Watched some qualifying coverage yesterday. That new Porsche 963 GTP has jumped right up the list as one of my favorite race cars.

That's awesome David! Our Risi Competizione team is there too. Hopefully all the 296's do well, but none of the teams had much time to work with the car.

As a blast from the past, attended the 2008 Daytona 24/7 and had all access. Just this morning was catching up on the Formula Regional Middle East Championship races and there was, yup, Sebastián 'Sebas' Montoya.

Here he is with dad @ Daytona in 2008 just before the race began. And yes, Juan's car/team won the Rolex 24 Hours @ Daytona in 2008

An Aussie from Melbourne made it P1

That was an amazing finish. I still have no clue how he made up all that ground at the end like that.

That was insane! He barely got on the brakes in the LeMans chicane from what I saw! I said it out loud to the tv when I was watching haha. That combined with the draft from that backmarker really set him up.

The most packed I’ve ever seen this event. I was stuck for 30 minutes in the garages because of all the people waiting for the gates to open for the grid walk.
