Nerd's Eye View- Ryan Tuerck's 2JZ Powered FR-S!

By Mike Kojima

Ryan Tuerck has always been one of our favorite drivers in Formula D.  A consistent and solid performer, Ryan is always right there in the season end points race mainly due to his consistency.

Ryan has been known for his work in Nissan S chassis and had driven for Gardella Racing for many years in various Chevy platforms.  For 2013 Ryan has a new ride in an exciting car, a Scion FR-S.  Now the FR-S is a pretty exciting car but the flat 4 Subaru based engine is just not up to the task of propelling a competitive Formula D car.

MotoIQ Radio: "Big Mike" for the Eibach Meet and Danny George to talk about Road Atlanta

By Justin Banner and Kerryann De La Cruz

While BMW heads got to see Bimmerfest, the Honda nuts got to go to the annual Eibach Meet! "Big" Mike will come on to talk about what he thought were some great cars and how it was like being MC for the event. Then Danny George will be here to set the record straight about Road Atlanta! He was really looking good, but he wasn't able to top Tuerck after he was judged to have made contact. Did he really and what was with that intimate moment with Dan Brocket?! Got questions? Type them in the comments or on the MotoIQ Facebook Page!

The Eibach Meet: A Non-Honda-Lover's Guide

By: Aaron Bonk 

You hate the Eibach meet and all eight degrees of negative camber that it stands for. But don't be bitter because behind every pack of graffiti-covered engine bays, every row of Otter Pop-colored Civics, and every stock JDM airbox short-sightedly matched alongside four-into-one race headers lies all sorts of Hondas and Acuras that care about a funny thing: going fast.

Project 240SX Land Speed Racer:  Racecar Livery, the Function Behind the Form

By Chuck Johnson  Photos by Joe Lu

I’ve put together a lot of cool project cars over the years and would like to think that with each one, I push the envelope a little bit further and get a little better at what I’m doing.  I’ve learned a lot from building racecars and a good portion of that learning in most recent years I’d say, is far beyond that of just turning a wrench.

Daijiro Yoshihara and team head into the competition day with hopes high. After having a rough qualifying, will they be able to repeat their win from Long Beach? Or will they repeat their early exit as they did last year in Atlanta.  

Nerd's Eye View: Science of Speed S2000

By: Sarah Forst 

Images by Sarah Forst and Wes Dumalski

Back in March while covering the Modified Streetcar Shootout, this S2000 was tearing up the track. The car was clean but sounded dirty and upon inspection under the hood, the engine looked like it was put together by techs in white lab coats. What struck us about this car was the very exotic appearance! Surely this one off piece of art must cost a bajillion dollars and be impossible to re-create! As we looked closer we were absolutely shocked by what we found within this build.

Global Time Attack - Round 1 - Road Atlanta 

By Wes Dumalski 

Quality images by Sarah Forst and mediocre shots by Wes Dumalski 

Attacking time is a funny thing… All sorts of things happen during these 2 day race weekends and no one knows what mother nature or Newton has in store for us. This past weekend at Road Atlanta both of these personas had a chance to show us who's boss and utterly prove that we are in control of very little. In this case the Saturday forecast brought likely promises of rain and when the teams hit the track to sunny skies they were in a fury to set down fast laps as no one knew (not even the weather people; do they ever?) what would unfold. As luck would have it the rain held off and as teams pushed ever further it was Newton who would prevail on this day. Through 11 wins in a row and numerous track records the Professional Awesome EVO VII would turn its last laps in anger, its life cut short by Road Atlanta.

Formula Drift 2013: Round 2 - Road Atlanta

By Justin Banner

Daijiro Yoshihara was in the catbird seat after taking home the win at Round 1 of the Formula Drift Pro Championship presented by Go Pro at Long Beach. Hot on his heels are Vaughn Gittin, Jr, Chris Forsberg, and Chelsea Denofa who were all looking for that weak spot in Dai's armor. With Round 2 at Road Atlanta, Dai was also looking like the favorite, but he's been the favorite before and it's bitten him hard. Would Dai make it out of Hotlanta with the points lead or would someone take a shortcut on the "Road to the Championship" and take the number one spot?

The Rest of the Story: Tony Angelo's Scion FR-S Feature

By Justin Banner

You've followed along with the build and now it's time to see what came out of the Sandy Salvage FR-S! We dive into the details of the US Air Force Scion FR-S that Tony Angelo will be piloting for the 2013 Formula Drift Season. We'll look a bit further than the build up articles were able to and show you the parts that make this FR-S the beast that it will be this season!

A Dummy's Guide to MotoGP in Austin

By Khiem Dinh

"If you build it, they will come."  What applied to a baseball field in the middle of a corn field also applies to one of the finest race tracks in the world located in the middle of the Austin hill country.  Since the Formula 1 race last November where the asphalt had barely cured before the cars hit the surface, many changes have occurred at the track.  This time around, it was the MotoGP rodeo putting on the show.  In my opinion, nothing is a more pure expression of the synergy between man and high-powered machine.  Along with this event being the first MotoGP race at the track, more history was made at this race with maybe the most disruptive rider to join MotoGP since Valentino Rossi.

Fast Lap with Billy Johnson - Circuit Of The Americas

By Billy Johnson

Circuit Of The Americas (COTA for short) is America's first purpose-built Formula 1 track which stands at 3.427 miles long.  The track is characterized by a lot of elevation change and with 20 diverse and technical turns, it's a formula for great racing and a really difficult but fun track to drive. 

Located in Austin, TX the track was designed with the assistance of Hermann Tilke, who is responsible for designing most of the modern F1 circuits.  Proposed in the middle of 2010, COTA was completed in time for the November 18, 2012 Formula 1 race which I was fortunate enough to attend.  The track will host everything from MotoGP to Australian V8 Supercars and the world's top Road Racing series.   It's exciting to finally have a modern European-style circuit here in the States with a similar track specification, layout, curbing, and run-offs.  Rather than the tight, narrow, and bumpy tracks that characterize North American racing circuits.
