    NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace Loses Sponsor After Losing Temper During Virtual Race

    Sports around the world is at a standstill and that includes all forms of motor racing so fans and drivers are resorting to the next best thing; virtual racing.

    iRacing is a very popular platform with professionals, amateur drivers and recently some NASCAR drivers pedalling from the comfort of their own rigs.

    After sparring with Clint Bowyer around a digitized Bristol circuit, Bubba Wallace (who in real life drives the No. 43 Richard Petty Motorsports Camaro) tried taking a high line up near the wall just as Bowyer’s car was moving for essentially the same position. The drivers’ digital rides clipped, sending Wallace’s lightly into the wall. Bowyer’s car spins, resulting in an impact with another car that then sends Bowyer back into Wallace’s ride, harder, and crashing him out.

    Bubba was having none of it and yelled “C’mon, Clint! God!” he calmed down and said, “Y’all have a good one” and began packing up his rig.

    We have all been there and lost our tempers playing games so it is not that hard to believe but one of his sponsors decided they don’t like quitters and stripped his sponsorship then and there on Twitter.

    GTK where you stand. Bye bye Bubba. We're interested in drivers, not quitters.

    Just to explain how realistic the NASCAR is you need to know that the crew chiefs are in their drivers’ ears as well as Jeff Gordon and Mike Joy on the headsets calling the races.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
