Just hope the they donβ€˜t raise the price and that the 15% discount-code we got for the issues at the start in Qatar last year still works

Really impressive IMSA-debut for Team WRT, wasnβ€˜t expecting a podium for their first race in IMSA with the new evo-kit aswell

2 out of 4, I will take it!

It’s a cool livery but I always thought it’s a bit overhyped.
Guess it’s easy for (new) fans to spot so it gets a lot of fans

Wait wait wait the fog is clearing, we could go green pretty soon! #daytona24

Just woke up after sleep and seemingly nothing has happened in the meantime? How long has this fog-caution been out already? #daytona24

LMP2 continues to be the new LMP3 in IMSA…

Two Yellows in the first 15 minutes, IMSA is well and truly back

Itβ€˜s finally time for IMSA to race on the high banks of Daytona, so here are my predictions (if it is even possible to predict this race):

GTP: #93 MSR Acura
LMP2: #11 TDS Racing
GTD PRO: #1 Paul Miller BMW
GTD: #57 Winward Mercedes

Alright, time for probably the most unimportant qualifying-session of the sportscar-calendar, but there are still championship points on offer, so here are my picks (complete guessing except P2):

GTP: Porsche #6
LMP2: #99
GTD PRO: Lambo #9
GTD: Aston #19

Surely one of the best Hypercar/GTP livery’s πŸ•ŠοΈ

When I watched the 6h Abu Dhabi race last weekend, I was surprised that there is a racing series that uses a refuelling-area with 10 slots while having 60 cars on track, makes it way too RNG in my opinion

Nooo, it was one of the best 😞

this car can only end up as a positive surprise, as my expectations are pretty low

No Wickens 😞 maybe he will just do the sprint rounds again…

I think your audience just grew to two!
As I love motorsport and statistics, I also tracked the races Iβ€˜ve watched in 2025. I just counted the races, but your blog has given me some inspiration on how to do even more with the data 😁

Consistently good BOP in the WEC and IMSA πŸ™

This got me thinking, what are the best races (across all motorsport-disciplines) I watched this year? Here they are, not in order:

MotoGP French GP
F1 British GP
WEC 6h Spa
WEC 6h Fuji
DTM Sachsenring Race 1
DTM Hockenheim Race 2

What are your picks?

I fear that without the AM-drivers we would have way less cars in LMGT3 because they bring the required money to fund the globe-trotting tour that is the WEC

Great looking grid, but how we went from initially 19, to 18 and now 17 cars in Hypercar despite the β€šgolden eraβ€˜ has to be studied.

(I know it should grow again in 2027 but still)

Yes he could, but Emil-Frey-Racing are competing in DTM on Sunday, so they wonβ€˜t be at the Nurburgring.
That means his GT3 debut could come at the next NLS round (27. September)

The german article from β€šmotorsport-totalβ€˜ stated that they will drop the WEC Programm, but keep the IMSA one, as Penske might have some contracts to fulfill in America…
