Was that supposed to play the race?

Is this the big 24 hours of Lemans that Jaguar won back in the day driving the car to the race and then driving it back home?

Similar - except it's in Daytona, Florida. It's also multi-class racing. It also features a bunch of prototypes.

It's another 24 hour race, and many of the people and cars will be in Le Mans.

There's also a new class of hybrid prototypes. They're amazing. BMW has one, but they suck at racing lately. They're not doing well in any class.

Oh ok, so this is not the famous 24 hours of LeMans, I was thinking they don't run that in January, at least it did not seem right to me, so that makes sense now

Nah, it's one of quite a few 24 hour races - but the only IMSA race that is that long.

There are also a bunch of other long races like this. They're often 1000 miles or 12 hours, that sort of thing.

Nurbergring is another 24 hour race. I'd say that Le Mans is the most famous, for what it's worth.

Also, back in the day, everyone drove their car to Le Mans. Many of 'em didn't have a car to drive home.

The failure rate was insane - like 80+% didn't complete the race.

I can imagine in the days of 60 years ago and before that the 24 straight hours of driving at the limits would wear out the parts and breakdowns were fairly common, and parts were not really mass produced like they are now, most of the stuff they did to build the HP on those motors was home made, I believe

Racing improves the breed.

All that racing tech trickles down to what you have in your car.

Some of us buy cars closer to their racing counterparts. It's kinda fun watching the racing when you can say, "I have one of those!" (Or close enough to one of 'em.)
