Callum is easygoing and happy, with a ready grin. He’s one of the friendliest people in the paddock with fans and other drivers alike. He’s got the typical dry British sense of humor and can be self-depreciating, except when it comes to his racing. In that area, he is analytical, confident in his own abilities and ready to offer constructive criticism to his team every time he gets out of the car. He built his team up from scratch in 2022, often finishing races higher than his car was capable of and with the addition of a second car and driver, is continuing to lead the way. Rumors abound that he is headed for a bigger and better team in the near future. While his current contract is for several years, only 2023 is guaranteed and there are likely several different options available to him and the team concerning where he will drive.

it’s missing Callum hours 💗

[callumilott]

I’ve watched a couple of Callum’s recent interviews and that one instagram live and this is what I think: he knows F1 is over, but he can’t say it yet so he’s hinting. I think he probably liked IndyCar more in theory? Like the other anon said his races haven’t gone that well and (I know parasocial relationship blah blah) he’s been very quiet on social media, rarely posted about the races and then he does he doesn’t mention the result. The team is new, the car is bad and he was never going to replicate Christian Lundgaard’s one off success. His only option in IndyCar next season is Juncos. He’s made a couple silly mistakes himself that won’t entice another better team to take him on. Juncos said they want to sign a driver to 2/3 years, Callum only wants one year. Callum also said he didn’t want to be the only driver and Juncos is a one driver team next year too. Indycar was probably the best option in theory but now he’s looking at Europe again as a back up because it not living up to expectations

yea i've really noticed he hasnt posted about it like. at all?? usually hes all over instagram with results and all, even did that if i remember right in 2019 when things definitely weren't. too good. no race updates, no results, nothing. just aesthetic videos of whatever american beach he's at now. juncos doesnt look like a great option if i look at what u just told me, it was to be expected that he wasnt about to do what christian did in a way worse car. i think if he stays in europe in gt or lmp (idk how lmp works rip) he can sort of stay within view of f1 teams? it's really not likely he's still gonna reach f1 (thats the sound of my heart breaking yes) but. yeah. lost my train of thought but anyway, i think ur right yeah.

[sarcastically-callum]

Callum Ilott will race his first GT World Challenge Europe at 15:00 am track time in Monza. Yes, he will race at the same time as F1 in Imola.

Better get ready and prepare a second device to watch both races.

Michael Strahan on His Favorite Cars of All Time

Michael Strahan definitely appreciates the finer things in life. The October Men’s Journal cover star collects mechanical watches, enjoys traveling throughout Europe, and is a big fan of golf. We can add one more thing to that list: cars. Behind the scenes at our cover shoot, Strahan made it clear that he loves them. But asking him to pick just one ride? That’s a much harder question. “I don’t have a favorite,” he told Men’s Journal, “that is the problem.”

]] Michael Strahan Shares His Top 5 Secrets for SuccessLet’s rephrase—if he could only get in the driver’s seat a few more times, what cars would Strahan drive next? Easy: His V10-powered Porsche Carrera GT would be at the top of the list, and it holds a special place in his heart (and presumably also in his garage). He pointed out that its monstrous, 603-horsepower engine was originally developed for F1 racing, so this car can really haul. “It is powerful, torquey, it has everything you want,” he said, “and you have to pay attention when you drive it.” It’s also very rare: Just over 1,200 examples of this supercar were made during its limited production run from 2004 to 2006. ]] How to Get Michael Strahan's Sharp Hairstyle and GoateeStrahan also loves the classics, too. His second choice is a 1971 Ferrari Daytona, and although not quite as powerful as the Porsche, it’s still got plenty of oomph. Strahan loves its sleek lines and classic styling, and it comes with a few other charms, too. “You smell like gasoline when you get out of it,” he said. “I mean, nothing’s sexier than a man that smells like gasoline.” Watch the full interview in the video above, and check out our profile on Strahan in the October issue of Men’s Journal, on newsstands now.

Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show

This is the year the future arrived at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Yes, there are plenty of interesting and significant production debuts – Bentley’s new Continental GT, BMW’s new X3 and M5, Porsche’s new Cayenne, Hyundai’s small Kona crossover, and Ferrari’s Portofino, to name a few – but the buzz is all about hybrids and electric vehicles and autonomous driving. This is the Frankfurt show where Mercedes-Benz, the company that – with some justification – claims to have invented the automobile – announced it would soon be building an electric-powered one that didn’t have a steering wheel or pedals. Loud, colorful, and with the swaggering might of the German auto industry on full display, Frankfurt 2017 is indeed an auto show to remember. Here are our picks of the best from the show floor. Star of the Show: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE There are faster hypercars. There are sexier hypercars. But there has never been a road-legal hypercar with an actual Formula 1 powertrain. Only Daimler, rich, powerful, and at the top of its game, could have the audacity – and the technical knowhow – to create a car like the Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. It shares most of its powerpack with the Mercedes-AMG Petronas grand prix racer that took Lewis Hamilton to victory in the 2015 Formula 1 World Driver’s Championship, and with more than 1000 hp on tap, it will be quicker than a Bugatti Chiron to 124 mph. The mere fact this car exists at all, complete with an airbag in the F1-style steering wheel and an air-conditioned cockpit, is cause for celebration. It’s the car at Frankfurt everyone wanted to see. –Angus MacKenzie Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept As a child of the ‘60s, I’m exceptionally drawn to this car’s true four-door pillar-less door glass design. Sure, there is zero hope of providing adequate side-impact protection this way, but c’mon! Concept cars are supposed to be flights of fancy. I also love all the raw innovation in this design, from the “brightwork” surrounding the side glass that indeed glows with a remarkably uniform white LED light, to the seat fabric, which consists of 100 square meters (!) of black fabric that ends up looking a bit like shag carpet or something. This car is yet another milepost along the Korean automaker’s road from a “fast follower” copying designs and trends, to trend setter. We should be so lucky as to get anything nearing this car’s coolness on American roads in the near future. –Frank Markus Star of the Show: Kia ProCeed Concept The Kia Proceed is liquid lust in hot red. The four-door wagon concept looks like it is racing down the street even as it sits stationary on the stand. Unfortunately it will not be in motion on U.S. streets as this concept hints at the next generation of Kia’s Cee’d family for Europe. The look is clean, elegant, with beautiful proportions. The hood actually appears shorter than it is alongside the long body with no B pillar and the sharkfin trim at the C pillar. Inside, a tangle of shaved and unshaved ribbons on the seats: 100 square meters of black fabric in total. –Alisa Priddle Best Gotcha: Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy Jaguar says it’s planning a one-make race series for the forthcoming all-electric I-Pace, and to prove the point showed a concept of what the racecar would look like on its Frankfurt show stand. Except the Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy isn’t exactly a concept. Keen-eyed showgoers comparing it with the I-Pace concept will notice the race car has different exterior mirrors, different side windows, and slightly different styling around the rear hatch. They’d also notice the creases in the bodywork aren’t quite as sharp as those on the white concept, and that a pair of wipers are nestled at the base of the windshield. Yep, hiding in plain sight on the Jaguar stand is the production version of the swoopy I-Pace. Strip away the rear wing, the side skirts, the race-face front fascia, and the racy wheels and tires, and you’ll see exactly what the twin-motor I-Pace with around 400 hp and an anticipated EPA-rated range of about 220 miles will look like when it launches in the second half of 2018. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Bentley Continental GT At last, Bentley’s gran turismo gets the extravagant proportions it deserves, courtesy of the new VW Group MSB architecture it shares with Porsche’s Panamera. MSB, which is VW Group’s front-engine, rear and all-wheel-drive architecture, has allowed Bentley design boss Stefan Sielaff and his team to place the front wheels ahead of the engine, giving the new Conti GT the extended dash-to-axle ratio that’s been a hallmark of great British sports and luxury cars since the 1920s. The new Conti GT looks lower, sleeker, and more luxurious than its pug-nosed predecessor, with crisply tailored surfaces. Inside is an interior that ups the Bentley ante for knurled metal, rich leather, and beautifully finished wood, and does