WATCH CLASSIC CAR FILMS FOR FREE

Universal Motoring History has turned its comprehensive film archive into a free online motoring history resource for all serious car enthusiasts.

The archive consists of more than 500 classic films from around the world from the 1890s onwards, and these can now be enjoyed for free 24 hours a day at www.auto-history.tv.

The complete collection covers everything from the start of mass production to world land speed record runs, car commercials, motor shows, new car launches, the evolution of car design, experimental cars, flying cars, famous drivers, stunt driving, unusual military machines and much more.

There’s also extensive racing footage from the “golden age” of motor racing from circuits such as Le Mans, Indianapolis and Monte Carlo, as well as films featuring bygone hill climbs and stock car racing.

The archive has been accumulated over many years from numerous sources, including motor manufacturers, government departments, military organisations, film and TV production companies and elsewhere.

A significant number of the films, most of which are between two and 10 minutes in length, have largely remained unseen for more than 50 years and were previously thought to have been lost or destroyed.

The recently revamped web site also includes other useful free resources such as a comprehensive timeline of motoring history, as well as photographic display.

And if you're really into your oldies, the site also contains an extensively stocked online shop selling a huge range of products geared to anyone with an interest in motor cars, past and present.

REASON OF DEFEAT

Remember the blue skyline from Monster Pit Garage at SDB final? Owned by small car. I'd said that it's not their fault right. And yes I am correct!! 100% correct. Recently I read Autojunctions review of this piece of craft, and I give my respect for their effort on creating a masterpiece by moving from the lower bottom of places. They compete for "trial n error" and I think for the next 2 years if they build their machine properly, they can turn thier head on International drag scene. Kudus to the Monster Pit Garage.

A1 RACE AT SEPANG F1 CIRCUIT THIS WEEK

A1 Team Malaysia has selected Fairuz Fauzy to race for his country in the A1GP World Cup of Motorsport event at Sepang, Malaysia next weekend with teammate Aaron Lim taking the driving seat for the rookie session on Friday.

Fauzy has represented Malaysia in the first two rounds of the Series and quickly established his superiority by taking the championship lead in the first round with a win and a second place finish. He put in two strong performances in the second round at Chengdu, China, including a fifth place finish, to retain the series lead as the nations head for A1 Team Malaysias home soil, Sepang International Circuit.

This is the first time in the history of the series that a team will compete on home soil leading the championship

The Malaysian A1GP driver is riding high with his early season success and is keen to build on the solid start, as well as stay at the top of the leader board. The confirmation that he will be racing at Sepang is the news that he had hoped to receive. Fauzy says, "After such a brilliant start to the season at Zandvoort the pressure was on to stay at the front and leaving China with the lead has given me a big confidence boost. I'm delighted that A1 Team Malaysia has put its faith in me and given me the chance to race for my country in my home race."

Lim was given his first outing in the new A1GP Powered by Ferrari car at Chengdu and was blown away by the performance of the racer and was thrilled by its power, acceleration, braking and cornering speeds. With only an hour behind the wheel Lim is eager to return to the cockpit, and particularly as it will be in front of his home crowd. The 21-year-old says of driving at Sepang, "I can't wait to drive at Sepang and I'm very pleased that the team has asked me to drive the rookie session. I don't take anything for granted, so although I hoped to be given the job for this round I kept my fingers crossed until I had the call from the team."

The Malaysian pair is already in Kuala Lumpur preparing for the event as well as taking on a hectic schedule of promotional commitments. In addition the drivers will be joining their team and a band of enthusiastic fans for the A1 Team Malaysia Outreach Shelter initiative this weekend. The volunteers will be painting and redecorating one of the charity's buildings, a very worthwhile diversion from the training and racing that will be the work for the drivers and the team next week.

SEPANG DRAG BATTLE 2008 ROUND 5 (FINAL BATTLE)

Well. The season is over now and Ah Lai took it all. Yessss. For the third times now. I can say that the final battle was worth every penny that I spent to go there.(Very kedekut la me.LOL) Everyone had given a great battle for spectators to see. We saw SAGA KU gone crazy but yet still have a lot of work to do with their machine when they lost to R Engineering at final Turbo 2 wheels. We saw Avantech EG lost to Conggo's CRX at quater final but hey, Mie Avantech wins the overall standings and I think maybe he just playing with the CRX. Hemmmmmmm!!!! We saw Ah Lai R Engineering took the crown by winning the open categories(4 wheels turbo) by defeating Subaru Impreza from "i don't know what team it was". But i'm quite sure it was that "mighty" Subaru. We saw GT Auto's Skyline got owned(twice) by a small Satria. But power vs weight ratio, i don't thing they are to blame. I felt a bit dissapointed because the "evil" Evo 3 don't make it to the ground. It can turn around the situation I think if it was there. But hell, anything could happen although they had broken the 9 sec wall at the fourth round. We saw Conggo's EF Vtec "rentung" battling along 2 turbos and what a car it was. Yyyyeahhhh!!!! They did lost the battle but hey, the turbos got a large advantage when they shift to third and fourth.

Enough with this "we saw" things. I'll update the overall results after this so please be patient. For the time being, enjoy the pictures. I've a lot more but again, they laziness inside of me had "enshroud" me. LOL.
