The GT-R has a bunch of track day functions in the infotainment system like G-force meters and the like.

Did an instructor not ride along and 'correct' all this lovely behavior? Do they not do that at UK track days?

Aaaah, nice. Figured he was angrily searching for a radio station or something.

I guess the uploader got enough threats on his life from the fat gently caress and took down the video. Sad, really. People should see that so they can know who to stay away from out there.

I kept telling myself they had to be faking it. Throwing charcoal bits in somehow. Then I saw the related videos for other VW/Audi TDi intakes and became a believer. I can't imagine how badly starved for air that engine was. Now I wanna try it.

I did that exact same thing to my AHU Jetta intake manifold and it worked loving great, no more limp mode until the next code.. That car worked great until about 260k miles then it was limp for this, limp for that. gently caress that car.

Saddest part is the fat knob (and not in the good way) is probably rich enough to back up those threats. I don't think too many "buy here, pay here" auto lots deal in GT-Rs.

Yeah, really impressive coverage. Nothing mind blowing yet out of the big guns, Tilton is behind what they did last year, but the last Pro session was cut short and they lit on fire earlier. On the 1:24 lap the splitter was banging into the ground going into T1 and the car was all over the place. Then Under Suzuki went off in the last corner on his hot lap.

Also, holy poo poo the PMQ evo is fast as gently caress. I knew it would be but 1:25 is nuts.

This is the second year of the Ranger Odyssey, for Ford South Africa. It's a contest that sees them trek into Africa, using Rangers, and putting contestants through a bunch of challenges a-la Survivor or similar. This year they trekked through Namibia, and the instructors had a drone to film some of the trip. It's more "awesome landscapes" than cars (though they do feature) but still pretty cool.

If this doesn't make you want to go bashing across Namibia in your off-road vehicle of choice then you're probably dead inside.

If you like this, go back and watch the old Camel Trophy movies. Some of the poo poo they did back then was insane. No GPS, no sat phones, no fast rescue.

This German Jeremy Clarkson is angry at the Chinese knockoff X5 that they forced him to drive for 101,000 km. Come for the build quality review, stay for the destruction.
