If you know Brianne Corn, you know that nothing ever goes quite as planned or happens on time. Let me recap this last year: The day we left for Pikes Peak, we were all still building the STI’s aero bits at Vorshlag before loading it onto the trailer for the 14 hour drive. For the…

Anytime someone says they’re putting together a car show for television it leads to the inevitable comparisons to Top Gear. That’s a bad thing for the folks pitching the show, because nothing can match the Clarkson, Hammond, and May-trifecta. Not every show wants to be Top Gear though, and there’s a new one in the…
