IndyCar has appointed Beaux Barfield as its race director for the 2012 season. Barfield, who has served as race director of the American Le Mans Series since 2008, fills the role vacated by Brian Barnhart, who was removed in November 2011 after a series of controversial decisions during the season.

ParkatmyHouse lets you rent your driveway for parking
Filed under: Etc., Technology
We've never found ourselves with an excess of driveway space, but if that changes any time in the near future, there's a chance the vacant asphalt could make us a buck or two. Parkatmyhouse.com allows users to upload photos of their driveways, garages or yards and then rent the space for parking on a monthly basis. The program is just getting underway here in the U.S., though UK drivers have been using the site for some time now. Across the pond, parking via the site can cost anywhere from $10 to $30 per day, and the service's organizers say Parkatmyhouse.com has earned users more than $5 million.
Currently, the service is looking to get off of the ground in New York City, Boston and Washington, D.C., so if you have space and are willing to put up with someone's vehicle in your way day in and day out, head over to the site and sign up. It may just pay for your new garage in no time.

Ford set to double the amount of SYNC-controlled apps at CES
Filed under: Coupe, CES, Technology, Hatchback, Electric
For the fourth year in a row, Ford is going big at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and that includes the North American debut of the Evos concept, a new production car and even more SYNC-controlled apps.
Next week at CES, Ford will reveal the 2013 Ford Fusion, which is also set to bow halfway across the country at the Detroit Auto Show. Joining the Fusion will be the normal smattering of Mustangs and Focus sedans, hatchbacks and the all-new Electric, along with the Evos concept that debuted earlier this year. The Evos' presence is particularly important, as it outlines Ford's plan for a cloud-connected vehicle, and there's a chance we'll see those concepts evolved even further at CES.
Finally, Ford reps say they'll be doubling the amount of apps available through the automaker's SYNC infotainment system, so expect more streaming, more social and more connected apps to be available later this year.

You could certainly say that Fredrik Tackman is a quick learner. Last season he finished a respectable 13th in the iRacing.com Star Mazda Series with seven wins in 22 starts. Season 4? He’s leading all comers after eight weeks of racing, with 19 wins (and 38 top fives overall) in 42 starts. But as the 40-something (at least until October!) from Ostersund, Sweden says it’s not really the results that give him pleasure so much as the feeling of being in control of the car.

Ferrari is confident that the technical restructuring and staff changes it undertook during a disappointing 2011 campaign are now paying off as it strives to get back on terms with chief rivals Red Bull and McLaren this year. The Scuderia finished a distant third in the constructors' championship and scored just one win - Fernando Alonso's at Silverstone in July. From early on in 2011 it was clear that Ferrari's 150 Italia had been too conservative a design, struggled to warm up the harder compound Pirelli tyres and its development suffered from poor correlation with the team's wind tunnel data
