📰 Dream Car Classified / The Man, the Myth and His Legendary Ferrari 360 Modena

Presented by RevHard Motors
By Josh Juhasz

It’s not JDM, and it ain’t for sale at RevHard Motors (technically), but this Italian icon once owned by Hollywood legend, Paul Walker is available for fractional ownership now!

The $RS1 presale has just entered Stage 2, opening access to a wider segment of the community. Those who hold a Titanium or Carbon Founder’s Club Key, or 300K $BSTR.

Keys, $BSTR, and $RS1 can be purchased at drvnvhcls.app 

The 360 marked a turning point for Ferrari. It was the brands first all aluminum production car. Lighter. More rigid. With a high-revving flat plane V8. 

A modernized Ferrari built for balance and pure driving bliss. It still felt mechanical. The steering, precise. The engine response, immediate. Nothing filtered. Nothing simulated. 

For Paul Walker, that mattered. This car wasn't chosen to be seen. It was chosen to be driven. And he did. 72,000 miles of seat time woven into its being. 

That context is why this Modena is valued differently today. Not as a celebrity accessory, but as a documented piece of real automotive history. Now this Ferrari enters its next phase. At drvnvhcls.app it is preserved and enjoyed by a community of co-owners. Join us to learn how to exit spectator mode and own the cars that move the culture.

See it in person at ETH Denver—Feb. 13-21

The RS1 Ferrari will be on display next week and the annual ETH Denver conference. And it will be wearing a custom livery featuring some early sponsors, exclusively for the event.

If you’re attending, stop by our booth, say hi, and enter a drag race to win DRVN Labo merch. You can’t miss us… We’ll be the ones with the red Ferrari.

If you’re an $RS1 holder, or a member of the Founder’s Club, we’ll be doing in-car interviews to hear your story of why you’re bullish on our mission to bring car-culture onchain. And yes, that means you will be able to sit in the car.

And if you won’t be in Denver, follow along on X.

Market Snapshot

Manual Ferrari 360 Modenas have clearly broken away from their “entry Ferrari” past, with low‑mile gated 6‑speeds now trading in a different bracket than driver‑grade F1-trans cars.

Recent data shows average 360s still changing hands in the 75,000–115,000 dollar range, but sub‑5,000‑mile gated coupes like the 2,900‑mile Hypercars example at 171,000 dollars are firmly into collector‑grade territory, sitting alongside premium variants such as the Challenge Stradale and well‑documented 6‑speed Spiders.

Within that context, our tokenized 360 previously owned by Paul Walker, appraised at $220,000, lives in an even more rarefied slice of the market. It benefits from the same macro tailwinds—analog gated experience, naturally aspirated V8, and the 360’s emerging status as a modern classic—while adding a powerful layer of cultural provenance linked to 2000s tuner culture and the Fast & Furious era, giving it long‑term collectability that is tied not just to Ferrari indices, but to an entire generation’s nostalgia curve.

🧠 Buster’s Based Metatations / The Calm Hands Principle

Presented by the $BSTR token
By @Rext_Racer

An angry driver is fast… For about three corners.

Then he misses an apex.
Over-brakes into a hairpin.
Stabs the throttle too early and fights snap oversteer on exit.

A calm driver?
He might not look dramatic. He might not feel dramatic.
But he’s the one who quietly strings together perfect laps.

Right now, the crypto markets feel like that angry driver.

Red candles.
Reposting FUD.
Capitulation talk.
Everyone gripping the wheel a little too tight.

And that’s exactly when the Stoics would remind us of apatheia.

What Apatheia Actually Means

Apatheia doesn’t mean apathy.

It doesn’t mean you stop caring.
It means you stop being ruled by destructive emotion.

For the Stoics — especially Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius — the goal wasn’t to eliminate feeling. It was to eliminate emotional chaos. To act from judgment, not impulse.

They believed the only things truly in your control are:

  • Your perceptions

  • Your decisions

  • Your actions

Markets? Not in your control.
Other drivers? Not in your control.
Weather? Not in your control.

Your hands on the wheel? That’s yours.

The Angry Driver

Let’s extend the metaphor.

An angry driver makes predictable mistakes:

  • Overdrives the car to “make up time”

  • Forces passes that aren’t there

  • Blames traffic instead of adjusting

  • Reacts instead of anticipates

He’s not slow because he lacks skill.
He’s slow because he lacks composure.

Translate that to markets:

  • Chasing pumps after missing entries

  • Panic selling into capitulation

  • Revenge trading after losses

  • Doom-scrolling until conviction disappears

None of that is strategic.
It’s emotional throttle application.

And emotional throttle always breaks traction.

The Calm Driver

The calm driver operates differently.

He understands that:

  • Grip levels change

  • Not every corner is an overtaking opportunity

  • Sometimes the fastest lap feels almost boring

He leaves margin.
He waits for the clean passing window.
He accepts that some laps are about preservation, not domination.

In a bearish market, that might mean:

  • Holding steady instead of reacting

  • Accumulating slowly instead of gambling

  • Sitting in cash without feeling weak

  • Letting volatility exhaust itself

Composure compounds.

Panic compounds too — just in the wrong direction.

Apatheia in Motion

Apatheia is mental traction control.

It doesn’t slow you down — it keeps you from spinning out.

The Stoics practiced something radical:
They pre-rehearsed adversity. They expected downturns. They assumed friction.

So when difficulty arrived, it didn’t shock them.

A bear market is not a betrayal.
A red week is not an injustice.
A missed opportunity is not a personal attack.

It’s just the track conditions.

Your job is to drive accordingly.

