video of the day. 1973 Rallye Monte Carlo.

This has to be one of THE best openings to any video i’ve seen in a long time….cryptic night time scenes with slowly evolving funkified 1970s psychedelic music makes for video perfection! What a year for great cars in rallying as well! That Fulvia is off-the-hook cool.

What an amazing 25 minute documentary this is! Enjoy

Thanks to Simon C for sharing this!

video of the day. A310 V6.

I’m not sure how they mounted this onboard camera for this drive (is it on his shoulder!?), however the effect is that it makes you feel like you’re sitting between the driver and navigator…..very disorienting, however feels like you’re really in that superb Alpine A310 V6

the latest social network: “Clarkson Club”

Yes it is made by Jeremy Clarkson (well not made by, but sponsored…), yes it is for people into cars, yes it is slightly ridiculous, yes Jeremy Clarkson’s stamp of approval is like an ‘instant hit’ these days, and yes i probably will join it just for the hell of it.

In all seriousness though—-it is sort of a good idea. There has been car forums for as long as I can remember…but they are usually sort of specific for a particular car. Then there are the larger blogs like Autoblog or Jalopnik….which are fine, but also attract a certain type of person. What about a social network for ALL TYPES of car enthusiasts. Is that what Clarkson Club is trying to do? If not….then someone should do it.

Speaking of which, make sure you add yourself (or “like”) to the IEDEI Facebook page.

video of the day. Toyota is ‘new’ Peugeot.

I’m buzzing about Le Mans already . Time to get the Audi flags out. I’m excited to see if the Toyota TS030 is up to the task…it certainly looks the part!

drivers.

This is brilliant! all sorts of people driving all sorts of cars. Andrew Bush has released a series of photos photographing drivers in their cars on the road. Apparently there is a book available to purchase as well off his site. Make sure you head over to his site HERE and check out all the photos, complete with captions of time and place.

driving song of the day. Supersonic.

If there are 10 songs that soundtrack my life, “Supersonic” by Oasis is in the list, if not at the top or fighting for the top position. I still remember being 18….driving around in my 1st generation Sentra SE-R with “Supersonic” blasting through incompetent speakers at full volume like a possessed vehicle. To this day, if i ever listen to Supersonic while driving—my speeds lose control and I realise I am driving way too fast.

It has everything. Swagger, rhythm, soul, confidence, and melody. I never really gave a crap for The Beatles; they were soft. Oasis were hard. Pure rock and roll for my generation.

Audi 1-2-3-4 at Spa today. Wicked.

Here’s a fascinating onboard video of the R18 e-Tron quattro from earlier today at Spa. Saw this video at the excellent Audi Motorport Blog, who described it as a “spaceship”—-i completely agree!
