DFD

24hrs of Daytona starts today. New prototype cars , mid-engine Porches ,

IMSA racing should be this year.

MINI got it's first win yesterday in CTSCC!

I thought this was an NJMP up thread

Do they still race Australian V8 Supercar sedans? Bathurst races were always totally insane and a ton of fun to watch.

They do over in Aussie-land. That is one of the best series to watch.

It's the best kind of racing.

I've been to the Rolex three times.

It's fucking epic. My favorite memory is sitting up in the very top row of the main grandstand at 345am at the start finish straight, just watching all the cars go around and around.

It's so cheap. My plans fell apart for 2016, but I'd planned to do it. $200 return flight, $130/night for a hotel room and a cheap rental car. Rolex ticket is $50 for a Sat/Sun infield/all access pass. Fly down Friday night, fly home around 8pm on Sunday from Orlando.

I'd consider going if I knew enough other people going. Daytona is only like 10 hrs from here. I don't really give a damn about watching racing but hanging out with racers is fun.

. talking shit in person is lots of fun.

DFD meatup should rent an RV that we can park in the infield and all weekend.

Even if you go with just one other person, it's a big party in the infield and you'll find plenty to do and people to hang with.

Yaaassss, got the Fox Sports Go app running on the Xbone. Don't have to watch on my laptop!

I wish Daytona was part of the WEC series

I heard some shady shit went on in the last few laps. Didn't see anything on jalopnik about it. Someone wrecked someone and then won?

In the prototype class with a couple minutes to go, second place car made an agressive move on the brakes going into turn 1 and got a fender on the inside. 1st place car came down on him and spun out.

It was aggressive, but not dirty IMO, especially when considering the time left in the race. The 1st place car left the door open for the 2nd place car to take the chance.
