Seriously, that guy must be a semi-legend if he's still doing that. Gotta post it.

Meanwhile, in race news...

The Ford GT And Ferrari 488 Teams Were Sandbagging Before Le Mans After All



For the first time in recent history, 24 Hours of Le Mans race organizers have forced several cars to adjust their weight and other specs just ahead of the big event to try and even the playing field. That means the blisteringly quick Ford GT and Ferrari 488 teams weren’t showing their true pace before qualifying began.

Sportscar365 listed the following modifications to the LM GTE Pro-class cars’ Balance of Performance today:

Ford GT: 10 kilogram increase in weight over qualifying spec, reduction in turbo boost pressure
Ferrari 488 GTE: 15 kilogram increase in weight over qualifying spec, 2-liter increase in fuel capacity
Corvette C7.R: 0.2 mm increase in air restrictor size, 2-liter increase in fuel capacity
Aston Martin Vantage GTE: 0.2 mm increase in air restrictor size

In other words, the Ferrari and Ford were made slower, the Corvette and Aston Martin are allowed to run faster, and no changes have been made to the Porsche 911 RSRs in the class.
