This High-Flying Porsche Macan Race Truck Exists And Now All Is Right With The World
This High-Flying Porsche Macan Race Truck Exists And Now All Is Right With The World-January 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:17

I have but one ask of Porsche: everything they build needs to go racing. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the latest 911 or the new Panamera. It must go racing somewhere on principle. Otherwise, I won’t accept it as a Porsche. Behold, the Porsche Macan race truck that we all deserve.

has been campaigning this race-prepped Porsche Macan in European rally raids, and it is glorious. Rally raids are big off-road races much like the Dakar Rally that kicks off this weekend. This Macan made its international debut at the 2016 Italian Baja race, where it made a big splash. Wait, no—several big splashes.

That’s exactly why I’ve been wanting to see a Porsche Macan go racing. Seeing people take their Macans on is cool, but Porsche’s cute little SUV truly deserved the off-road race truck treatment.

Thank you for redeeming the good name of the Macan after that one dude got , good off-road jumping sirs.

Now do Dakar next, please.

[H/T Will!]

I Have A New Favorite Two-Wheel Motorsport: Vespacross
Motocross is a blast to watch, with its high-flying antics, rad slides and mounds upon mounds of dirt flung in the air. Yet I discovered a way to improve it yesterday: by running the whole series on cute little Vespas instead. Meet Vespacross, a too-delightful form of motorsport run in...

NASCAR Can't Even Get Cheating Right
teams cheat, or “bend the rules,” to say it nicely. They always have, and it’s . But a “” inspection system this year is causing all kinds of problems. Teams are mad that they keep failing, and NASCAR’s mad that teams can’t just bring legal cars. NASCAR has several inspections...
