Motorsport

Motorsport is where the automotive industry’s best ideas get stress-tested at speed until either the idea survives or the car doesn’t. It is also where manufacturers spend extraordinary sums of money proving things that are, occasionally, completely irrelevant to the cars they actually sell. Cars & Code covers motorsport through an enthusiast lens — the history, the engineering stories, the moments where racing changed road cars, and the occasions where it very obviously didn’t. No race-by-race results. Just the stories worth telling.
