Yeop, we are big fans of desert racing since we've visited the General Tire Mint 400 in Las Vegas this year. So we would have posted this epic Riot Racing video anyway.

But what we just learned—and actually didn't know—is who drives the #68 trophy truck. His name is Marc Ewing. This name won't sound very familiar to gear heads. But this name will sound familiar to every open source hacking software geek out there—Marc is the founder of Red Hat (Linux).

Open Source Desert Racing!

Since some days now this amazing video has been sitting as a "starred item" in my Google Reader, waiting to get published. It's the latest work of Format67.org — I wrote about them here. 

@Arian: Word up — you're right. And wow - I didn't realize it was Ayrton Senna who is speaking the intro!

I know. Pulp isn't new. But this video still makes me smile. Please check out Neil Krug's latest work on Flickr.

I am not a Porsche fanboy. But this awesome video from Will Roegge about Jeff Zwart's new record (11:31.095) makes want to have a GT3. Now. To be exact.

Btw, here you'll find an in car video - just in case you are looking for a more "pure" version.

Mr. Roegge, I take my hat off to your work.

Kati Dalek photographs a 1964 Magirus Deutz Merkur for the German Abgefahren Magazin. A splendid video by Christoph Wick. This is how Making-Ofs should look like!
