McQueen was a race car driver, motorsport enthusiast extraordinaire, and perhaps more importantly, the man behind the iconic and legendary film "Le Mans" that brought "Hollywood to motor racing". Some of the best know and most popular …

I remember as a kid spending countless hours playing with Legos. I was happy if whatever I built didn't crash down under its own weight. Not so with the Arvo brothers (legends within the Lego community). These two take lego building to a whole new level, and beyond. Just as Wilco Machiels creates Porsche Dioramas like no one else, the Arvo …

Star Wars fan or not, it's hard to keep from smiling when you see pictures like the one below and the picture of Darth Vader I posted a few weeks ago. I spend a good amount of time online - as it's one of the few things I'm good at - and even though these have been around the net for a while, I figure there is still a good chance you might not …

When I first received the FR500 Solarlink from Eton (makers of the Porsche Designed P'9120) my original thought was, what am I going to do with this thing?

This is one of the better in-car racing videos I've seen in a long time. The camera placement and picture quality from the Dodge Viper are enough to make you feel like your on the track doing the driving. Fortunately, the Porsche GT3 keeps the lead for most of the race so you get a good feel for the line taken, turn-ins, speed in the straights, …

For the 12-Hrs of Sebring weekend, the track becomes its own nation: the paddock and surrounding areas are filled to the brim with race fans in the most festive of moods. RVs and a variety of vehicles cram the parking areas full, making transit in and out of the venue a slow and laborious process. Food and alcohol are readily available, air-horns …
