I love the 24 at Daytona.

It’s at that link for the next hour, and then somewhere else in the wilds of the intertubes….

But if you’re looking to kick off the 2012 racing season with 24 hours of sports cars (Ferraris, Aston Martins, BMWs, Audis, Camaros, Mustangs, Porsches, Mazdas, other Fords & Vipers) racing on the banking at Daytona, this is the way to do it. Crack a beer & kick back!

There’s something like 50 cars out there (fewer now that we’re a couple of hours in) on a comparatively small track so even now, three and a half hours in, everyone is all bunched up and likely to stay that way until late tonight. There’s always Porsche 911’s dodging speeding prototypes, which keeps it exciting for everyone.

More, from Jim Culp.

First, a 4WD RX-7 at the 1985 Nor’wester Rally, Capitol Forest, near Olympia, Washington, USA driven by Rod Millen and John Bellefleur.

Second, Derek Bell and Ronnie Peterson, Ferrari 512S overtaking Jean Sage and Pierre Greub, Porsche 911S at Mulsanne.

Oh man, a brown velour interior would have been intense. And I don’t doubt that that color was available here too, but there don’t seem to be many RX-7s around here in the Northeastern US anymore. My gut tells me they all rusted away.

I’m borrowing this from Mr. Kraal’s twitter. I hope he doesn’t mind; it’s a lovely photo.

It almost looks like a woody RX-7, which would be both ridiculous and awesome.
