Roll Cages Aren’t Just for Race Cars

The most extreme race cars, whether they race in Baja or on the track, typically only resemble street cars superficially.

The Ducati Scrambler Is the Mint 400’s First Hooligan Winner

Quite a few so-called scrambler motorcycles have the style, but not a lot of off-road substance. The Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled, though, isn’t one of them.

A little browsing on Honda’s Instagram shows us some posts of famous race car drivers and their Hondas. I mean, it’s easy to get behind the wheel of a vehicle if a racer drives one right?

Atlanta’s Considering Limited Legal Street Racing

Beyond just requiring careful car prep, racing also usually takes place on special-purpose tracks or courses. However, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic emptying roads, more people are starting to treat streets as their own personal racetracks.

Kartcross Is the Craziest Racing Series You’ve Never Heard Of

Even today, the lessons learned from racing can directly impact automotive technology. Ducati and Lancia used it to develop pioneering features and well-regarded vehicles.

There’s a 1400-Hp Ford Mustang Drag Racer–And It’s Electric

All 3 of the American muscle car makers—Dodge, Ford, and Chevrolet—have created high-power drag strip racers. One, the 840-hp Dodge Demon, was even street-legal, though the 1000-hp Hellephant V8 is understandably not. Although, some of the fastest cars at the drag strip aren’t gasoline-powered, but electric. Some have even transplanted EV drivetrains under classic muscle …
