I’m going to the Roar on Friday. I won’t be working the Rolex.

Starting Rolex 24 journey Wednesday afternoon race week. I'm driving down from Atlanta, stopping in Jax to help our veteran group load up and get RV, well-rehearsed process.

"Gold Spike"

Hoping that Penske shows up with new liveries on the 963s. Nothing really wrong with the existing, but a change would be nice and no worries anymore about keeping things consistent with the WEC team since that is long gone.

PLEASE change the liveries, Rodger. The cars have looked that same year after year.

I'm going down for the Roar on Friday and Saturday. And back on Thursday thru Sunday for the main event.

Penske have been promoting their 60th Anniversary pretty heavily so maybe they'll do a special livery for that.

"The 60th anniversary will be recognized throughout the year with a series of special programs, initiatives and storytelling designed to engage fans, partners and the motorsports community. The team will introduce a refreshed anniversary identity that will appear across its race cars, uniforms, digital platforms and merchandise."

But you've got to wonder what the current relationship between Roger and Porsche is right now after they kicked his Le Mans dream to the curb Is it still a full factory funded effort or will there be a sponsor on the car? I'm guessing this is the last season in IMSA for Penske with Porsche because of that. Does Roger jump to a manufacturer who is qualified to enter Le Mans in 27?

Toyota going back to their late 90s GT-One livery ....

We can meet on Friday if you like. I plan on being there for the morning and maybe a little afternoon.

Too bad Chip stole Sunoco, Sunoco 963's would have the schitz.

True, that could have been gorgeous.

Same thought here! The other good ones would be the 72 L&M 917/10 or the Marlboro CART cars but those aren't going to happen. The very first 'Penske Racing' car debuted at Daytona in 1966 but this would also be unlikely.
