"Something for every taste": Colorado Auto Show features 22 manufacturers

Colorado Auto Show, coming up next week, features 22 manufacturers and there's "something for every taste" The Colorado Auto Show is the place to dream big, and then look, touch, and sit behind the wheel of some of the coolest cars ever made. As the auto industry shifts due to tariffs, high interest rates, and the end of most of the tax credits for electric vehicles, many consumers are trying to figure out what's next. "We're going to have 22 manufacturers out there, and you're going to be able to see everything side-by-side-by-side and figure out what's going to work for you price-wise, features-wise ... find the car that's going to keep you going," said Matthew Grove, CEO of the Colorado Automobile Dealers Association. In addition to exploring new models from 22 manufacturers, there will be the Automezzi, which will feature Italian exotic cars and motorcycles. Luxury supercars from Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Maserati will be on display. The Forney Museum will be bringing some of its antique models. "We have something for every taste and obviously electric is one of those tastes, but what our numbers are showing as far as car sales go is that hybrid really is the next big thing. You don't have to pay that extra upfront cost, but still if you're concerned about gas you're getting 40-45 miles a gallon and that seems to be working out for people right now," Grove explained. Denver Racing Social will have its mobile F1 racing simulator at the Colorado Auto Show. The Morgan Adams Foundation is sponsoring a SIM racer where you can test your skills against other RC car drivers. The Colorado Adventure area will showcase boats, RVs, ATVs and an all new overlanding exhibit. There will also be an expanded lineup of vehicles available for test

F1 'doesn't need' Max Verstappen - legend claps back

F1 'doesn't need' Max Verstappen - legend claps back Change your timezone: F1 'doesn't need' Max Verstappen - legend claps back Max Verstappen could well be off at the end of the season A former F1 racer has suggested that the sport does not need to keep four-time world champion Max Verstappen. Wholesale regulation changes were brought into the sport at the start of this year, and Verstappen has said that the new cars are not fun to drive, while reports in the Dutch media after the Japanese Grand Prix claimed that he is 'seriously considering' retiring from F1. Verstappen has plenty of other racing hobbies away from F1, including GT racing and sim racing, and he is due to race in the 24 Hours of Nurburgring race later in May. The Dutchman has said whether or not he continues in F1 will depend on whether the FIA and Formula One Management decide to make changes to the rules ahead of 2027, which is currently set to be the penultimate year of Verstappen's current Red Bull contract. But now, former Ferrari F1 driver Eddie Irvine has said that the sport don't need to try and keep Verstappen in F1 because of the amount of other talented drivers who are already making this 2026 season an exciting one in terms of the championship battle. "F1 doesn't need Max, there are plenty of talented drivers," Irvine told Gazzetta. "It's tough for him to find himself in the middle of the pack, but considering his salary, there are over €50 million in good reasons to stay." F1 HEADLINES: Verstappen announcement made, F1 team release huge statement Can Verstappen and Red Bull turn things around? As mentioned by Irvine, part of Verstappen's disillusionment with the sport at the moment is likely down to the

This Trucker Swapped His Passenger Seat for a $6,000 <b>Sim Racing</b> Rig – Video

Long-haul trucking involves a lot of waiting. Whether it is sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic, waiting for a trailer to be loaded, or taking mandatory rest breaks, downtime is just part of the job. But one driver has figured out the ultimate way to kill time on the road, and it has absolutely taken over the internet. In a recent viral video, a truck driver showed off his rig’s incredibly unique interior. Instead of a standard passenger seat, the cab is outfitted with a full-blown, $6,000 professional racing simulator. The video starts from behind the steering wheel of the semi-truck. But a quick pan to the right reveals that the passenger side has been completely gutted to make room for a serious gamer’s dream setup. It’s not just a steering wheel bolted to a dashboard. The $6,000 mobile sim rig features: A dedicated, race-style bucket seat. A professional-grade force-feedback racing wheel and a heavy-duty pedal box. A massive, ultrawide curved monitor to provide a totally immersive cockpit view. A powerful, custom-built gaming PC tucked neatly beside the seat to run it all. He’s even got a cheeky joystick for what I assume would be for a flight simulator. Whenever traffic grinds to a halt or he’s stuck waiting at a loading dock, the driver simply unbuckles, slides over to the passenger side, and starts laying down virtual lap times. The footage even shows him actively ripping around a digital circuit on the curved screen. Genius Upgrade or Distraction? This wild setup represents a pretty massive change in how professional drivers handle their downtime. Instead of endlessly scrolling on a phone or just staring at the back of another trailer, this driver effectively turns the worst part of trucking into a track day. Naturally, the internet has plenty to say about it.

