If you've been paying attention to the world of car development over the last several years, you know the simulator is playing an ever-increasing role.

It's been almost four years since James Glickenhaus commissioned his custom Pininfarina-penned Ferrari Enzo-based P4/5 supercar, but the excitement has begun to build back up following the release of an official rendering and now a new online video series documenting the making of the car. In...

The BMW/Rahal Letterman Racing team may have taken the overall American Le Mans Series driver's and team championships this year, but Corvette Racing continues to learn--and to win where it can. Petit Le Mans, the 10-hour or 1,000-mile season closer held each year at Road Atlanta, turned out to be...

We've become familiar with Red Bull F1's excellent simulator-based previews of upcoming Grand Prix weekends, but this time, we get something special: a full CGI preview of a never-before-seen circuit: the International Circuit in South Korea. Built specifically to hold an F1 race this season, the...

You know what? We are not on top of everything. For example, we just found out that Selma Blair and Neve Campbell are different people. And apparently, the Olsen Twins can't feel one another's pain. And, pull tabs on sodas? WHERE DID THEY GO YOU GUYS? Also, according to our colleagues at Celebrity...

Where's the Benny Hill soundtrack when you need it? This criminal, fleeing police at high speed, makes yet another very bad decision, heading straight down a street packed with traffic. Jammed between a bus and an SUV, he appears caught. But not this guy. Throwing the car into reverse, he slams...

Car reviews in text form are great, but whether online or in print, you can't see the car move. Wait a minute--that's not totally true. While print is limited to still photography, we in the online world can use video. And here at High Gear Media, we have a few video reviews in our library. Let's...

If you haven't heard about Google's secret driverless car program by now, you must have taken quite a nap. The Internet giant has been out on the roads with cars that can handle their own business in traffic, racking up 140,000 miles of testing. To prove the concept, Google even took a 1,000 mile...

Mazda has always been a slightly quirky brand -- just offbeat enough to develop a community of rabid fans. So it's fitting that the automaker would choose to sponsor a nationwide tour for the equally quirky musician Mayer Hawthorne. If you don't know about Hawthorne (nee Andrew Mayer Cohen), you...

Making a luxurious Camaro Convertible without sacrificing its muscle-car cred? That's what the team behind the Neiman Marcus Edition Chevrolet Camaro Convertible set out to do.

Billed as the most powerful Carrera ever, the new Porsche 911 Carrera GTS slots in between the standard Carrera S and the hardcore GT3. What, you didn't notice a gap there? Well, Porsche did, and this car does a great job filling it. More power and more capability than the standard Carrera but all...

As we understand it, Andy Rooney is still alive. We haven't personally verified those shocking allegations, but like certain terrorist masterminds we could mention, Rooney appears on TV at regular intervals, and he references enough current events to make us think he's still breathing. Andy Rooney...

The 2010 Fireball Run is, sadly, over, but the memories and friendships live on. So, too, do the videos. These are the rest of the autocross videos we took but didn't have time to post from the road. First up you'll see me behind the wheel of the High Gear Media 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS, attacking...

The "dontblogaboutthis.com" site has crossed the bridge to official BMW promotion, with a new Facebook competition to get a chance behind the wheel of the "secret car" on the racetrack--presumably before it's unveiled. In the video we see a few enticing snippets of the car, which is looking more...

Some actors have always seemed older than they really are. Bea Arthur, for example: she was born 40. Bob Hoskins, too. And then there's 48-year-old John Slattery, whose characters always seems at least a decade older than he is. Say what you will about Mad Men, but you can't deny Slattery's...

This may be the only lap ever run at the F1 circuit planned for Austin, TX. Planning and progress have been kept very secret, and some have expressed doubt that it's even possible to finish the facility in time to get on the 2012 calendar. Others think it's a sure thing. We're undecided, but after...

Glorious audio, crisp HDR-style video and more all-around views of the Aston Martin One-77 than you'd get in the mob that would surround the car in person. This video may be the closest you ever get to the most powerful naturally-aspirated road car in the world. The video also features some of the...

It's rare that we find a pickup truck that pushes our enthusiast buttons, but today, we have exactly that. Our Executive Editor Marty Padgett is at the Ford F-150 EcoBoost launch today, and he captured this video of the truck proving that while it may be a V-6, it packs more punch than the frumpy...

This weekend's road racing in Europe was a bit of a bang-up session, with crashes at the start and shortly after in Formula Renault 3.5 and Formula 2. These are both classic illustrations of the red mist getting the better of the drivers' abilities, and great examples of how not to start a race...
