Watch These Porsches Fight For Position Like Their Lives Depend On It
Watch These Porsches Fight For Position Like Their Lives Depend On It-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:49

Night racing onboards are the best onboards: fact. The sharp contrast between light and dark, the cars constantly moving in and out of light, sometimes illuminated overhead, and other times, using only their headlights to see—it's all wonderful.

So, here's the two leaders in the Porsche GT3 Cup race at Circuit of the Americas two weeks ago. This video is from JDX Racing driver Sloan Urry's car as he battles with Kelly-Moss driver Colin Thompson during the last few laps of the race.

OppositeLock user thedevilinside nominated it for " ," and I must say, it's a solid contender, both for the scenery as well as the cars themselves.

The one time I rode in a GT3 Cup, it was like being in a spaceship. They have a high-pitched mechanical whine inside that's completely different than the GT3 RS street cars. They're a lot lighter, too, so it was like watching a lap in fast forward compared to anything else I'd ridden in. (Have I mentioned that before?)

If you are a Porsche fan and you weren't either in Austin at Circuit of the Americas this weekend…

So, here you go: several über-quick laps inside the JDX Racing car, running hard at COTA.

Turn HD mode on for this one—it's worth it.

Formula One's Nico Rosberg Would Like To Show You His Balls Of Steel
Formula One's Nico Rosberg Would Like To Show You His Balls Of Steel
Silver Arrows? Perhaps Silver Huevos is a better name. Here’s Mercedes’ Nico Rosberg outbraking Williams’ Valtteri Bottas at the chicane during today’s Formula One Japanese Grand Prix. You’re welcome. Rosberg started on pole, but was also receiving a pretty intense shoulder massage right before the start of the race. Perhaps...

Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Taking Out The Pit Entry Cone = Ten Points (And A New Front Wing)
Poor Carlos Sainz Jr. Not only did he whack into the pit entry cone as he pulled into the pits, but he locked up his tires trying to slow down down to pit lane speed in time. This looked like the worst last minute pit call ever, but the upside...

Alexander Rossi Speeds Past F1 Teammate's Smoky Drift On The Wings Of A Bald Eagle
I know that’s not what literally happened here, but it’s been so long since we’ve had an American in Formula One — indulge me, okay? Look at this pass and tell me that the Statue of Liberty herself isn’t weeping as we speak. It’s beautiful. Rossi’s Manor Marussia teammate Will...

What 'C-Word' Did Bubba Wallace Call Brian Scott's Wife?
What 'C-Word' Did Bubba Wallace Call Brian Scott's Wife?
Things got a tad heated — both physically and verbally — between NASCAR Xfinity Series drivers Brian Scott and Darrell Wallace Jr. on Saturday night, as the two didn’t exactly agree on how a late restart went down in the race at Kentucky Speedway. Somehow a “C-word” was involved, but...

McLaren Boss Ron Dennis Says Both Alonso And Button Will Return For 2016
McLaren Formula One team boss Ron Dennis just dropped a bomb on British broadcaster Martin Brundle after the Japanese Grand Prix. When Brundle asked, “Are [Jenson] Button and [Fernando] Alonso in your primary two cars next year?” on the broadcast, Dennis responded “Yes!” It took a little while for Brundle...

How The Hell Did This Happen?
How The Hell Did This Happen?
If there’s one great thing about Porsche’s numerous Carrera Cup series, it’s the close racing that comes from having everyone in the same car. For Joffrey De Narda at today’s Carrera Cup France race, perhaps it was a bit too close, as Jules Gounon’s 911 ramped right onto the roof...
