Twin suction turbines and 3-Gs in slow corners? Meet the DRG-Lola.

The concept is meant to inspire the next generation of electric single-seaters.

We’re in something of a purple patch if you’re a fan of clever new technology in single-seat race cars. Out in the Middle East, the autonomous A2RL crew held another race at Yas Marina, one that by all accounts was a lot more impressive than the last time the self-driving race cars competed against a human. Formula E teams are getting ready for the debut next year of their Gen4 era, which sees cars with real downforce and almost twice as much power. Meanwhile we only have a few months left before we see the results of F1’s new technical rules change, as the sport adopts far more powerful electrical propulsion and active aerodynamics. But what if there was an electric single-seater that was faster around a track than any of these?

That’s the idea behind the DRG-Lola, a racing concept designed from the ground up by Lola Cars, the storied-now-reborn British race car manufacturer, and Lucas di Grassi, veteran of the hybrid LMP1 sportscar days and FIA Formula E champion. Di Grassi is one of the more thoughtful racing drivers out there and is a passionate advocate of clean technologies in racing—in 2020 he shared his earlier thoughts on where Formula E could take its technical direction.

The DRG-Lola is much closer to reality than that 2020 concept; di Grassi has relied on existing battery and motor technology, rather than some uninvented unobtanium to make it all work. It generates 804 hp (600 kW) from a pair of electric motors driving the front and rear axles and is powered by a 60 kWh battery pack that’s arranged in modules on either side of the driver’s cockpit.

Torrent Giant YTS Returns to .LT Domain After .MX ‘Vanishes’

After five years of operating in relatively stable waters, popular torrent site YTS is on the move again. The site’s Mexican domain name, YTS.mx, suddenly stopped resolving yesterday and has effectively vanished. While the official reason remains unclear, the YTS operators decided to return to one of their previous homes, YTS.lt.

From: TF, for the latest news on copyright battles, piracy and more.

YTSWith millions of regular users, YTS is arguably the most visited torrent site on the internet today.

The current operators ‘unofficially’ took over the YTS brand in 2015 after the original group threw in the towel. Since then, it has amassed a rather impressive user base.

After adopting one of the most iconic piracy brands, YTS faced its fair share of legal troubles. In 2019, the popular torrent site and its operator were accused of mass copyright infringement in multiple lawsuits filed by filmmakers in the United States. Surprisingly, YTS managed to settle these lawsuits to live another day, although that came at a price.

YTS also dealt with various domain name challenges. When the site first entered the scene, it was operating from the YTS.ag domain name, which it traded in for YTS.am a few years later. In 2019, the torrent site moved to YTS.lt, which it swapped for the YTS.mx domain in 2020.

YTS.mx = Gone

Over the past five years, the Mexican ccTLD proved to be a rather stable domain option, but that didn’t last.

Visitors to YTS yesterday became aware that the YTS.mx domain had stopped resolving. Many simply assumed that the site had issues due to the global Cloudflare outage but hours after Cloudflare’s troubles had been resolved, YTS.mx remained unreachable.

This was not a simple domain suspension either, as the domain’s nameservers appear to have completely vanished.

NXDOMAIN

In fact, according to the Mexican domain name registry, YTS.mx no longer exists. This is highly unusual since the domain was prepaid through 2028. Clearly, an external intervention forced the action.

YTS Relocates to .LT

Initially, the YTS team remained quiet, but through various official communication channels, they eventually confirmed that something was up. While the operators don’t explain what the problem was, they note that the site has relocated to YTS.lt.

“Please use https://yts.lt (YTS.LT) for now to access our site. We’re working on some updates, and this domain will be the best way to stay connected. Stay tuned for more info!,” they note.

YTS Update

As we were writing this article, the official YTS Status site was also updated. All mentions of the .mx domain name have been removed in what appears to be more than a temporary update.

Indeed, in an edited blog post on YTS.lt, the team now confirms that YTS.MX is no longer used.

Legal Pressure?

While it is apparent that the .MX domain name issues are serious, it is not immediately clear what caused them. TorrentFreak asked Registry .MX for a comment on the situation, but the organization did not immediately respond.

It is possible that third-party pressure by copyright holders may have played a role here. Earlier this year, the U.S. Trade Representative identified YTS.mx as a notorious piracy market. And a few weeks ago, YTS was nominated as a notorious market again by various rightsholders.

For now, all we know for sure is that YTS.mx is gone. If more information becomes available, we will update this article accordingly.

OnePlus 15 review: The end of range anxiety

OnePlus delivers its second super-fast phone of 2025.

OnePlus got its start courting the enthusiast community by offering blazing-fast phones for a low price. While the prices aren’t quite as low as they once were, the new OnePlus 15 still delivers on value. Priced at $899, this phone sports the latest and most powerful Snapdragon processor, the largest battery in a mainstream smartphone, and a super-fast screen.

The OnePlus 15 still doesn’t deliver the most satisfying software experience, and the camera may actually be a step back for the company, but the things OnePlus gets right are very right. It’s a fast, sleek phone that runs for ages on a charge, and it’s a little cheaper than the competition. But its shortcomings make it hard to recommend this device over the latest from Google or Samsung—or even the flagship phone OnePlus released ten months ago.

US buyers have time to mull it over, though. Because of the recent government shutdown, FCC approval of the OnePlus 15 has been delayed. The company says it will release the phone as soon as it can, but there’s no exact date yet.
