Nerd's Eye View: Science of Speed S2000

By: Sarah Forst

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.

By Justin Banner and Kerryann De La Cruz

MotoIQ's own Wes Dumalski will join us first for our all Road Atlanta, all the time show. Well, actually, not everything happened at Road Atlanta. Oh, well, we're trying to be more Professional and awesome, but we'll bring on Professional Awesome instead to talk about their plans for the rest of 2013 after that bad crash at RA. Then Brad Lim and Jonathan Bradford break up the mononitny of Road Atlanta with talks about their ALMS weekend and their Formula Drift weekend at... Road Atlanta. So much for that! Finally, Bryan Bridges will come on to talk about Daigo Saito's win at Round 2 for the Formula Drift 2013 Championship. Hah! Bet you thought I was going to say Road Atlanta again before the end of this, didn't you?! Oops. Got questions? Type them in the comments or on the MotoIQ Facebook Page!

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?

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.
