Event Report: Cult Classic 10

Over the past ten years, Nothing Leaves Stock’s Cult Classic has grown significantly due to the laid-back atmosphere that can at times make it feel more like a gathering than a traditional show. But don’t mistake this casual feel for a lack of planning or hard work, as it takes a lot of care to appear this effortless. Take a much closer look, and you’ll discover the no-nonsense security team comprised of DCI members, and judges who’ve got Performance VW features and countless high-level builds under their belts.

This year’s edition happened just hours after a monsoon-like storm, complete with widespread flood warnings, made the usual field uninhabitable. Thanks to quick thinking on the part of organizers, this year’s edition was moved to higher ground on the other side of Memorial Park. This allowed cars and attendees alike to stay much drier than they otherwise would, and kept the park’s grounds from becoming a muddy grave for lowered vehicles.

Even with the lack of cooperation from Mother Nature in the days leading up to the event, organizers saw a minuscule variance in overall attendance. As such, cars filled the decreased event footprint, causing for vehicles to be parked where they could find space in line, as opposed to being divided by class. Not many seemed to mind, though, as it only served to further the event’s casual nature.

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

PZM 73rd Rally Poland Kicks Off

The WRC is in Poland and after only one stage there are three Volkswagens in the top five. Today’s special stage at the Mikolajki Arena is the first stage, but the rally doesn’t begin in earnest until Friday. Today’s super special stage was less than two minutes long, and less than a second separates the top five drivers. Hyundai Motorsport’s Thierry Neuville tops the charts today, followed closely by Volkswagen’s Andreas Mikkelsen. Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala are in fourth and fifth, respectively. Expect Ogier to climb the rankings, though. Not only did he win the rally last year, he has won every year since 2013. And with rain expected on Friday, Ogier’s chances are even better. “If it’s a bit wet then I hope I can make some good times,” said Ogier earlier today. “The best would be some good rain during the night so it’s a damp surface and then not too bad weather during the day so specators can enjoy the show without being too wet.” If it is dry, though, speed is on ...
