Another of my favourites being the Mazda RX500. Rotary. Breadvan.







The rear light setup was designed this way so when the car was accelerating the lights would move up and up to hit the top green lights, under braking would move down to the reds kinda like a graphic EQ. Pointless but cool as poo poo.
