Student wins Red Bull video contest – Kayla Higginbotham won an awesome promotion through Red Bull and was awarded a nearly eight minute ride-along with this year’s champion, Travis Pastrana.

Haha. Awesome.

I really just wanted to learn how to drive like rally drivers. So I bought a rally car, and I plan to compete as much as possible to gain experience and to have some fun.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS to make its debut in Formula D – I have yet to see one of these cars in official competition livery, but the article does have a nice mock-up photo. Interesting looking car.
