    Ultimatecarpage.com update (03-28-06)

    Despite never being officially announced by the factory, the F430 GTC made its racing debut earlier this month in the Sebring 12 Hours. Derived from the road going F430, the new Ferrari racer looks set to take on the ever dominant Porsches and could very well have won at its debut. We met up with the F430 GTC at one of its first European outings at the official Le Mans Series test on a sunny Paul Ricard circuit. A full season preview and slideshow from the test packed with new racers will be published later this week.
    When Formula 1 started in 1950 the grid was made of exotic Italian and British 1.5 litre supercharged racers, and a striking blue alternative from France with a 4.5 litre naturally aspirated engine. This Talbot Lago T26C Grand Prix was introduced a few years earlier and was an immediate hit with privateers. Although not on the same pace as its supercharged rivals, the T26C sometimes had the better of them thanks to its superior mileage and reliability.
    Somewhat overshadowed by the many supercar debuts in Geneva was the Mercedes Benz CLS 350 CGI, which features an all new direct injected V6 engine. While the German manufacturer might have introduced direct injection in the 1950s, its pioneering role has recently been taken over by Audi, but maybe the new 'CGI' range can bring Mercedes Benz back into the game.
    One of the great American motoring icons is the Shelby Mustang, which was available in many shapes in the late 1960s. Most will immediately think of the GT 350 fastback coupe, usually painted white with racing stripes. Today we take a look at the lesser known, and rarest of the bunch; the GT 500 KR Convertible.

    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
