Raikkonen: Bahrain podium possible
Kimi Raikkonen is confident his Lotus team will be quick enough to fight for a podium at the Bahrain Grand Prix after his near-miss in China - and the Enstone squad reckons its upgrades should also work better at Sakhir than at Shanghai. Raikkonen was running second going into the closing stages in China, but the strategy of pitting twice with a very long final stint backfired. As his tyres faded, Raikkonen tumbled right back to 14th

Official: Ford introduces cargo van version of Transit Custom
Filed under: Minivan/Van, Europe, Work, Ford
European buyers now know what to expect from the Ford Transit Custom cargo van. The work version of the van bowed at the Birmingham Commercial Vehicle Show this week with the new exterior and more refined cabin that first appeared on the Ford Tourneo Custom passenger van.
Buyers outside of North America will be able to choose between a short wheelbase version with a total length of 16.3 feet or a long wheelbase configuration that spans 17.5 feet from stem to stern. Indoors, the van can deliver up to 212 cubic feet of cargo area, or three european pallets stacked three-feet high. In addition, the floor offers enough space between the wheel wells to accommodate a 4x8 sheet of material.
The Transit Custom isn't headed to the North American market, though, which begs the question: Why do we care? Ford is set to replace the aging E-Series with a different Transit van that's specific to our continent, though that vehicle will be based on the global Transit Custom we see here. According to Ford, our van will yield 25-percent better fuel economy than the current E-Series thanks to either the same Ecoboost 3.5-liter V6 currently found in the nose of the F-150 or a diesel powerplant. The North American Transit is also supposed to weigh in 300 pounds less than its predecessor.

Tarquini grid penalty revised
Gabriele Tarquini will be allowed to start from 12th position in both of Sunday's World Toruing Car Championship races around the streets of Marrakech, after stewards revised their decision to strip him of his lap times from both parts of qualifying. The Italian's Lukoil SEAT Leon was found to be underweight in post-qualifying technical checks, leading to the initial penalty. As a result of the revised decision, Tarquini will only lose his Q2 times, where he qualified fifth, and will not now be forced to start from the back of the grid

Rahal put on probation for clash
Ganassi driver Graham Rahal has been placed on probation for the next six events after a post-race investigation found him to be responsible for the accident that took himself and Marco Andretti out of Sunday's IndyCar race in Long Beach. Andretti was attempting to pass Rahal on lap 22 when Rahal appeared to move over slightly on the Andretti Autosport car, resulting in Andretti running into Rahal's right-rear wheel and being launched into the air. "Due to the inability of the #38 car to continue the race, a review of the on-track actions of Graham Rahal became a post-race issue," said Beaux Barfield, IndyCar president of competition and series race director.

Power fastest in morning practice
Will Power set the fastest time in Saturday's third IndyCar practice session in Long Beach. On a morning peppered with several red flag interruptions, Power managed to make the most of the available time under greens to post a best lap of 1m10.7553s, putting him just 0.0170 seconds clear of Andretti Autosport's Ryan Hunter-Reay. Power's Penske team-mate Helio Castroneves was third-fastest, but also triggered one of the reds when he caught too much of the kerb on the inside of Turn 5 and was pitched into the wall.

Video: Wheels of Destruction combines first-person shooters with futuristic cars
Filed under: Videos, Toys/Games
There's nothing unusual about vehicles in first-person shooters - Rage has its Jetter and Cuprino, Battlefield 3 has two entire classes of wheeled vehicles - but there's usually still a person involved. But what about when your vehicle is your shooter? Then you have the PS3 game Wheels of Destruction World Tour, which is essentially Death Race 2 without the felons and bad acting.
There are three classes in the arcade-style game: Scout, Heavy and Assassin. Your job is to pilot one of them in "death matches, free-for-alls, and capture-the-flag frenzies." The goal seems simple: "battle to crush opponents, slaying everything in your path of relentless devastation, both online and off."
And don't forget high scores. There are a couple of gameplay and instructional vids after the jump.
