F1 is weird, Exhibit 8,439,172: after postponing the Bahrain Grand Prix in April because of things, er, getting out of hand in the Middle East, the race has been rescheduled… thousands of miles away in Sepang. No, really. The race formerly known as the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will now be called…

This is an old car once owned by a man who made really fast ones. It’s a 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe – one of only six ever made – that spent a considerable amount of time in the custody of the man who designed it. That’d be Carroll Shelby. It’s news because – surprise!…
