This weekend IMSA kicks off the 2018 racing season with the Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Today the Continental Tire Series cars have a 4 hour event, and tomorrow the Weathertech Series kicks off the 24 hour race with the DPi, LMP2, GTLM, GTD cars all on the track at the same time.
2 time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso is co driving an LMP2 car this year.
The Ford GT's are back to defend their last year's win of the GTLM class.
I know not a lot of you get into cars nor racing in general, but maybe you may find you like it now since some of you have started driving for yourselves.
Any Forza players should watch at least some of this to familiarize themselves with the cars, teams, and the track, just to see how big this place is, and the history of the cars and the sport. So many iconic drivers and cars have raced here. It's where the '60's era Shelby Daytona Coupe was named for.
I look forward to this as well as Daytona Speed Weeks in a couple weeks for NASCAR getting the racing season going. Motorsports is the only professional sport I watch or have any interest in.

Modifié par Cobravert : 1/30/2018 8:35:36 PMThe Ford GTs dominated this year. Finished 1 & 2, a full lap ahead of the C7 Vetted, 2nd Daytona 24 hours win in a row. DP was won by Cadillac, who had to run the car at a lower speeds because of over heating issues, but had such a commanding lead, they were able to maintain position. Lamborghini won it's first 24 race for the GTD category.
