Tost: Alguersuari, Buemi no F1 stars
Toro Rosso team boss Franz Tost says the talent of Jaime Alguersuari and Sebastien Buemi was simply not enough to be in a position to challenge for a seat at Red Bull Racing. Both Alguersuari and Buemi were replaced at the Faenza-based squad in a shock decision by the team, which hired Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne for the 2012 season. Tost has stated repeatedly that Toro Rosso's mission is to nurture talent that will fit sister squad Red Bull Racing's demands of a top driver

Stewart not taking form for granted
Tony Stewart feels it is too early to know if he can carry his championship winning form in last year's NASCAR Sprint Cup into 2012. The three-time champion finished the 2011 Cup season in dominant form, winning five of the final 10 races to beat Carl Edwards to the crown. Stewart and Edwards were the class of the field in the final couple of races, but speaking ahead of this weekend's Budweiser Shootout non-championship event, the reigning champion believes that it will take time to judge the competitive order for this year

Spy Shots: Porsche 911 GT3 spotted testing before earning its wings
Filed under: Spy Photos, Coupe, Performance, Porsche
Now that the 991-series Porsche 911 has been unleashed on the world, it's time for the other twenty-ish variants of the company's halo car to be unveiled. We've seen the 911 Cabriolet, and our spies have caught the Turbo out testing. Now, the even hotter 911 GT3 has been caught in its early stages of development (read: before it gets it's big ol' wing out back).
Mum's the word on exactly what sort of insane power the GT3's flat-six will produce, though reports have suggested numbers as high as 450 horsepower. That said, there have been conflicting reports about just how that power will be sent to the wheels - recent news suggests that both a manual and dual-clutch setup are being tested, but that only one will make it to production. (There can only be one!) Porsche officials believe that the PDK will win, though we'll wait until we get final confirmation before cutting off our left feet. In any case, we'll wait for more details to roll out throughout the year.

Van Gisbergen Takes Top V8 Honors at Okayama
The biggest race for the first week of iRacing’s V8 Supercar Official Series, 2012 Season One at Okayama International Circuit took place at 10:45 GMT on Monday, February 6. In all, 84 drivers signed-up for the time slot and the online race split four ways—21 per. On the pole of the top split (Strength of Field 3881) was Shane van Gisbergen—former New Zealand Formula Ford champion and the man who finished fourth overall in the not-so-virtual 2011 International V8 Supercars Championship. Joining him on the grid were Holland’s Rens Broekman, former iRacing V8SC champion Mitchell McLeod, three-time defending iRacing V8SC champion Madison Down, and 17 other superstar drivers. Thus some serious sim racing talent piloted over 28 tonnes of big iron—live axles jumping under the acceleration—into the first corner of [...]