2026 F1 <b>Sim Racing</b> World Championship: All the key moments from Event 1 at DreamHack

2026 F1 Sim Racing World Championship: All the key moments from Event 1 at DreamHack It was a dramatic start to the 2026 Sim Racing World Championship season at DreamHack in Birmingham – here is a recap of the first three races. The 2026 Sim Racing World Championship kicked off over the weekend, with 21 of the best esports drivers battling it out over three races in front of a live audience at DreamHack in Birmingham. There were loads of overtakes, a couple of crashes, and plenty of drama, as Red Bull’s Jarno Opmeer earned an early lead in the Drivers’ Championship, with Alpine’s Otis Lawence and Williams’ Nicolas Longuet in hot pursuit. Here is a recap of the first three rounds of the season... Round 1: China The season kicked off at the Shanghai International Circuit in China, with plenty watching the drivers on stage in Birmingham for the first Qualifying session of the year. In standard Sim Racing fashion, the margins were razor thin, with the top nine separated by just over two tenths of a second. It was Frederik Rasmussen who took the first pole position of 2026, with Red Bull team mate and defending Champion Opmeer back in P5. Last year’s polesitter Ulas Ozyildirim and Williams’ Nicolas Longuet completed the top three. Rasmussen was in no mood to repeat last year’s poor championship start, holding off Ozyildirim on the final few laps to convert pole into an opening race victory. The Dane looked comfortable throughout as he carved through the field on his medium-to-hard strategy – with Ozyildirim and Alfie Butcher making up the rest of the podium. There was disappointment for Longuet after he suffered a slow start to come home in P8, while it was fourth for Red Bull’s Opmeer. Alpine’s Lawrence looked in

Seppä rejoins Euro RX1 grid with 'full focus' on long-term career | FIA Rallycross

News Seppä rejoins Euro RX1 grid with ‘full focus’ on long-term career Buoyed by a promising performance on his FIA European Rallycross Championship debut on home soil at the KymiRing last summer, Anton Seppä will return to the series’ top-tier this year as he strives to set the foundations for a successful future in the sport. A graduate of the prestigious Flying Finn Academy – a national talent programme that has fast-tracked the careers of compatriots Esapekka Lappi and Sami Pajari, current FIA World Rally Championship contenders both – Seppä initially cut his teeth in karting and rallying circles prior to turning his attentions to rallycross in 2021. Immediately turning heads on the domestic scene, the Kouvola native went on to win the Finnish Championship’s V1600 class title in 2024 – an achievement that earned him a seat with Škoda Motorsport Finland and a step-up to the headlining Supercar category. He has continued to impress ever since – including first time out in Euro RX1. Showcasing his pace and maturity courtesy of a composed, confident display that belied his relative lack of experience, Seppä occupied fifth position at the end of the opening day at the KymiRing last August. The second-quickest time in Q4 subsequently secured him a front row start at the semi-final stage, only for contact in Turn Two to scupper his hopes of reaching the final. Just over seven months on and with a newly-built, facelifted Škoda Fabia at his disposal, he is looking to pick up from where he left off. “Euro RX of Finland last year was a really big deal for me and our team,” acknowledged the 20-year-old rising star. “It showed us that the speed is there and that we can hold our own at such a high level. It also gave us

The Korean prototype will make its true competitive debut at the 6 Hours of Imola from April 17 to 19 — but players have been able to get behind the wheel since March 31. This remarkable achievement is the result of close collaboration between the engineers at Genesis Magma Racing and the developers at Motorsport Games. Far from simply creating a visual model based on official renderings of the car, the two teams worked together on suspension, aerodynamic balance, and gearbox data to deliver a handling model as realistic as possible. The sound of the 3.2-liter V8 Turbo—dubbed G8MR—has also been meticulously recreated from recordings made during the team's latest development tests. In the game, the GMR-001 sports the number 17, the number of the driver lineup of André Lotterer, Pipo Derani, and Mathys Jaubert, and the livery "liquid-metal" unveiled at the end of March, with its inscriptions in Korean Hangeul — “마그마”i.e “Magma” — identical to those that will adorn the real cars on the track.

