Le Mans Classic 2012

Stoic. (Via)


These amazing images were captured by French photographer Laurent Nivalle during the Lemans Classic 2012, a grueling nonstop 24 hour race featuring classic supercars. With 450 cars participating in teams of 5 for the endurance event, the race is considered as a chronicle of racing history for aficionados of the sport.

On a side note, does anyone remember when they attempted to make videogames for LeMans? Those didn't sell so well, and it's not so hard to see why. Check out 7 more beautiful retro graded images from Nivalle's portfolio after the break!

Ken Block's GymKhana Five - Ultimate Urban Playground



Now this might not seem overly crazy to some, but as someone who lived in San Francisco this is pretty damn surreal, especially considering the typical traffic situation in the city. Featuring Ken Block, cofounder of DC Shoes and a professional rally driver with the Monster Rally Team to boot, this film was created over the course of four days under the direction of Ben Conrad. Travis Pastrana also makes a cameo on his dirtbike! Pretty damn incredible, and it kind of leaves you wondering: How the hell did these guys lock down key areas of San Francisco and deal with some probably very annoyed neighbors? Pretty insane.

Forza 4: Halo + Top Gear = Talk On Reality



Reality is boring. Why should I bother paying bills when I could be playing Halo whilst waiting for my electricity to run out because the bills haven't been paid? Reality is harsh, especially when Top Gear's own Jeremy Clarkson explains why the Warthog will never be a reality. But you could always try out the car on Forza 4.....I might just be, whilst waiting for my electricity to come back on.
