Belgium Sunday quotes: HRT
Vitantonio Liuzzi - 19th: "We knew it would be a complicated race, especially in dry conditions, but I made a good start and gained a few positions quickly. We were ahead of our main rivals and, even though we knew beforehand that our pace wasn't the best, we kept on fighting. I think we did a pretty good job, especially in the first stint of the race.

Whitmarsh: DRS a success at Spa
McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh has rejected suggestions that the DRS made overtaking at Spa too easy, and believes it created just the right level of entertainment in the Belgian Grand Prix. The Kemmel Straight after Eau Rouge was chosen as the DRS zone for the race, and saw plenty of passing throughout the field - with drivers ahead finding it hard to successfully defend against their pursuers. Ferrari boss Stefano Domenicali suggested that because drivers were already close behind rivals through Eau Rouge, the DRS effect was multiplied and made overtaking a foregone conclusion

First Drive: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta GLI
Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Volkswagen, First Drives
A GTI For The Masses
We've given Volkswagen a fair amount of flack for the 2011 Jetta - and justifiably so. All the things we held dear in previous generations - high-end materials, solid driving dynamics and that general sense of premium the Germans do so well - were all nixed in the name of market share.
But as we suspected, it's working. Jetta sales in the U.S. are up 74 percent over last year as consumers view the redesigned, cut-priced sedan as an upmarket contender to the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Chevrolet Cruze. And honestly, more power to them.
What we've really been waiting for is this, the 2012 Jetta GLI. Packing VW's ubiquitous turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a six-speed manual or optional DSG and an independent rear suspension, the GLI is here to assuage enthusiasts' fears that VW has lost the plot in its relentless pursuit of global market dominance. Just as Porsche hasn't given up on sports cars as it expands into un-Porsche-like segments, neither has VW in its efforts to appeal to more people. But unlike Ferdinand's second child, we still have the nagging sense that Volkswagen is leaving something on the table - despite the GLI's potential on paper.

Sebastian Vettel's pole position performance at the Belgian Grand Prix may have shown that Red Bull Racing remains the team to beat, but his rivals are optimistic that the German can still be toppled at Spa. As Vettel bids to secure his first victory since the European GP in June, his main opposition believe that their true potential was not revealed in qualifying - and that a long DRS zone and intriguing tyre strategy could turn this afternoon's event into a thriller.

New and Not-So New
Week 3 of Season 3 of the 2011 inRacingNews Challenge featured the series? home track, Summit Point Raceway, and its Jefferson layout. Dominated last season by the two series champions, Marius Golombeck in the Pontiac Solstice and Gabriel Tobar in the Spec Racer Ford, this season offered other sim racers the opportunity to reach the top of the charts. So two different drivers ? one a newcomer to the front, one not so new ? seized the respective championship leads with strong performances. Michael Booth, whose Solstice performance has been stellar thus far in the early part of the season, won his lone race from the pole to score a class-best 143 points. In SRF, longtime class bridesmaid Chris Hughson is seeking to wrest the crown from Tobar; starting 27 [...]
Teased: Lexus teases GS F-Sport and GS 450h
Filed under: Hybrid, Sedan, Lexus, Luxury
Lexus may have debuted the 2012 GS 350 as part of last week's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance festivities in California, but the automaker isn't quite done with the rollout of its new rear-wheel-drive sedan. Seen here, Lexus has just released two teasers of two more models in the GS range: the sportier looking F Sport and hybrid-enhanced GS 450h.
Like the rest of Lexus' F-Sport treatments, we don't expect the GS F-Sport to be much more than a trim-and-tape job, though some suspension tuning may be in store for this model. It's been long rumored that Lexus is preparing an honest-to-goodness GS F performance model, so the F Sport trim ought to be similar to what the automaker offers on its smaller IS sedan.
The GS 450h will likely use the same 3.5-liter V6 and electric motor setup that's found in the current car, though some small massaging should hopefully improve fuel economy ever so slightly. We'll have the full details on both cars later this year.

