Automakers battling it out for lap records is one of the coolest parts of car culture. Customers and fans get a no-holds-barred view at just what these vehicles can do. Better yet, they get to see them at the hands of a professional driver and typically on a track that most enthusiasts are familiar with. For example, in early 2026, we've seen Ford and Chevy trade top spots at the Nürburgring with the Mustang GTD and Corvette ZR1X. Watching two American brands trade punches on one of Europe's most demanding circuits is pretty entertaining.

For Corvette engineer Tony Roma, though, that alone isn't enough reason to go back. Speaking on The Drivecast, GM's Executive Chief Engineer for Corvette and Performance Cars explained that his team isn't planning an immediate response to the Mustang GTD Competition. Chevrolet had already chosen Pikes Peak as its next ZR1X showcase before Ford returned to the Nürburgring this year. "I know that disappoints a lot of people," Roma acknowledged.

There were patients within that house. We did not take the time to analyze how much water is it going to take to put the fire out. We took action right away,” said deputy health minister Eric Beaulieu at a legislative committee on Wednesday.

This GM Plant Might Be Headed For An 18-Month Production Hiatus

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. About a year ago, General Motors said it will be axing the current Cadillac CT5 after 2026, and production is scheduled to end in December. That said, the CT5 will be returning in about two years as a 2029 model, but the timeline leaves us with some important questions regarding one of GM’s production facilities. We’re referring to the Lansing Grand River plant up in Michigan, whose future seems very uncertain until CT5 production resumes. The factory might be on its way toward an extended pause while the next Cadillac luxury sedan is being developed, as GM hasn’t clarified its plans in that regard.

Delinquent Auto Loans Are Rising And The Industry Could Come Crashing Down: Report

Classic gems, tasteful customs, legendary supercars - for Silvian, they're all fair game. He's been in love with cars and motorcycles for as long as he can remember, so it made perfect sense to eventually turn that passion into a full-time writing career. Around six years and more than 3,000 articles later, he is still going strong and doesn't plan on hitting the brakes anytime soon. Remember the subprime mortgage crisis that ultimately resulted in the global financial meltdown of 2008? Bad loans, sketchy financial instruments, and defaults from high-risk borrowers plunged the world into the worst economic downturn since The Great Depression. Lessons were learned and measures have been taken to make sure something like that never happens again – right? So you’d think, but there’s a reason why we’re bringing up the GFC and it most certainly isn’t good. A Reuters report recently brought some chilling details to light about the current state and trajectory of auto loans in America. Many parallels can be drawn between where said market stands right now and the factors leading to the housing crash nearly two decades ago, which is rather concerning to say the least.
