I think the talk of a 300hp MR2 is a bit unrealistic. But I want a fun to drive car, not a rocket ship. So I'll stay optimistic and we'll see what happens. Besides, I'll be 77 in a couple of months. I'm not sure I'll be doing track days with a new MR2 in 4 or 5 years. I have high hopes as I'm in...
So the Haas car livery has been unveiled. Should we all be supporting them in 2026? I guess I kind of like it. But it still seems strange for Toyota (or Gazoo Racing if you prefer) is the title sponsor on a car powered by Ferrari?
I'm just waiting until Monday the 26th for the first test day. At least that week we'll get some idea of how things are going to work and which teams have cars that actually run and which teams aren't really up to speed yet.
If it's a higher end version of the MR2, similar to the Supra and costing $60,000+, maybe the AWD function will be something that can be turned on and off? Personally, I don't mind if it's AWD. Oh, and BMWAF is absolutely right, there is NO WAY the MR2 would be 400hp. That would be a HUGE...
I've owned my Supra for a year now. I did track days at Barber, Daytona (155mph) and Sebring. My car is bone stock except for wheel spacers and a few appearance items. I track mine with the stock tires. Now I'll admit that after racing SCCA wheel to wheel for over 20 years, and at the tender age...
Just over 6000 miles on my 2025 Supra that included track days a Barber, Sebring and Daytona. Changed the oil & filter and flushed the brakes. I was kind of surprised at how good the used oil and the brake fluid looked.
I don't want to have to do a bunch of upgrades to make it good. I want it as fast & well equipped as the current Supra and handling as good as a current Miata. Small, fast comfortable!
OK, the season is over. McLaren wins. Lando wins. It was fun and a bit nervous for Lando, but it's over.
Now, just how different will the cars and rules be for 2026? Will the spread from 1st to 20th in qualifying time go from 1.5 -2.0 seconds to 2.5-4.0 seconds? No more DRS... OK. But will the...
Personally, I think the GR GT is a BIG, over priced, beast of a car. And like a number of the other BIG GT3 cars, I'm OK if the want to race them. But I don't want one. My current Supra is as big as a fun to drive sports car needs to be... just in my humble opinion.
I want a small 2 seater, 4...
