Some Karen on facebook is complaining about how inappropriate the gesture was. Funny, I can't think of a MORE appropriate gesture...

It just speaks volume more than you can see.

Obviously, he’s not the first to flip a racing bird, but doing it while going flat out at Daytona is simply epic.

^^^ and I think he's coming out of the bus stop and onto the banking right there. A wider view shows the perp in the BMW heading to the pits ....

For those who missed it, this was the main violation. Farfus was several laps down and brake-checked Milner to allow his BMW teammate to go around the outside into the lead.

IMSA has stated that the car was found to have exceeded the maximum allowable wear to the regulated area of the skid block on the underside of the car, which is set at 5 mm by FIA technical regulations.

^^^ Ouch. Have the watches been confiscated yet?

Explanation of the BMW-Corvette dust up. I knew Farfus was down several laps, but didn't realize he was 47 laps down when he was blocking the leader!

Ford in with 2-car factory run WEC/Le Mans Hypercar program. IMSA GTP announcement to follow.

If you can't get enough sports car endurance racing, the annual GT race up and down Mt. Panorama is today, Bathurst 12 hours. Porsche has had excellent results here. I am a bit disappointed in just 22 total entries. YT live link below, starts 1:30pm EST

Mount Panorama always delivers. And Shea Adam is on the broadcast crew.

TommyMilner He's donating the proceeds as well, so he's not trying to profit off of this (got mine ordered ).

Wild crash at the top of the mountain at Bathurst. Close to sailing over the wall and it looked like a drop-off from there.

On a side note, damn that looks like it would be a fun track to drive!

3-day IMSA test started at Sebring today. GTs today, full-field tomorrow, prototypes only Thursday. The Valkyrie is here and I'm curious to hear (and see) it. Normally-aspirated V12 goodness with no bothersome hybrid to dilute the experience
