The apology train keeps rolling on with Turn 10. They seem to be doing all they can to win back their loyal fans after the debacle that was Forza 5. By adding new tracks for free they certainly are doing a lot to bring those who left back into the fold. You may not be familiar with Long Beach unless you are an Indy car fan or a gangsta rapper but now you can familiarize yourself with the track in glorious laser scanned detail.

American Stock: The Golden Era of Nascar
Vintage car footage is cool. Vintage race footage is even cooler. A documentary covering the golden era of Nascar well that’s just ice cold. Today we have part one of American Stock. Which is a film covering the roots of Nascar. There is lots of great old footage and I’ll just bet you will like it. From the sands of Daytona to early asphalt tracks it’s covered in part one.

Why we drive
It is pretty easy to get caught up in the day to day stuff of life. I’m very guilty of this particularly the last month or so. I have some pretty big things going on right now and finding the time to hold all the projects together, including IG has been tough. With spring here it is a great time refocus, blow off some steam, and remind ourselves why we are car guys.
Of course people like cars for different reasons. For some it’s pure aesthetic. For others it’s a status thing. For me it’s about getting the adrenaline pumping when pushing it hard through a corner while the supercharger is just screaming in my ear. A bit of hyper focus sets in and all other things melt away. At some point it becomes all about hitting your shifts just right, finding the limit of grip, and remembering what cars are all about.
