This year’s Detroit Sports Car Classic delivered the kind of classic, chaotic racing that can only occur when you stuff more than 20 prototypes and GT3 cars into a narrow, tight street circuit for 100 minutes. The second and final sprint race of the IMSA season was relatively tame for the most part — until things hit the fan in the closing stages. The No. 31 Whelen Cadillac, driven by Earl Bamber and Jack Aitken, ran away with the overall victory, making good on their strong practice and qualifying pace. In GTD Pro, the No. 3 Corvette of Alexander Sims and Antonio Garcia did the same, converting pole position into a dominant class win after leading a staggering 75 laps. Following last year’s outing, this edition delivered yet another intense scrap, with drivers and teams fighting for every inch on the ultra-tight street circuit. Cars in both classes went door-to-door repeatedly — often bending or outright breaking the rules that race control deemed over the line. View this post ...

For those of you paying close enough attention to how the grounds of the automotive world are shifting back towards the appreciation for internal combustion engines, what Dodge just announced should absolutely get you excited for the future. Revealed to reporters and media outlets at their state of affairs event in Detroit on Friday, parent company  Stellantis laid out their expansive and radical five-year roadmap to fixing all of their current issues with the multitude of brands under their umbrella with a very clear, concise message at the forefront - build cars that people actually want to buy. What Dodge did not do was dive even deeper into an all-electric future, nor did they announce something timid, safe or conventional. What Dodge stated loudly and proudly is that they're returning to their performance roots in a big way in pulling off a complete 180 in their vision and new production goals. With a clear focus on restoring their brand heritage that was present for so many ...

The 2026  Nürburgring 24 was one of the better races in recent memory, not just for the N24 itself but one of the best races in any motorsport series on the planet. Through all of the headlines, the drama within cars competing and the unusual participants such as the Dacia Logan and a trio of Mercedes-Benz 190E-inspiried entries by HWA Racelab, one of the other amazing stories going into and coming out of the race weekend was the BMW M3 Touring 24H. Originally designed as an April Fool's joke by BMW M in 2025, the brand actually took the developmental steps to build the car in reality with the goal of racing it at the N24 in the specialized SP-X class, the same class as those three HWA EVO.R's. The car was an absolute smashing success, fighting inside both the top 10 and top 5 running order for much of the 24 hours of action, with it even riding at the front of the entire field in P1 for a time. As fans dreamed of where else the car could travel and race in the future, a bucket...

Max Verstappen will make his debut at arguably the most brutal endurance race on the planet this weekend at the ADAC Ravenol 24h Nürburgring, serving as a truly remarkable motorsport crossover event that may just be the biggest in history. Max's presence at the 24 has drawn a record-breaking, sold-out crowd for the first time in its history. Verstappen himself has slowly and patiently built to a point where something like this could become reality, and as a four-time Formula 1 world champion, his passions for racing go beyond the (alleged) Pinnacle of Motorsports. He is finally able to take on the Nürburgring Nordschleif and mark it off his career checklist as he comes ready to fight with a seriously stacked stable of co-drivers and a Mercedes-AMG GT3 Verstappen Racing machine capable of fighting for the overall victory. Dani Juncadella, Jules Gounon and Lucas Auer  will split duties with Verstappen as one of the whopping 41 total entries in the SP9 class. For those that know the G...

What exactly does Wayne Taylor Racing need to do in this day and age to right all of their wrongs? Honestly, who really knows. (End of article). No we kid. But seriously - will someone or something please come to the rescue of the WTR/Cadillac 2.0 partnership? With the conclusion of the Monterey SportsCar Championship round at Laguna Seca, we've seemingly never been further away from seeing WTR and their dual-entry Cadillac's secure their first race victory with the V-Series.R, which would also serve as their first win of any kind racing prototypes since the mid-point of the 2024 season when the No. 10 ARX-06 won on the streets of Detroit - 704 days ago. Laguna began with split-promise between the No. 40 and the No. 10 as Louis Deletraz managed to put the 40 on pole after capitalizing on the stellar pace the car showed through two rounds of practice beforehand. The No. 10 had a more sluggish Friday/Saturday after Filipe Albuquerque ran the sister car off the track when attempti...

Coming off the stellar late-race battle when he and Laurin Heinrich locked horns at Laguna Seca with just about five minutes to go, Earl Bamber took no issues with the contact that ensued on the back of his Cadillac when Heinrich clipped the left rear when attempting a pass going into turn 3.  The contact occurred on the second-to-last lap of the race, leaving Bamber to nurse the rubbing tire while also having to navigate batches of GT traffic, opening the door for Heinrich to make the final pass on the white flag lap heading through turn 4. Post-race, Bamber had no issues with the tough racing that resulted in the slight damage on his No. 31, simplifying the end result as Heinrich coming on like a speed demon equipped with healthier tires in the closing minutes.   "With about 10 laps to go, the (No.) 5 just appeared out of nowhere and when I heard it was coming at half of a second a lap, I knew it was going to be tough to hold him off,”  said Bamber. “I got a couple...
