One Lap of the Web: Forsberg can't stop, won't stop drifting

-- Jann Mardenborough won the "Nissan GT Academy" back in 2011 and since then has finished on the podium at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as participating in the Infiniti Red Bull Racing driver program with aspirations of Formula One. He explains what it's like to move on from video games -- which he started playing at age 7 -- and transitioning into real sports cars. Mardenborough, it must be said, once drove too fast in British GT to be considered an amateur, but not quick enough to enter the pro class -- and race organizers, who didn't know what else to do, gave him a time penalty so the amateurs could catch up.

-- In the Maine transportation hierarchy, the horse reigns supreme. If someone is riding a horse on a public road, they have the right of way. If the animal is frightened, the driver must pull over to the side of the road and wait for the horse to regain its nerves. It is illegal to annoy, startle or frighten an animal on the road, but Rob Morin, chair of the Maine Horse Council, says he has had drivers "honk, yell and throw things" while he drives his horse. To annoy Mr. Morin is a $140 fine. Rapscallions, the lot of 'em.

-- Like all life-changing things, this story started as a chance Craigslist posting: "VINTAGE MOTORCYCLE COLLECTION," the ad said, and somehow it led to the original Captain America motorcycle from 1979. The "Captain America" TV movies employed a Yamaha TT-500 single, wrapped in fiberglass and ridden by Reb Brown as the leotard-clad Captain, who "fights crime on a motorcycle that bursts through smoke out of a spectacular custom van." Hey, it was the 1970s. That music is something else.

-- Formula Drift driver -- and current leader this season -- Chris Forsberg drifts a Skyline-powered Datsun 240Z (with a Clarion audio system, which is fitting since this is an ad for his sponsor). Pretty cool ad, as shown above. The world will always need people who buy magazines about car stereos.