Tom Cruise test drives F1 car at Willow Springs
Filed under: Motorsports, Celebrities
"I'm not a doctor, but I play one on television." If that line sounds familiar from old television commercials featuring soap opera stars in white coats, bear in mind that the theme extends far beyond the annals of fake medicine. People get mixed up between actors and the characters they play all the time.
Tom Cruise, for example, has driven all sorts of vehicles on the silver screen, from cars to motorbikes to speed boats, often pulling off scarcely believable stunts and feats in the process. But how much of that comes down to camera trickery and special effects, and how much can be chalked up to actual driving talent?
We got a pretty good answer when Cole Trickle himself set the lap record (however short-lived) on Britain's Top Gear, but Cruise wasn't about to stop there. So while David Coulthard and the Red Bull demonstration team were Stateside for a show in Texas, they met the Hollywood mega-star out in Southern California to let him try his hand at driving an Formula One car.
The seven-hour test at Willow Springs started in a road car, where Coulthard and Cruise drove the 2.5-mile track to get a feeling for the layout before the Mission: Impossible star climbed into the F1 car for 24 laps. At the end of the day, Cruise managed a top speed of 181 miles per hour - just four mph off of DC's trap speed - while scrubbing 11 seconds off his first lap - a marked improvement that left Coulthard impressed at Tom's skills.
Stay tuned for video footage when it's released and check out the official snapshots in the gallery for a closer look.

Video: This is what a 426-mph flying mile looks like in HD
Filed under: Motorsports, Etc., Videos
What's the fastest you've ever driven? We're sure many of you have crested the century mark. Some of you may have seen 150 miles per hour crawl by on the speedo, and perhaps a lucky few have experience 200. We can all but guarantee that none of you have gone as fast George Poteet, though.
Poteet is the man who strapped himself into a Bonneville Blown Fuel Streamliner known as Speed Demon, and proceeded to run down the salt flats at a tremendous rate of speed. Using a set of RePlay XD cameras (the same type we used for our Woodward Dream Cruise coverage), Poteet captured footage of his 426 mile per hour flying mile run.
For that speed, you need a serious engine, and the Speed Demon comes prepared. A 347 cubic-inch V8 mill gets paired with a pair of Turbonetics "Demon" turbochargers. The result is over 2,200 horses and a thrill ride that few get to experience.
What does it feel like to trip the lights fantastic at 426 miles per hour? Click past the jump to see for yourself.

Loeb takes early Germany lead
Sebastien Loeb holds his habitual lead in Rally Germany, but it took the eight-time event winner three stages to reach the front. Ford's Jari-Matti Latvala was quickest on the dry first stage, but both the Finn and his team-mate Mikko Hirvonen lost a lot of time when rain hit on SS2. They had gone with hard tyres, while the Citroens used softs - which proved much better suited to the increasingly damp roads.

Lowndes takes first victory of 2011
Craig Lowndes finally claimed his first V8 Supercar race win of 2011 in the opening leg of today's two-part Queensland Raceway round. The Triple Eight Holden driver led throughout the 22-lap race, while Tim Slade (James Rosenberg/Stone Brothers Ford) maintained the form that saw him qualify on the front row for the first time to keep Lowndes in sight throughout, eventually finishing a second adrift in the runner-up spot. Jamie Whincup lost a little ground at the start before coming back through to third place in the second Triple Eight car

Reinvigorated McLaren eyes final push
McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh says his squad will be reinvigorated for the world title fight when the Formula 1 season resumes at Spa at the end of the month. Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button's triumphs in Germany and Hungary respectively have raised hopes that McLaren might be able to at least delay Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull's title celebrations, although the Woking team remains 103 points adrift of RBR in the constructors' standings at present. "This final stretch of European races will break the back of the calendar, so it's important that we hit them aggressively and confidently before pushing on into the final flyaways," said Whitmarsh.

Filed under: Sedan, Lexus, Luxury
We've endured the teasers, seen the leaks and even driven a prototype, and now the wraps officially come off. This is the 2013 Lexus GS 350, the automaker's latest bid to create a driver-focused mid-sizer aimed at the hearts, minds and wallets of would-be 5 Series and E-Class buyers. It might be a tough sell, but it's a compelling case on paper, even if the styling leaves us wanting.

