Sebastian Vettel: ?I think we all got a crash course in sliding around??

Sebastian Vettel?s Friday in Korea was spoiled by a puncture on his prime tyres that forced him to use his options earlier than planned. The softer tyres were thus well past their best as the track got quicker during the afternoon, stranding him in seventh, more than 1.2secs off team mate Mark Webber. Nevertheless the [...]

Video: Porsche 911 Carrera RS vs. Helicopter; Jamiroquai style

Jamiroquai is a British jazz funk and acid jazz band formed in 1992 that just so happens to have a car-loving fanatic as a lead singer. Jay Kay is the proud owner of many luxury rides including a Lamborghini Miura SV, an Aston Martin DBS, and a Ferrari Enzo, to name a few. This little hobby is why their latest, and appropriately named "White Knuckle Ride" video taken from the new album, "Rock Dust Light Star" features a Porsche 911 Carrera RS and a Robinson R44 Raven II helicopter.

The chance to see a video of a Carrera RS and a helicopter is enough to give this one a go, but adding a chase scene that takes the machines through the dry scenery of Spain is more than enough to hit play right now.

And if you just so happen to enjoy a good jazz funk song, then this video is also for you, and so is Jamiroquai’s latest album which hits stores on November 1st.

Korea preview quotes: HRT Tuesday, October 19th 2010, 08:18 GMT Sakon Yamamoto: "I am looking forward to race at the Korea International Circuit and it is going to be really exciting as no one has ever raced on this completely new track before.

World, meet the Red Bull X1 Prototype


Have you ever imagined a car that defied any form of technical rules? A car that, if seriously made, would annihilate any other four-wheeled vehicle on the planet?

For one reason or another, the real world isn?t ready for such a car. But in the world of Gran Turismo 5 where anything and everything is possible, you just might find that unicorn of a car that only resides in your dreams.

This is the Red Bull X1 Prototype, the brainchild of legendary race car designer Adrian Newey. Looking like a crossbreed between a Formula One car and an LMP1 racer, the X1 Prototype is powered by a gas turbine that produces a staggering 1,483 horsepower and 527 lb/ft of torque. Wrap your heads around those numbers for a second.

Done?

Just to illustrate how unbelievable the X1 Prototype is, Red Bull F1 driver Sebastian Vettel gave it a simulated run around the Suzuka race circuit and the super beast of a car clocked in a time of 1:11.540, over 20 seconds faster than Vettel?s time on board a Red Bull F1 race car during the 2009 Japanese GP.

20 seconds faster than a Formula One race car. 20 seconds.

This is the Red Bull X1 Prototype, folks. And as much as we?d like to see this car come to life, we?re afraid that we?re all not ready for it so it?s probably for the best that we can only get our hands on it in GT5.