Verstappen to race in Nürburgring 24h Qualifiers following "super enjoyable" NLS 2 - Benjamin Crundwell - 15 hours ago - 4 min read Max Verstappen will race in the Nürburgring 24h Qualifiers on 18th and 19th April, following his feature in NLS 2. As Formula One faces increasingly drastic backlash by fans and drivers for their new regulations, Max Verstappen completing side quests in sportscars is promoting alternate forms of racing for fans who are yet to venture outside the world of single seaters. Verstappen confirmed the rumours in March that he and the Verstappen.com team would be racing in the Nürburgring 24h this year with Winward Racing and Mercedes. To prepare for the event, he took part in NLS 2 with Jules Gounon and Daniel Juncadella.

The events are the main ones used during the NLS (Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie) season for teams to gain experience and licences for the 24 hour race. Both races will involve a 90 minute qualifying session and a four hour race. Predominantly for Verstappen.com, the qualifiers are a great chance to fast track their position in Top Qualifying for Nürburgring 24h (the equivalent of Q3 in F1). Verstappen’s adventures at the Nürburgring started last May, when he took part in a Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) test session under the alias ‘Franz Hermann’ with fellow Team Redline sim racer Chris Lulham. The test took place in the Verstappen.com-sponsored Emil Frey Ferrari 296 GT3.

Martinsville Ringer Reveals Bizarre Trick He Used To Survive “Nauseating” NASCAR <b>Sim</b> Session

A bicycle in a training session would sound bizarre to a NASCAR driver, considering it doesn’t even run at a fraction of the speed of the actual cars on the track, right? But it was these two wheels that enabled Lee Pulliam to complete his preparations for the O’Reilly Auto Parts debut with JR Motorsports earlier at Martinsville. His 5th-place finish came through extreme hard work in training, which even ended up making him nauseous. Watch What’s Trending Now! Racing sims have become a large part of driver training now. Most of the young drivers on the Cup Series field spend hours practicing on these sims; however, the motion sickness can be rather unforgiving. “When I first went there and did it that first session, I threw up four times at Pratt and Miller. I’d run outside and throw up, and it was all I could do to drive a car,” said Pulliam in his recent appearance on Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s podcast. Training on a simulator was difficult, but he used his experience and figured out a solution to solve his nausea problem. “I brought my bike with me because I had heard that, whenever you throw up, you jump on a bike, it’ll help you [regain your] equilibrium,” said the 37-year-old. Seemingly, that worked for him. At the same time, he started using virtual reality glasses even while playing video games, to help him get used to the motion sickness in the racing simulator, and it ended up helping him. View this post on Instagram “The next time I got an emotion rig, I was perfectly fine. I had zero issues. I never got out of the car, did the full session. And then I was like, that’s amazing,” Pulliam told Dale Earnhardt Jr. This was essential for Pulliam.

Colapinto will get behind the wheel of the 2012 E20 F1 Car – which ran during the Enstone-based team’s guise as Lotus but will sport a full Alpine livery for the event – in the Palermo neighbourhood on April 26, in his home city of Buenos Aires. “Driving at home in a Formula 1 car will be one of the most special moments of my life,” said Colapinto upon the announcement. “It's my way of giving back, even just a little, for all the support and love I've received since I was very young, which pushes me every day to keep dreaming of achieving all my career ambitions. “Every message, every flag, and every cheer has always been there. This is for all of you, to enjoy this special moment together.” As part of the event – known as Mercado Libre presents: Franco Colapinto Road Show Buenos Aires 2026 – Avenida del Libertador and Avenida Sarmiento will be transformed into a 2km street circuit, where two official show runs will take place. Unique fan and guest experiences, a fan forum and music acts, plus other exciting activities are also set to feature in the day’s festival, which will be institutionally supported by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. It comes as the 2026 F1 season embarks on
