Homestate Win for Engelhart
For every racer there is that one race track that holds special precedence. They hope and dream of one day pulling into victory lane to a celebration with family, fans, friends and crew close to them. Herbert Engelhart pulled-off the equivalent of that feat in the sim racing world this past week as he topped his peers in the NASCAR iRacing Tour Modified Series at the series’ inaugural visit to the Milwaukee Mile. Engelhart won twice in his pair of starts at the one mile oval. The biggest win came in his second start on Thursday as he took home 179 points in a field which was rated at 2872 sof. Engelhart led Royce Valley, 2011 Season One champ Robert Sandt, Brad Spidle and Mike Schrader across the line in [...]

No injuries for Petrov after crash
Vitaly Petrov has escaped injury following his crash at the end of the Monaco Grand Prix. The Russian driver made contact with the barriers after crashing into the back of Jaime Alguersuari's Toro Rosso with six laps to go. Although the impact was at relative slow speed, the Russian stayed in the car and reported pain in his left ankle.

Home Again
Summit Point Raceway is the de facto home track for the inRacingNews Challenge, and Week Three of the second iRNC season of 2011 saw teams come home for the second time in three weeks, running the track?s full configuration. With championship battles heating-up in both the Pontiac Solstice and SpecRacer Ford classes, establishing a presence at the front of the pack was integral for all of the series? top sim racers. In the end, perfect weeks from Alessandro Fior (Solstice) and Gaston Taberner in (SRF) gave them bragging rights on the week. Taberner led every lap in his lone race from the pole to score 176 points, but Fior managed to repeat the feat four times, cementing him as one of Marius Golombeck?s top competitors for the Solstice class championship.

Wheldon thrilled to win for Herta
Dan Wheldon said winning with Indianapolis 500 with his long-time friend Bryan Herta's young team made his second victory in IndyCar's premier race particularly sweet. Without a full-time drive for this season, Wheldon teamed up with Bryan Herta Autosport for Indianapolis - which would be only the second ever IndyCar race for the team co-owned by Herta and engineer Steve Newey. The Wheldon/Herta combination was a frontrunner all month, and ended up winning when JR Hildebrand crashed out of the lead at the final corner.

Recycled street-sign furniture is uncomfortably cool
Boris Bally Transit Chairs - Click above for high-res image gallery
Industrial designer and artist Boris Bally has taken the urban decay aesthetic to a new level, crafting tables and chairs from worn-out street signs. Bally cranks out everything from high-backed dining-table chairs, to coffee tables, to armchairs.
Bally has been working with metal in one sense or another since he was just 13 years old. Rumor even has it that he cut his teeth in metalworking by building himself throwing stars and brass knuckles.
By using recycled materials, Bally isn't only doing the environment a good turn, he's ensuring uniqueness in each piece of furniture. Bally leaves the source material's patina alone-and makes sure it's visible. Such individualism comes at a price, naturally; chairs start at $1,100 and tables range from $900 to $4500. Have a closer look in the gallery below.

Dan Wheldon took an incredible second Indianapolis 500 victory in Bryan Herta Autosport's second ever IndyCar race as JR Hildebrand crashed at the final corner while on course for a shock rookie win. Panther Racing driver Hildebrand had looked set to pull off a breathtaking win after making his last tank of fuel last a surprising 36 laps, which allowed him to sweep to the front as others pitted. But with the win in sight, Hildebrand unbelievably drifted wide at the final corner of the race and slammed into the wall, crossing the line second in his wrecked car as Wheldon swept past to take the win.

Pirelli predicts varied strategies
Pirelli believes that its tyre choice for the Monaco Grand Prix is going to result in teams opting for varied strategies in the race in a bid to try and secure a top result. With pre-event fears of tyre chaos caused by a rapidly degrading super soft having proved unfounded, Pirelli thinks the performance of its rubber so far is going to lead to outfits picking some radical tactics on Sunday. Director of motorsport Paul Hembery said he expected a two-stop to become the race-winning strategy on Sunday - but it was not clear yet whether it would be better to start on the prime rather than the option tyre.

Boullier: Engine equivalency unworkable
Renault team principal Eric Boullier thinks that the idea of having an engine equivalency formula in 2013 - with the current V8s running alongside the new 1.6-litre four-cylinder engines for one season ? would be unworkable. With a number of F1's manufacturers unhappy about the cost implications of switching to the new smaller engines in 2013, FIA president Jean Todt told them in Spain last weekend that he would be willing to offer a compromise of allowing a year's grace for the current power plants. But with tremendous complications from trying to ensure that both types of engines would perform the same, as well as there being little cost saving in the move, there has been some scepticism that the plan could be put into place.

Video: Pickup driver tries to run motorcyclist off the road

Pickup driver tries to run motorcyclist off the road - Click above to watch the video after the break
What's worse than a sportbike-mounted motorcyclist passing a slower-moving vehicle in an area where there are double-yellow lines, indicating that passing is prohibited? The answer, as you'll see in the rather shocking video pasted after the break, is retaliation from the driver being passed.
A motorcyclist in Bracken County, Kentucky, was out for a ride with a friend on a beautiful Sunday afternoon when he came up on a red Ford F-150 with an ATV in the bed. The truck was moving at a slower speed than the motorcyclists, so the lead rider decided to pass. We're not going to try to defend the biker crossing in what is clearly a no-passing zone, but that doesn't excuse what happens next.
The driver of the pickup truck appears to swerve sharply in an attempt to run the motorcycle and its rider off the road. We're not mind readers, but there's little doubt that the driver's intent was to cause the rider to crash, or at least to scare the living daylights out of him. For the next several minutes, the pickup driver gives chase, using both his lane and that of oncoming traffic. At about 4:20 into the video, the pickup driver nearly hits another innocent motorcyclist head-on.
Finally, after about five minutes of hopelessly reckless driving, the pickup catches up to the lead motorcycle, who had stopped and dismounted at a stop sign. Confrontation time - with what appears to be a metal pipe in the hand of the pickup driver. As you would expect, a heated argument ensues in which the pickup driver somehow claims he's in the right and that he's - get this - allowed to drive like a maniac because he "grew up on these roads."
The whole sordid affair ends with a phone call to the police, but according to the local riders from R6-Forum.com, the police, for reasons completely unfathomable to us, have yet to respond. Check out the complete video after the break with your own eyes, but beware, it includes some potentially NSFW language at the very end.

Ferrari plans to discuss with Pirelli whether or not a further change is needed to the hard compound tyre for later this season, on the back of the troubles it faced with the rubber in Barcelona last weekend. Both Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa struggled for grip with the revised hard tyre - and the difficulties were highlighted when Alonso effectively lost a lap to the race leaders when he made the switch to primes in Barcelona. When asked by AUTOSPORT if the tyre troubles were something that Ferrari had to sort out itself, or something that Pirelli needed to react to, team principal Stefano Domenicali said: "At least you cannot say that Pirelli is working for Ferrari..

After weeks of discussions about the future of the race, and as first revealed by AUTOSPORT, Ecclestone has confirmed that the Bahrain GP will take place on October 30 if the FIA decides at its World Motor Sport Council meeting on June 3 that it is safe for F1 to go there

Monaco preview quotes: Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel: "It's remarkable to drive an F1 car around Monaco, it's a completely unique track and a unique challenge for the driver. You have to push as hard as on a normal race track, but the smallest mistake can bring a big penalty.
