I didn't post the pic of the Audi prototype that's going around the track. Jones might get a Priapism.

I know it may not be the most efficient shape considering today's aerodynamic technologies.... But the prototypes of that era just look right. I wish they still looked like this.

Never seen one of these in person, but one of my all time favorite cars. Heading up to Mid Ohio tomorrow

What year(s) was this active?

The 917 is one of the most iconic sports racing cars of all time, largely for its high speeds and high power outputs, and was made into a movie star by Steve McQueen in his 1971 film Le Mans.

 

That's how I was introduced to it, I was born in 75. My first time seeing one in person was yesterday. The car is amazing.

Well I guess the guy we talked to yesterday was wrong, this car will not be on the track. So disappointed. Cool to get to see one though.

[BrendanB]

That car is downright SEXY in person, I overheard someone saying it's valued at $15 million, but I find that hard to believe

[SpaceGhost]

I bet it is, not many left.

 

My favorite going around the track:

Guy that owned this little BMW let my kids sit in it, they had a blast today, Khalil and Gabrielle are veteran race car fans, both have multiple trips to the track. This was Andrew's rookie race, and I think he loved it, made it all day with a slight break for a nap, slept right through the loud cars.

I'm a proud dad. We had a blast, saw some über cool cars, and I go back one more day.

That Gulf GT40 was amazing to see and hear going around the track; black one was pretty cool too!

[SpaceGhost]

Yes it was, but man I love the Gulf colors.

Yes it was, but man I love the Gulf colors.

 

Saw at least 5 cars in the Gulf colors IIRC, 2 911's, a 912, GT40, and a 968. LOL, best livery imo
