How many storylines can you pack into a single race? In one race an era ended, a new era began, and six drivers fought for a championship. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It's no secret that today is the Ford Mustang's 50th birthday. Anybody with an ounce of gasoline in their blood could tell you that. Even if you didn't know or care before today, the glut of media coverage assures that everyone in America knows that the original pony car made it's first appearance half a century ago. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Driving a powerful rear engined rear wheel drive car can be tricky, just ask the hundreds of 911 owners who've felt the wrath of the pendulum effect whilst travelling through a hedge backwards. There is one man who can tame even the most savage of rear engined beasts though, RUF test driver Stefan Roser. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

It was late 1991 and my dad, deciding that he had suffered long enough with whatever Renault box he had been driving for a few years, had just bought a new car. I should probably rephrase that previous sentence, my mom graciously heard my dad's pleas which, up to that point, had fallen on deaf ears and allowed the purchase of a new car. Being a young dad of two he made the smart decision to buy a sedan that babied well ("look, babe, built-in sun shades for the rear window!"). Unfortunately, being the young, male, up-and-coming attorney he was, he decided to buy an Alfa Romeo 164s. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Here is a short history of early Mustangs. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Equipped with the automatic transmission, a 240D Mercedes is about the slowest car you can drive around without people looking at you funny. Well...maybe people will still look funny at you, but I've logged many miles behind the wheel of both manual and automatic transmission equipped W123s and I can tell you the slushbox is serene but it is dragging boat anchor while 22 year old burro pulls an oxcart up Pikes Peak slow. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and also check out !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

It has been a five-year journey since F1 started its energy efficiency campaign with the introduction of KERS in 2009 and has stepped up to a completely new level with the reintroduction of turbocharging and the use of other energy recovery systems this year. Is this the end of it? Apparently not. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Technical innovation is what makes Formula 1 so different from any other form of racing. The on track action is as much played out by the engineers and aerodynamicists as it is the drivers. We are here to admire, study, and discuss this beauty that exists on the ragged edge of what we think is possible, or at least what we thought was possible. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
