EVO takes the Caparo T1 to the Ring – See The Video

Caparo T1 at the Nürburgring – Click above to watch the video after the jump

It’s been a long time since we’ve heard anything about the Caparo T1. The Red Bull X1 may cut a similar profile, but unlike the strictly digital creation, the Caparo was actually built. Unfortunately, it didn’t catch on as planned, but a minor detail like minimal market share can’t stop EVO from pounding the snot out of it in Germany.

The British car rag is known for featuring only the good stuff, and in this case took the T1 for a spin around no less iconic a racetrack than the Nürburgring Nordschleife. As you can see from the video after the jump, this wasn’t a closed-circuit record lap, EVO‘s Phil Bennett having to scythe his way through other traffic on the track. But watching the T1 make minced meat out of the 911 GT3s and Jaguar XFRs as if they’re standing still is promise enough. And watch for the Jag pendulum powerslide mid-way through

PS3 Dragon Age Ultimate Edition missing Ostagar DLC in Europe

The European PS3 release of the Dragon Age: Origins Ultimate Edition isn’t as ultimate as buyers would probably like. Players are reporting that the “Return to Ostagar” content, one of seven DLC packs supposed to be included in the package, is missing. It’s in the menu, but doesn’t load. Just one more problem for this bizarrely troublesome content.

According to Eurogamer, EA is aware of the issue, and is giving vouchers for the Ostagar DLC to those affected. Just contact Customer Services to have them return Ostagar to you. And now we know why it wasn’t named the “Return to Ostagar Is Definitely On the Disc” Edition.

Jim Leyritz DUI Manslaughter Trial to Begin Monday

Jim Leyritz will see trial for DUI manslaughter Monday, almost three years after a Florida crash killed Fredia Ann Veitch.

Leyritz, 46, allegedly had a 0.14 blood-alcohol level — almost double the legal limit — in December 2007 when he ran a red light and collided with Veitch’s car, throwing her from the vehicle. Leyritz has pleaded not guilty. He faces four to 15 years in prison if convicted.

David Bogenschutz, Leyritz’s attorney, described his strategy: “We’re going with ‘prove it.’ ” Leyrtiz settled a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Veitch’s family for $250,000 in insurance and a $1,000 monthly payment by Leyritz.

Two witnesses, including a passenger in Leyritz’s car, claim that Leyritz ran a red light. Leyritz’s camp has already been denied the ability to claim that Veitch was also intoxicated and not wearing her seatbelt, saying it doesn’t change the fundamental fact that Leyritz was allegedly drunk when he hit and killed Veitch.
