Carolina Nips Florida . . . on Average

More than 85 sim racers from the Carolina and Florida Clubs did battle in half a dozen online races on Sunday and Tuesday in their first Club v Club tournament. The competition featured a trio of races on Sunday evening, followed by a day (and night) of rest on Monday before three more races on Tuesday.   Although Florida came out on top in terms of raw numbers, after the weighted scoring system was applied, Carolina was declared the winner and granted unchallenged bragging rights ? at least until the next Club v Club tournament! Given that the Club v Club tourney attracted slightly more than twice the number of Floridians  than Carolinians, the organizers decided that taking the average points scored by each driver from the two respective clubs was [...]

The subcompact B-segment is where it's at these days. This once-overlooked segment of vehicles has been booming lately, what with recent additions like the Ford Fiesta and Mazda2, not to mention soon-to-be-released models like the Chevrolet Sonic, Nissan Versa, Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio. Toyota is a player in this segment, but the Yaris, isn't exactly aging too well, but a brand new version is just around the corner. That is, if these photos from a Hungarian Toyota dealership's Facebook page are anything to go on.

This stylish new Yaris looks to be the end result of what renderings and spy shots have foretold, though it's still unclear whether or not this is indeed the car that will be sold here in the United States - this could simply be the Euro-market Yaris. Either way, if this new hatchback is destined for consumption here in the States, we'll likely hear about it within the coming months.
