While promoting Jeep products must have been a boring chore for Ferrari’s F1 drivers Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa, we’re pretty sure they had a good time competing against Ducati Moto GP’s Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden in a series of races held on ice. Vehicles of choice were the ever entertaining karts and some sweet looking Fiat 500s. Highlights in the video after the break.
Now here's something you don't see every day. Sent in by Carscoop reader Łukasz Ż, this enjoyable time-waster of the day pits a motorcycle against a rear-wheel drive sports car in an out of the ordinary drift challenge. In one corner we have Nick "Apex" Brocha of Icon Motorsports piloting a 2005 Kawasaki ZX10 with 175HP and an extended swingarm. In the other corner is professional racecar driver Jim Guthrie in a 1993 Mazda RX-7 powered by a 375HP Corvette V8 engine. The result? Follow the jump to find out.
Inevitably, you can’t have motorsports without accidents and 2010 was a pretty eventful year in this area. Motors TV has compiled two clips with scary incidents from a variety of motorsports, ranging from motorcross to speedboat racing. Hit the jump to watch the videos.
As a car lover, I regard the bicycle the same way a steak eater may regard tofu: I’m okay with it if that’s your thing, just keep it the heck away from me. However, sculptor and bespoke builder Josh Hadar may change my attitude to bicycles. You see, his bikes aren’t the sort of things ridden by tight buttocked men in spandex suits: these are works of art, pure and simple.
Hadar builds all of his bikes to order from his Manhattan studio and individually tailors them to the buyer’s body. Sort of like an Armani suit, except made of steel. Each bike purportedly costs between US$12,000 and US$35,000 and can take up to three months to make.
I think the one pictured above is my favorite. It’s called Eric’s Teardrop and it's nickel clad rolled steel with hand-spun aluminium wheels. Oh and that glass bit in the middle? That’s the fuel tank for the 80cc engine, and is made by hand, just like everything else.
You think Josh would make me a wireframe Bugatti Veyron?