it in a thoroughly contemporary manner. –Angus MacKenzie Best Production Car: Land Rover Discovery SVX This is the first Discovery to get Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations treatment. The SUV gets a version of Jaguar Land Rover’s 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 engine, tweaked to generate 517 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The SUV has an eight-speed automatic transmission and two-range transfer box. Not only will it be quick and powerful on the road, the SVO team gave it more ground clearance to go anywhere. The winch is standard and it will be hand-built at the SVO technical center with some unique body panels once it becomes available in 2018. –Alisa Priddle Best Production Car: Ferrari Portofino I never liked the California’s Nicki Minaj junk-in-the-trunk design, and the fact that this one’s basic hard points have changed so little and yet the overall look has transformed so thoroughly—and looks equally fabulous, hard-top up or down—is a real testament to the design geniuses now employed within Ferrari (not at go-to design house Pininfarina). The fact that its twin-turbo V-8 gets a 39-horse bump to within kissing distance of 600 hp is just icing on the Amaretti Cake. –Frank Markus Best Concept Car: Borgward Isabella concept The gorgeous two-tone coupe, with the darker blue on top and lighter shade below, has lines along the hood and headlights that are reminiscent of the original and stunning Isabella from the 1950s and early ‘60s. But this concept is a statement of new elegance and beauty with its sculpted sides and stylized greenhouse providing a fresh side silhouette with a C pillar that passes over the body. In addition to the wraparound taillights are headlights in an intriguing pattern that makes a yin yang pattern of Nike swooshes. Inside is a three-piece steering wheel that is appealing its simplicity and a touchscreen that cascades down from the center of the dash. Elements of the Isabella could make its way into future sedans from a company that has resurrected the past with this emotional design. –Alisa Priddle Best Concept Car: Honda Urban EV Concept With its clean, simple surfaces, and fenders flared over big wheels at each corner, the Honda Urban EV riffed on classic European hot hatches of the ’70s and ’80s, like the original Volkswagen Golf GTI and Peugeot’s 205 GTI. With a look and feel very much inspired by product design principles rather than styling whimsies, the tiny Honda—it’s four inches shorter than a Fit—is a welcome breath of fresh air from a Japanese automaker whose recent production vehicle designs have tendered to suffer from too much surface entertainment. Honda boss Takahiro Hachigo says the Urban EV previews a brand-new EV platform from the company, and a production version of the car will be on sale in Europe in 2019. –Angus MacKenzie Sketchiest Concept Vehicle: BMW X7 iPerformance Concept Oh dear. This one looks like the design team just stood back and said, “Welp, there’s gonna be no hiding the fact that this is a great big gigantic SUV, so let’s just own its gargantuan-ness.” Every design detail seems to have been chosen to accentuate the vehicle’s vertical bulk, from the disturbingly tall and toothy interpretation of the double-kidney grille to the giant L-shaped fender vents and rear fascia details. The incredibly fine pillars on the greenhouse end up looking insufficient to support the bulk of the body should the truck ever turn turtle. Here’s one we’re eager to see changed substantially on its way to production. –Frank Markus Biggest Head-Scratcher: Mercedes-AMG Project ONE Suspension Inside the spectacular Mercedes exhibit hall—which is arranged just like its museum in Stuttgart, in the round and spiraling down from several stories up—was a naked chassis of the highly anticipated F1-inspired hypercar. But after studying the front and rear suspension for 10 minutes or more, I could not for the life of me work out how the pushrod-actuated spring-damper units worked. That’s because both of them interconnect both pivot points. I look forward to watching an animation of them in action. –Frank Markus Most Innovative Parking Solution: Renault Symbioz Concept This concept takes integration a step further: the car talks to the house and the two become one. The demonstration shows the autonomous car with an interior where passengers face each other. Once at home, the car raises on a giant round pedestal to the inside of the home where it doubles as another room of the house and the two can share their energy, with electricity flowing to whichever needs it more. It is an extension of Renault’s long-running well-being theme, updated to a new tagline: French design, easy life. As a car, it is self-driving and a quick one with 670 hp and 487 lb-ft of torque. –Alisa Priddle The post Best Cars of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show appeared first on Motor Trend.

also just an FYI that it is race week for Callum this weekend — he’s racing in the TotalEnergies 24 hours of Spa this weekend, so he won’t be in Hungary with F1.

