The American Grand Prix isn't the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas--it's the one that's going to happen on a street circuit in New Jersey, just a short distance from New York City.

The 2015 Lamborghini Cabrera, the upcoming replacement for the Gallardo, has been spied in testing again, and this time, it's shooting flames from its exhaust--and showing off its interior. The epic tale of James Hunt's rivalry with Niki Lauda in the 1976 F1 season is being shown all across the...

The Circuit of the Americas is a world-class facility and a very challenging track to master. Pair that with the world-class Hennessey Venom GT (which also looks rather difficult to master) and you have a match made in Texas.
