Monst3r!

After a forced vacation from Interlagos racetrack, I got racing overdose! I was invited to the 14º Porsche Racing Festival, which brought together the last Porsche GT3 Cup race of the year plus the Porsche Club guys, riding their machines for all the saturday and sunday. The photos:

My newest “toy” just arrived from ebay: it’s a Joe Nemecheck’s 1:24 scale 2006 chevy Monte Carlo! It have the standard painting scheme (as you can see in the box), holding the US Army logo and colors. The cool thing about this purchase is the price. You can find old season itens like this for 10 bucks! Considering what you get for the price, it’s a bargain.

It’s funny how we end up finding stuff on the internet. I was looking for a review for a simulator called “Racing Injection” and founded Rallymedia channel on Youtube. They have lots of rally videos, many of them HD and FullHD, with a great quallity in every aspect.

I have watched I few now, put picked the earliest one to put here. Have fun in 720p!

Since I live a little near (3 subway stations) the event, I took my night off yesterday to check out Xtreme Motorsports. Today and tomorrow, weekend days, will be impossible to walk in there! I took some pictures from my cell, but I think is enought to have an ideia of what I saw. Tuned, DUBs, muscles, classics and race cars, all together!

In my last visit to my dear hometown we went to a new go kart track, almost hidden in a corner behind a soccer field. Those karts came from an old track we knew, forcefully closed when a mall nearby decided to expand. The sun was bright as hell, the weather was perfect for surf, but since we don’t have any beach there, we gone race (sound wrong, but fuck off)! But then the tempest came and made our day happier! Enjoy:

Today we lost another motorsport genius in a terrible accident. And it’s the second in a week, considering Dan Wheldon’s fatal crash last week in Las Vegas, for the last race of Indy’s 2011 season.

When I say “genius”, I mean it. To push yourself to best race series in the world and get good results is something that only a few can achieve.

I don’t know how long this video will be available on youtube, but this post is my tribute to him. R.I.P Marco Simoncelli!

I find it awesome how these guys take an already high end car and makes it even greater. Ok, it still doesn’t turn like a Porsche but it accelerates like hell!

Total lap time: 7:41:2

I confess I thought it was computer graphics, but then I saw the guy standing bside it! This Pagani Huayra it’s unreal!

The monster data:
Engine: Mercedes-AMG V12 Bi-Turbo M158, 5980 cc
Engine Power: 700hp
Chassis: Carbotanium (Carbon AND Titanium! HOLY CRAP!)

Yes, my friends… when the fun became obligation, we leave it behind. Let’s see if I can put this thing together again! This video made me drool eye-fixed to the screen. Love too see those V8 screaming over the night!

Have fun!

If you guys think I forgot this blog, YOU’RE WRONG!
