The Hankook 24 Hours of COTA starts today. AMG has the top 3 grid positions for GT3 and pole for GT4. Should be a good race. There is a live stream here:


It is not a straight 24 hour race but divided in two segments. @Kenadian, wouldn't you love to do 24 Hours of COTA :p

I read this and a few other articles and it appears amicable, just Blancpain not renewing the partnership.

Apparently they've not ruled out future partnerships but whom that can be and when is anyone's best guess at this point.

A pretty interesting video on what it costs to race IRL:


Great Technics collection in the background too :)

Great field of 51 cars for the BMW Endurance Challenge today. Hopefully they do something so the entries increase for the 24 next year. Car count has decreased every year for the last couple.

Watched this live today on WRC+ and almost shit myself when it happened. Ott Tanak likes to run his ride height pretty low. Today it bit him.
Driver and co-driver were unharmed in the accident.

Oh man that WRC accident... amazing how they can have these accidents and walk away unharmed. I'd imagine a change of underwear would be necessary though

Wow. That's incredible. I think even ten years ago that might be both driver and co-driver dead. The engineering for safety that's put in to these cars is amazing.

I made a "Daytona 24 Watch Party" channel on TS if anyone is watching it. If you want to chat on Discord instead just let me know.
