Race-car brakes live a pretty miserable life. A driver arrives at the end of a straight carrying enormous speed, converts that kinetic energy into heat, accelerates away, and then asks the brakes to do it all over again a few seconds later.<...

Two carbon-fiber racing helmets can sit next to each other on a shelf, look remarkably similar, and belong to very different categories of safety equipment. The certification label is where the real story begins. <...

The Mustang GTD isn't a conventional Mustang with a bigger engine and a more aggressive aero package. Ford gave it a rear-mounted transaxle, carbon-fiber driveshaft, dry-sump lubrication, Multimatic suspension, extensive aerodynamic development, and 815 horse...

Horsepower is easy to measure. So are tire pressures, alignment settings, brake temperatures, and lap times. Driver movement is harder to quantify. Every time your body slides inside the seat, your muscles have to compensate. Your legs brace against the car. Y...
