Let's All Come Together Over The Important Stuff: Going Really Fast
Let's All Come Together Over The Important Stuff: Going Really Fast-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:19

The world is a scary, divisive place right now, and it can be hard to even carry on a friendly conversation with other Jalops right now. Thankfully, our Onion-scented friends at have stumbled upon the one thing that can truly unite us: race cars.

“I just think that race cars have far more in common than divides them,” argues the host. “And we need to work together in order for everyone to go super fast. It all starts with talking about it.”

Preach it, brother.

I realize this is The Onion’s sports show, but there is no better sentiment on God’s green earth for Talladega race day than “I want to go fast!”

Whether you’re a fan of NASCAR, Formula One, rally, Barbie Jeep racing or something else entirely, let us all remember to put aside our differences as fans and focus on going really, really, really fast.

You may not be watching cars hit speeds of just under 200 mph at Talladega right now, and that’s okay. If you dig fast cars, we’ve got something in common and that’s simplistic enough to qualify as a take—sort of, somewhere on inoffensive sports television. Let’s come together and rip fat celebratory burnouts like one big happy hooning family.

I raise a to you, Jalops! Go forth, and find the race cars this week.

The World's Biggest Off-Road Race Is Trying A Weird New Promo
The World's Biggest Off-Road Race Is Trying A Weird New Promo
The formula for off-road videos has become pretty predictable; big landscape pan, slow-motion mud slinging, dramatic music. The official promo reel for the 2016 Dakar Rally has that. Also, some visuals I’m not sure what to make of. If you couldn’t be bothered to sit through two and a half...

How A Rally Suspension Works
Racing in rallying means dealing with shit that any sane driver would avoid: jumps, stumps, rocks, ruts, all taken flat out. Over the years, rally suspension has grown to be about the best suspension in racing, and here’s a video explaining how it all works. The people up in New...

The Longer, Wider And Faster Cars Heading To Formula One In 2017
Formula One teams are already working on the 2017-spec cars based on agreed upon changes to the car’s dimensions, so put together a render comparing the likely 2017-spec car to this year’s Mercedes car to illustrate the differences. It’s a radically different car with more downforce than ever before. Specifically,...

How To Enjoy A Track Day Without A Car
How To Enjoy A Track Day Without A Car
How does one end up at a track day without a car? In my case, it was because I foolishly agreed to ride shotgun across the country from New York to California, in a smelly friend’s , all so he could do a track day at Laguna Seca. But I’d...

Volvo Once Absolutely Dominated Rallycross
Volvo Once Absolutely Dominated Rallycross
Volvo might be the most sweet, staid, unassuming car company in existence. Little did I know that they used to absolutely dominate the completely manic door-to-door smashing and bashing world of European Rallycross. Above is the diminutive Volvo 343. It looked like just about any other weedy little rear-drive hatchback...
