Don't Mess With A 911 RSR When It's Hunting
Don't Mess With A 911 RSR When It's Hunting-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:06

A vintage Porsche 911 RSR is a beautiful thing, but when it has the red mist in its eyes it can be vicious. Have you ever tried to get all up in your dog’s business when there’s food involved? That’s the kind of growl you can expect from a 911 RSR on the hunt for another target on the high banks of Daytona, its preferred feeding grounds, at night. It’s best to just leave well enough alone, else you might get your nose chopped off like this yellow 911 has in the video below.

This week marks the famous HSR Classic 24 Hour at Daytona International Speedway, which is always a great time to get out and see the great racing machines of days gone by. Is there a chance that you’ll see a 911 RSR devour another, weaker 911 RSR? My Magic 8 Ball says .

This onboard video is pretty great in that the first lap shows a trio of delightfully sonorous Porsches vying for the same position at the front of the pack. It also shows the heartbreak of motorsport, as a missed shift can have serious repercussions. I won’t spoil the fun any more than that, you’ll just have to watch this intense and incredible sub-4 minutes of racing.

Honestly, someone could get an hour of vintage racing in-car audio and run it as a podcast. I’d just play that as background noise in my office all day. Just listen to those flat six engines scream! Goodness that gives me the goosepimples!

This year, the Bahrain Grand Prix took place on Sunday, April 8. Three days later, every single team and all of their equipment was in Shanghai in preparation for the Chinese Grand Prix.

Formula E Men Fined $6,000 for Wearing Wrong Underwear
Most jobs don’t designate the kind of underwear people have to wear, and those who work from home technically don’t have to wear any. (That’s probably true in offices, too, actually. Who’s going to know?) But two drivers are $6,000 poorer for wearing the wrong underwear to work . Right...

This Airborne Pro Mazda Crash Is Almost Surreal
No matter what the wreck-filled commercials and the popular, continually recycled historic footage might lead you to believe, most racing aren’t reminiscent of cars flying off of a poorly built ramp. This one was. Harrison Scott races the on the development ladder, but he didn’t get to race much in...
