    Chris Forsberg can rip. The dude shreds tires when he’s behind the wheel of, well, anything. Recently, he and the Motor Trend film crew got to shut down a stretch of Decker Canyon in Malibu. Forsberg brought one of his drift cars. The Motor Trend team brought cameras. And many an energy drink was consumed…

This is the show that features all three trying to test a wide range of machinery over the soothing sounds of 80’s synthwave. Right out of the gate, the action is rather…

    I’ve been to Road America once. It was to watch the Acura race team test two of its DPi prototype race cars. This is fun for a bit, but it gets a bit old since there’s not actual racing going on. I wanted to go back and watch the races but that wasn’t in the…

    When you’re a young filmmaker, it’s the perfect time to hunt down and capture the subjects of which you’re most passionate. You’ll have less time to do so when you’re being hired for the gigs that pay the bills. Cameron Thuman is one such filmmaker, as he’s a senior at Chapman University’s Dodge College of…

    “Oh… we can all be assholes now?” The tone is set right from the gate. Regular Car Reviews knows what it’s diving into with the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. The upgraded tough-guy experience clad in blue paint. Wall Street Bets in truck form? Either way, RCR knows how to dissect it in the way that…

    I live in a country where a Skoda is the most normcore vehicle you can think of. A grey new-ish Octavia is pretty much “A Car” and not much more, its normalcy somewhat shadowing the quirkier cars the Czech manufacturer has churned out during its various eras.

    May 1, 1994. For motorsport fans, it’s the day when the world went dark. On that day, 25 years ago, Ayrton Senna da Sliva was racing at the San Marino Grand Prix. Italy’s famed Imola racing circuit would prove to be the last place Senna ever piloted a vehicle. Sadly, the Formula 1 legend crashed…
