I watched somee of it yesterday and a little very early this morning. I see that Ferrari took first and second overall in the Hypercar Class with Cadillac coming in third. Cadillac was in first for quite a while but not sure what happened with them to fall back. Cool race to watch as man pushes their machine to the limits of its performance for that long without breaking. Not sure what the cash prize is for each of the winning drivers. I do know they get a nice Rolex watch though.

I misspoke about 3rd place it was Toyota not Cadillac who took this spot. As far as prizes each of the winning drivers gets 40K Euro and this Rolex watch (Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona). Those look too be between $15-75K depending on which one they get.

I wish I still had those posters that Gulf gave away. Steve McQueen was the man. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/06/full-1698-423049-e5005ac15b679f1516117e56eda5edc6_copy.jpg)

24 hour of Lemans, Dakar, and Isle of Man are 3 races I like to watch. And then there is the Rally series which never gets old.

I used to watch anything with wheels and an engine. I'm down to just the Trans Am series and Aussie Super Car series now.
I did watch a bit of the 24hrs this weekend, and just couldn't get into it. Looks more like an engineering contest anymore, like F1

This...looks...awesome! 'Had no idea it existed. I hope the Houston race is in the winter, since you gotta wear a fire suit.
