The Honda k-series is proving a force to behold, as the Prayoonto Racing Supertech Integra posts a blazing 8.65 @175 mph pass with Jonathan Reynolds at the wheel at Maryland International Raceway. This is the fastest time yet set using the new generation K-series engine from Honda. Look forward to this weekend, as the third annual Airwerks Borg Warner $10,000 Outlaw Shootout goes down at Englishtown Raceway Park, Oct 9th and 10, as part of the 12th annual Sport Compact Fall Nationals. Smart money may be on B-series power, but will Reynolds be the first to turn up the wick and capture the $10k prize from the tried and true B-monsters? It’s going to be an interesting weekend…

кухненски столовеIt is a never ending battle around here to come up with fresh, interesting material that hasn’t been beaten to death by all the other Auto related blogs out there. Recently, I did some digging on youtube and other spots to find some interesting, and yet barely viewed videos relating to my favorite racing team, Scuderia Ferrari.

First up is the record setting Nürburgring Nordschleife lap in the 599xx, with Rafaele De Simone piloting. No music, just the sound of the Enzo-derived v12 being flogged on the longest, hardest track in the world.

This is one of my favorites of the lot, a short video on the beginning to end process of a 612 Scaglietti engine build up. This had a few more views than some of these other videos, so I apologize in advance if it is old news.

Next, a subtitled video featuring Stefano Domenicali talking about the challenges Ferrari has faced developing their Formula 1 car in the 2010 season:

Here we have a short video featuring Fernando Alonso in an interview that occurred shortly before the Turkish Grand Prix of 2010. In it, I found it interesting Fernando thought racing Juan Manuel Fangio would be the most interesting person to race in Ferrari’s history, a choice I would definitely not argue with.