Real Life Application

This goes beyond markets.

In business.
In relationships.
In health.
In building anything meaningful.

When stress spikes, most people redline emotionally.

They overcorrect.
They say things they can’t take back.
They abandon long-term plans for short-term relief.

But the calm operator — the one practicing apatheia — doesn’t suppress emotion. He simply refuses to let it steer.

He widens his view.
He breathes.
He chooses deliberately.

And over time, that calm becomes a competitive advantage.

Bear markets end.
Traffic clears.
Storms pass.

The driver who wins isn’t the one who rages hardest, it’s the one whose hands never shake.

That’s apatheia.

Calm hands. Clear inputs.
And a car that finishes the race.

Bahrain Test Guide / How to Watch F1’s 2026 Era Begin

Bahrain is hosting not one but two full pre-season tests for F1’s new 2026 era, and fans actually get to watch a decent chunk of it live.

Key dates and format

  • There are three pre-season events: a private shakedown in Barcelona (already done), then two official tests in Bahrain from 11–13 February and 18–20 February at Sakhir.

  • Each Bahrain test runs over three days, with teams splitting running between their two drivers under the new 2026 regulations.

Where to watch

  • In the US and most international markets, F1 TV Pro is streaming live coverage and session recaps from Bahrain, including timing, onboards, and F1 TV’s own paddock show.

  • In the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports F1 is showing a live 3–4pm (GMT) testing window each day of the first Bahrain test, then returning to full‑day live coverage (morning and afternoon sessions) for the second test from February 18–20.

  • Broadcasters like What Hi-Fi / Sporting News / Radio Times are directing viewers to local partners (DAZN, Canal+, Viaplay, etc.) depending on region, with many offering streaming via apps or web players.

Toyota Built a Game Engine to Power Your Dash, Not Your PS5

Toyota has quietly become a game engine company.

The automaker’s tech arm, Toyota Connected North America, has revealed Fluorite, an open‑source, “console-grade” 3D engine designed not for Xbox or PlayStation, but for the digital cockpits in future Toyota and Lexus models. Built around a C++ Entity Component System core with Google’s Flutter UI framework and the Dart language for both game logic and interface, Fluorite aims to squeeze slick, real‑time 3D dashboards, tutorials, and map visualizations out of low-power embedded hardware that usually struggles with anything beyond a laggy nav screen.

Toyota engineers told the FOSDEM 2026 crowd they evaluated Unity, Unreal, and Godot but rejected them as too heavy, too closed, or too expensive, opting instead to build a lighter open platform specifically tuned for in‑car Linux systems such as Automotive Grade Linux and Yocto.

The kicker: Toyota plans to open‑source Fluorite, meaning the same engine that powers future HUDs, car tutorials, or AR driving aids could also end up in hobbyist projects, retro handhelds, or even full‑blown indie games once the code drops.

Wiami Goes Live / Wilder World’s Open World Enters Super Early Access

Wilder World recently flipped the switch from tech demo to living, breathing game.

Dev Log 17 marks the moment the Miami-inspired city of Wiami becomes a proper open world, with a Super Early Access live service now pulling in up to 2,500 daily players and running real progression, rewards, and live ops.

The big headline is the Open World Preview: a gated test of the Nexus district where players spawn in an apartment, grab a car from the new Garage system, and drive a seamless city packed with AI traffic, 3,500 reactive NPCs, dynamic ad boards, and breach-style missions that pull you into interior combat spaces. Season One’s new on-chain Packs tie it all together—loot boxes of avatar gear, weapons, and vehicle upgrades bought with 150 WILD each, with every token spent permanently burned to create a deflationary loop between playing, collecting, and the in-game economy.

On the systems side, the team has overhauled driving physics, implemented full vehicle damage and shields, added fuel/NOS/repair stations, integrated DLSS for smoother traversal, and rolled out a daily mission system that lets you earn WILD instead of just checking in. Multiplayer shooters get love too, with The Trenches CQB map, tournament infrastructure, heavy bug fixing, and a growing Game Nights program that now runs multiple community events per day supported by new regional servers.

Schumacher ’94 / Netflix Revisits F1’s Most Turbulent Title Fight

Netflix is returning to the Schumacher story with a much narrower, more intense focus.

The streamer has greenlit "Schumacher ’94", a new German‑language documentary zeroing in on Michael Schumacher’s first title-winning F1 season with Benetton in 1994, and it’s slated for a global release on Netflix later in 2026.

Rather than a full life story like the 2021 Schumacher film, this project dives into one of the most turbulent years in Formula 1 history: eight wins, a title decided by one point after that infamous Adelaide clash with Damon Hill, and a season overshadowed by Senna’s death and persistent allegations about Benetton’s legality.

Directed by Christin Freitag and produced by LEONINE Documentaries, the film will feature fresh interviews with Schumacher’s inner circle, including his wife Corinna, offering rare personal insight into how a 25‑year‑old Michael handled the pressure, controversy, and sudden superstardom of 1994.

⭐️ Celebrity Car Collection Showcase / Shaq

Presented by DRVN Labo
By @Ironmaiden1541

Some garages are built around cars. Shaq’s had to be rebuilt around him.

From apocalyptic trucks on skyscraper rubber to low-slung exotics stretched just to make room, every vehicle in his fleet has been re-engineered to fit a 7'1" giant instead of the other way around. It’s part monster, part ultra-luxury, all supersized flex—and every single one carries a custom twist that turns “celebrity car collection” into a full-blown universe.

Tap in to see how one of basketball’s biggest legends literally reshaped his rides to match his persona.
