Over the years here in The Garage, we’ve been lucky to have become friends with a number of people who have been rather involved with the sport of underground cross country rallying.

A couple of weeks ago we showed you a nicely produced propaganda piece from Corvette Racing that was more or less developed to justify their existence to the naysayers. Today, we have the first of 12 videos following the team through the 2010 racing season. This one is equally well produced and actually has a [...]

I have to admit that I am not much of a game geek. In fact, we bought the kids a PS3 for Christmas this year and I still haven’t played a single game! That’s because I am patiently waiting for the release of Grand Tourismo 5, which promises to be the best car game ever [...]

Ok, so call me color blind (which I am) but this combo is just too cool! Years ago, friend of The Garage, Racer Nika, had this cool Suzuki Swift GT with 5 spoke wheels that were dayglo orange. I coveted them for our rally car. [...]

I don’t think there is a racer alive, or dead for that matter, who hasn’t contacted a business looking for sponsorship to help fund their efforts. It usually goes something like this:
