Countdown to Gumball: 2 Days

April 27, 2007 by Gary Grant Leave a Comment

As a kid, the opening scene from Gumball Rally were burned into my brain. What could be better than a secret society of oddball characters in hot cars racing across the land without a care for local speed limits?

The modern version is called Gumball 3000 and it’s a lot more organized and a tiny bit more lawful, but it still exudes the same excitement. The star studded 2007 edition kicks off this Sunday in London, England before making it’s way to Asia and then back to London.

Thanks to Team Warrior Heart for the following promo video

Alain De Cadenet Spitfire Video

March 4, 2007 by Gary Grant 1 Comment

Most of you know Alain De Cadenet from his work as on air talent on SpeedTV. What you may not know is that De Cadenet is somewhat of a renaissance man, with a very wide range of hobbies. Not only is he an accomplished racer, but he is a noted expert in read wine, stamps and vintage aircraft among other things. He even owns a WWII Spitfire, which brings us to this older video. Obviously the shot was set up for effect for a show on the Spit, but things were a bit closer than he expected! I wonder if this is actually his airplane.

Sunday mornings are always a great time to waste some time watching racing videos, so I thought it might be cool to share one of our faves here in The Garage.

Climb Dance is a compilation on in car and helicopter video of rally legend Ari Vatanen attacking Pikes Peak in a Peugot 405 T16. Watch out for the Bug Splat!

Drift king Taro Koki and his team have just launched GT Channel, which is sort of like an automotive version of Youtube. Visitors can watch and upload their videos to share. Maybe even better is the fact that they are planning to share a bit of the wealth from their advertising with anyone who posts their videos on their site.

Most of the vids posted so far are drifitng related, along with some road test content. Expect this content to grow drastically over the next few months. This will be fun to watch.