Monterey: Cadillac Ciel Concept designed for decadent drives up the coast
Filed under: Concept Cars, Convertible, Hybrid, Cadillac, Misc. Auto Shows
Cadillac has chosen the backdrop of this week's classic car festivities in Monterey, California to debut a new concept convertible called the Ciel, which means "sky" in French. The four-seat, four-door drop top was designed to be the ultimate carriage for a drive up the coast, as well as hints at Cadillac's aspirations to offer flagship luxury products in the future.
The Ciel is powered by a 425-horsepower, twin-turbocharged version of GM's 3.6-liter V6 engine with direct injection that's augmented by a hybrid system using lithium-ion batteries. Those massive 22-inch wheels may not look that large because the Ciel itself is a big boat with a wheelbase 12 inches longer than a CTS sedan and overall length cresting 200 inches. Cadillac says the car's shape is more natural and organic than its current design language, perhaps expressing more Art than Science with smoother lines and softer curves than we're used to seeing. We particularly like the slightly rising chrome accent line along the rocker panels that stretches the length of the Ciel.
Exterior aside, inside the Ciel is where we want to be. Passengers are absolutely coddled in their individual bucket seats with unique niceties like pull-out blankets to ward off an evening's chill, aromatherapy controls in the armrests and a drawer containing sun screen, sun glasses and a towel. Of course, technology is ever-present in the cabin with each seat having its own suite of connectivity options and the center dashboard being topped with an inductive charging surface.
Check out Cadillac's official images as well as our own live shots in the galleries below. Two official videos and Cadillac's official PR can be found after the jump.

Franchitti on top in first practice
Dario Franchitti was fastest in the opening practice session for this weekend's IndyCar Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The defending series champion completed just 21 laps of the oval in his Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara, but wasted little time in knocking Marco Andretti from the top of the timesheets with a lap in 21.742s. Andretti, who had sat at the head of the standings since the early stages of the session in his Andretti Autosport car, was knocked down to fourth place, but improved his pace late on and pulled himself back up to second in a time 0.190s slower than Franchitti's best.

Tost: Vettel should stay put
Sebastian Vettel should stay with Red Bull for many years to come if he wants to win multiple world championships, according to his former boss Franz Tost. The Toro Rosso team principal ran the German to his maiden grand prix win in Italy in 2008 before seeing Vettel leave for Red Bull the following year. He believes that keeping a consistent line-up of drivers and team personnel is crucial to any outfit challenging for race wins and titles and thinks that Vettel, who is committed to Red Bull until at least the end of 2014, is in the best position possible.

Video: Motorcyclists take revenge on hapless Porsche 928
Filed under: Classics, Etc., Marketing/Advertising, Safety, Videos, Porsche, Motorcycle
The roadways can be a dangerous place to be, no matter what type of vehicle is moving you and yours to and fro. Though cars and trucks are getting safer year after year, the same can't necessarily be said of motorcycles. While advances like anti-lock brakes, traction control and even airbags have made modern motorcycles easier to ride, it's no surprise which vehicle generally wins when a car and a motorcycle collide.
That's where the proper safety gear comes into play. In order to maximize safety when riding on two (or three) wheels, a rider needs to cover him or herself in the full spate of riding apparel, and companies like Icon Motorsports fill that need. Thing is, motorcyclists tend to be an interesting bunch, and appealing to their sense and sensibilities isn't easy.
Hence, the video you'll see after the break.* In it, a super cool dude with a ratty Porsche 928 has locked himself firmly in the '80s and doesn't give a single thought to anyone else, including a pair of Harley-Davidson Sportster-mounted bikers, ably played by Rob Carpenter and Chris Rayburn. Mayhem ensues. Oh, and as is often the case in the real world, the motorcyclist gets the girl.
If you like the production values, check out a couple more Icon videos that we've featured on Autoblog in the past.
*Professional riders, closed course, etc.

Will Power may have closed the gap to championship leader Dario Franchitti at New Hampshire, but he couldn't prevent a fall down the Castrol EDGE Rankings for a second consecutive week. The Australian finished fifth in a farcical end to the race, with stewards deciding to restart despite wet and largely undriveable conditions. The result saw him close to within 50 points of Dario Franchitti in the championship, the Scot having earlier crashed from the lead on lap 118

Nico Terol took his fifth pole position of the year with a commanding performance in qualifying for the 125cc Czech Grand Prix at Brno. The world championship leader had been embroiled in a mid-session battle with his nearest title rival Johann Zarco, but grabbed pole for good on what was his first clear lap with 12 minutes of the session remaining. The Aspar Aprilia rider then improved his mark three more times to secure the top spot - and his sixth career pole - in 2m08.118s, a sizeable 0.385s clear of Zarco's Ajo Derbi.

Power, running fifth at the time, was caught out as Danica Patrick spun on his outside, and had little room - or grip - to manoeuvre, eventually ending up in the wall with a gaggle of other cars