[cars4starters]

Five lucky customers from across the globe got to drive their DB4 GT “Continuation” Astons this week at the home of British Motorsport, Silverstone.

In 2016, it was announced that 25 of the cars would be recreated, built to lightweight specification using modern day production methods.

Each car takes about 4500 man hours to build and you could say the finished product is better than the original.

The special series of 25 track-only Continuation cars were constructed by Aston Martin Works at Newport Pagnell,  the same site that the original DB4 GTs were built almost 60 years ago.

One of Aston Martin’s most illustrious competition models, the DB4 GT Continuation was fittingly built to be enjoyed on track.

In fact, Aston Martin Works has begun a two-year international track driving program to be held at many the world’s finest race tracks, the first being the Silverstone Circuit.

The ultimate arrive-and-drive experience, customers will also be able to take advantage of Aston Martin’s dedicated driver training team, comprised of expert instructors under the watchful eye of Aston Martin Racing’s three time Le Mans class winner (and Goodwood Revival regular) Darren Turner.

They will help customers master driving techniques from an era when track driving was more art than science.

Aston Martin Works president Paul Spires said the special series of 25 Continuation cars have, and continue to be built in the company’s recently refurbished, state-of-the-art facilities in Newport Pagnell.

“The result is a truly remarkable machine. One that offered 25 customers the opportunity to commission a classic, built to modern day standards and ready to be enjoyed in an international track driving programme, which we are excited to commence today,” he said.

The next outing for the DB4s will take place on June 21 at Europe’s fastest racing circuit, Rockingham Motor Speedway, and then at the world famous Le Mans Race Track on July 27.

Live video: Watch Jenson Button in Super GT's Suzuka 1000km | Formula 1

But his options at the sharp end of the grid are limited, with Ferrari and Red Bull full and Mercedes set to re-sign Valtteri Bottas to partner Lewis Hamilton. Kimi Raikkonen has knocked back suggestions Ferrari instructed him to give Formula 1 teammate Sebastian Vettel a tow during qualifying for the Belgian Grand Prix, having made the decision himself after aborting his flying lap. Ferrari Formula 1 junior driver Charles Leclerc put in a dominant display to win the Formula 2 feature race at Spa ahead of Russian Time's Artem Markelov. When Spa specialist Kimi Raikkonen topped two of the three practice sessions heading into qualifying, it looked like he might be able to mount a serious challenge for pole.

Lewis has been on top form all weekend and it was a very special moment for him to take pole position number 68. Alonso has said that he only wants to stay in F1 if has competitive machinery.

[acrosstobear]

i just wish things could go his way for once. every damn time he gets back up after a hard hit, when it looks like he’ll finally be able to turn the page, he gets pushed back down again. stays in europe, doesn’t get the f1 seat. goes to gt, loses podiums for stupid penalties. goes to Indy for three races, dnf’s for two of them, gets into a big crash, misses out on the chance of driving in two f1 races because he’s in america. goes back to gt, on his way to a win and crashes out.

it just never ends and it’s taking a toll on me, so I can’t even begin to imagine what’s it like for him. he’s so strong, but he must have a breaking point like the rest of us and I’m scared that he’ll reach it. I know I would’ve given up by now.

literally you could not have summed it up better. it doesn’t seem to matter what decisions he makes — no matter what it somehow ends up going wrong. the only real highlight from this year was Le Mans, which thankfully went as well as it could have.

i totally agree, it’s absolutely taken a toll on me. it sucks to be invested in someone’s success and to watch race after race as they DNF or get penalized or just generally do badly. and if it sucks this much for us, as fans, it must be absolutely agonizing to actually be Callum living through it. i just truly hope he’s got the right support system around him and has people that are able to get him out of his head and help him process these blows.
