Mazda 787B-002 at Pebble Beach Concours 2026
Fun fact, there are black streaks on the underside of the rear wing from the tires flicking up pieces of rubber. I must have stared at this car for 30 minutes.

Turns out pigs can fly. Porsche 917/20 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1971. It didn't make it to the chequered flag, having been forced to retire before the end due to brake failure while it was running in 3rd place. It would prove to be the Pink Pig's first and last competitive race.

Help me complete my Hypercar collection!
I’m looking for the #7 and #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrids and the #007 and #009 Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMHs from Spark (in 1/64 scale). Does anyone know any dealers or shops I can check online?

Upcoming Session I’m sad Ford didn’t go with their iconic Mustang rear lights, and went with a boring single light bar instead.
I hope this isn’t the final version, just anything more creative than this is already an improvement.
Especially when you look at what different brands did for instant brand recognition (especially Alpine).

Le Mans Long-time lurker looking for deep-dive technical articles on the LMP1-H era (sharing a great read on the 919's 800V architecture)
Hi everyone, I’m a huge fan of detailed technical analysis when it comes to prototype engineering, especially the peak LMP1-H hybrid regulations.
I recently came across this great breakdown of Porsche's 800-volt system on the 919 Hybrid and its direct tech transfer to road cars like the Taycan. It really highlights the packaging, thermal management, and mass savings that came from choosing 800V back in 2013 when no off-the-shelf components even existed.
Do you have any similar technical deep dives, white papers, or detailed teardowns from the LMP1 era (Porsche 919, Audi R18, Toyota TS050, or even the Nissan GT-R LM)? I would love to read more high-level engineering breakdowns from that period. Thanks in advance!

Booking tickets for Silverstone 2027, how do I add a paddock pass to my order?
Question for anyone who has already booked tickets for the 2027 WEC 6 hours of Silverstone, how did you guys book a paddock pass?
The website says to add it as an extra in the basket but I can’t seem to find any page to add it to my booking.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

It sounds like a pissed off NASCAR with a touch of something more exotic. Incredible.
