Maybe it’s because I just read Go Like Hell—which is loaded with descriptions of terrible accidents that killed spectators—but I was on edge while watching this video. Even though the guy filming is behind a barrier, it hardly seems like a safe place to be standing, and the flying wheel  gets a little too close […] More »

Take Fernando Pena out of the picture, and the average of the top few competitors—Madison Snow, Bryce Miller, Shawn Johnston—in the Porsche IMSA GT3 Cup Challenge  is 21. Young guns indeed.

Apparently it took almost 180 people 23 hours to get the 48 weapons-grade GT3 Cup cars into proper formation. I can’t get over how the finished product mirrors Porsche’s font.

This is a great recap of this year’s season opener at Sebring, and an awesome introduction if you’re not familiar with the Porsche IMSA GT3 Cup. It’s the largest single-make series in the States, and it’s kind of like the American Le Mans Series’ farm league, allowing drivers a chance to sharpen their skills before jumping to the big show.
