I remember from sometime last year. I went to the car show with a friend and saw the design for a car called Audi TTS. That was awesome. Then the exterior look for Porsche 911 was on track. When they extricated car from the hood, I had never seen an entire crowd, so excited about the speed of a car in my entire life. The primary characteristic of a car should be the fun factor. What made it so much more interesting than the car is simple: a great fun factor concept. When there is a unique fun factor

This was a battle to see who would conquer the biggest race in history at its time in the 1960’s, the 24-hour Le Mans. The whole world was watching this race, waiting for it impatiently, it was like a Super Ball of speed. The Le Mans 24-hour race was without doubt the most dangerous and brutal competition, as to compete and win the Le Mans meant that you were one of the best drivers. Everybody participated in the race, including all Formula One stars at the time who drove

If you thought motorsports was an exclusively men’s world, then you need to wake up and see the hot girls reigning supreme on the race tracks. Admittedly, you are not alone in this misconception about raving being a man thing, probably because there are plenty of guys involved in the industry from mechanics, drivers and engineers to raving fans. However, there are many female racing drivers who are not only fast and successful but incredibly attractive too. Here are ten of the hottest female drivers

resurfaced again, for which Young has issued a formal apology. "Twenty-five years ago I was a young man drinking too much and in over my head with no real structure in my life.

humor. Les Griffin might not be ninety percent funny, yet it still is at least seventy-five percent comical, which can be enough for a show to satisfy viewers. Furthermore, the target audience of the series in France is not necessarily the same as in the US. As I have already mentioned, countries like Italy and Canada have a much younger viewership for this type of show because of the fact that they are cartoons. In the case of France, I believe Les Griffin is probably perceived similarly to Les Simpson:

as the feat of simply supplying enough water to sustain such numerable displays is not only an exhibition of the power of the king’s will, but also serves as an exhibition of Louis’ power over nature.

There were more than 35 fatalities from 1953 until today in formula 1 only, some more gruesome than the others. And a lot had occurred at the same time as the crash has happened. The most deadly crash has occurred not in formula 1 but in the Le Mans 24 hour race in 1955. The crash occurred when a jaguar had slowed down so fast that the Austin Healy that was behind it swerved to avoid the crash and it hit a Mercedes and as a result that sent it flying over the crowed. About seventy seven were killed
