Track Techniques in a Subaru WRX STI, Subaru BRZ, and Mini Cooper S Coupe – The J-Turn Episode 7

Posted by

This week on The J-Turn, Jessi Lang heads to Buttonwillow Raceway Park to prepare for her upcoming Chump Race at Daytona, where she’ll face 119 other competitors. With the help of Motor Trend contributor and race car driver, Randy Pobst, and Motor Trend’s vehicle coordinator, Scott Mortara, Jessi get schooled on how to handle traffic on the track and learns the intricacies of passing and being passed.

After discussing the envelope of awareness, the classic clean pass, the draft pass, and the late apex pass, the three hit the track in separate cars to simulate a real race. Find out whether the 2013 Subaru WRX STI SE, the 2013 Subaru BRZ, or the 2013 Mini Cooper S Coupe make it out of the race in one piece.

The J-Turn appears every other Tuesday on the Motor Trend channel.

Let’s Celebrate 23 Years of Hubble

Posted by

Hello Hubble Huggers! It’s time for another Hangout and this time, we’re celebrating 23 years of awesome Hubble images with a brand new release from Hubble Heritage.

Every year about this time, we get really excited because the Hubble Space Telescope was launched on April 24th, 1990 and we’re getting ready to mark the 23rd anniversary of the launch.

Hubble is a window into our universe like no other, and this week we have another breathtaking view to offer you of the iconic Horsehead Nebula, taken in the realm of the infrared.

We also have a eye-popping 3D simulation of the Horsehead based on the image you won’t want to miss!

Please join +Frank Summers, +Zolt Levay, and +Jennifer Mack as they discuss the process of selecting this target, the observations, and the making of the new color image and simulation.

2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA: Affordable Luxury? – Ignition Episode 63

Posted by

On this episode of ignition, Frank Markus heads to Saint Tropez to test out the CLA, which is Mercedes-Benz’s brand new entry into the youth market. The idea sounds fraught with danger: another sub-$30,000 Benz, this time with a 2.0l 208hp transverse engine, 258 lb-ft of torque, and a front-wheel drivetrain. Will this new entry level kinder-Benz find the same fate as C230 sport coupe from several years ago, or is this a completely new philosophy on an entry level luxury car?

Ignition appears every Monday on the Motor Trend youtube channel. http://www.youtube.com/motortrend
