Why did Thomas Preining stay in his cockpit after taking his third Norisring DTM victory on Sunday, then unsteadily limp to his father instead of jumping on the roof of his Porsche like he usually does? "Unfortunately, I injured my ankle while running in the woods at home three weeks ago, then there were two 24-hour races and now here," the Manthey driver told ran.de, referring to his major ...Keep readingView the full article

Shane van Gisbergen remains near-unstoppable on the streets of Chicago. In five starts between the Xfinity and Cup Series, he has won four of them. The only race he attempted but didn't manage to win was the Cup race in 2024, and that's because he got wrecked out of the event. With his latest victory, he joins Denny Hamlin, Kyle Larson, and Christopher Bell as the only drivers with multiple Cup ...Keep readingView the full article

It’s no secret that the Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma are two of the most popular models in overlanding — and driving at large. Toyota recently introduced a new frontier for its two icons, focused specifically on overlanding; the new 2025 Trailhunter grade, designed to bring overlanding innovation and upgrades to the forefront. Here’s a full breakdown of Trailhunter, from new technologies and upgrades to increased value for the customer. Buckle up. What makes the 2025 Trailhunter grade different? The Trailhunter grade was first introduced on the all-new 2024 Tacoma and has been expanded to the all-new 2025 4Runner. Toyota’s Trailhunter grade was designed specifically with overlanding in mind, and features key innovations and technology to help make the experience more seamless than ever before. The Trailhunter grade’s key features include its suspension enhancement and off-road accessories; in short, it’s got all the bells and whistles to make adventuring more fun than ever. The Trailhunter grade was desgined in collaboration with ARB®, Old Man Emu® and RIGID Industries®, and includes durable components and integrated off-road equipment that have been mainstays in the overlanding community for years. According to Toyota, “Both the Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner Trailhunter grades include a 2.4-liter i-FORCE MAX hybrid powertrain delivering 323 horsepower and 465 lb.-ft. of torque.” Additional standard features on both models include Old Man Emu® suspension, rugged steel skid plates, a high-mount air intake, and onboard air compressor. Building on the inaugural 2024 Trailhunter, the 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter comes stock with an ARB steel rear bumper and ARB Sport bar, while the 2025 Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter upgrades include an ARB® roof rack. Both 2025 Trailhunter grades come equipped with 33-inch rugged-terrain tires wrapped around 18-inch bronze-finished wheels. What accessories can customers expect on the 2025 Trailhunter grade? It’s pretty much assumed that everyone who loves overlanding loves overlanding accessories, and Toyota took that into account when developing the 2025 Trailhunter grade. Thanks to the company’s colllaboration with well-known names in the overlanding community, consideration was given to protection and recovery (the Tacoma rear bumper), mounting platforms for accessories (the bed rack, roof rack and sport bar) and a suspension tuned for the demands of overlanding. The Trailhunter grade comes standard with integrated overlanding equipment that customers will need to get out to the furthest reaches of the backcountry. Take the suspension upgrades that come stock on the Trailhunter: the Old Man Emu® suspension, with 2.5-inch forged monotube shocks and external remote reservoirs, prioritizes the ruggedness, capability and stability that overlanders rely on traveling the toughest routes. Unless you’re deeply experienced wrenching on your rig, modifying your vehicle’s suspension and other foundational basics can be overwhelming — and when it comes to safety, getting things right is key. That’s why, rather than throwing a fancy rooftop tent on the 2025 Trailhunter as an upgrade and calling it a day, Toyota innovated its overlanding-specific grade from the bottom up, ensuring foundational suspension, lift and protection were all dialed. Not only do these included upgrades give peace of mind on the trail — they also keep the vehicle’s warranty intact, another bonus for customers. Both the 4Runner and Tacoma Trailhunter grades come standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which is the company’s suite of advanced driver-assist features designed for use on and off the road. Additionally, off-road nav tools and Multi-Terrain Monitors help drivers navigate tough conditions, with front, side or rear views being selectable on the go. Visibility is another key component to overlanding safely, and Toyota beefed up the lighting system on the 2025 Trailhunter grade: both models feature RIGID Industries® white-and-amber color-switching LED fog lights, and an integrated LED light bar on the bronze grille. Is the 2025 Trailhunter grade is available now? The short answer? Yes. If you’re intrigued by the innovative 2025 Trailhunter grade, both grades are available now. The 2025 Tacoma Trailhunter starts at $31,590, while the 2025 4Runner Trailhunter starts at $41,270. View the full article

It was another wild NASCAR Cup race at Chicago with non-stop action from start to finish. Shane van Gisbergen sweeping the weekend was a rather predictable outcome, but it didn't take away from the fact that the race was full of epic storylines. In fact, there were so many winners and losers, we can't possibly mention them all here. Some other 'winners' who didn't quite make the list: Kyle ...Keep readingView the full article

While Shane van Gisbergen was once again the driver to beat on Sunday, his closest competition never got a fair shot in the end due to some mechanical gremlins. Michael McDowell started from the outside of the front row at the Chicago Street Course and took the lead from SVG on the opening lap. He went on to win Stage 1 and appeared to be a real threat for the win. The Spire Motorsports driver ...Keep readingView the full article

On a late-race restart at Chicago, things got wild at the entry of Turn 1. Ross Chastain ended up getting spun sideways, and the first car he saw after getting straightened out had an immediate bullseye on it. That was Joey Logano in the No. 22 Ford, who was directly behind Chastain when the incident began, however, video shows that he (and several others) were pushed into the No. 1 ...Keep readingView the full article
