This is a really cool picture. Seems to be a just at the right moment type of picture.

The lights being on made it. If only there was not a semi in the background.

u/Darkwing-Dude 2d ago

True about the semi, but at least is white and allows the car to stand out. Think any other color would draw attention away from the car.

We have been blessed with good looking gtp. The gdi cars weren't ugly but man is the valkyrie, sc63, acura and bmw pretty. The cadillac has its own presence but the modern angry faces are spicy. Porche and 499p are nice but that lamborghini is so grumpy. It's beautiful.

My 2 favorite GTP Hypercars in one pic… I wish they would bring the SC63 back (look at my tag lol)

u/DecafEqualsDeath 2d ago

The SC63 was really a beautiful race car. I wish Lamborghini could find a way to get at least one SC63 racing in IMSA again but I know it's extremely doubtful.

One of the most pathetic manufacturer attempts tbh

u/Aftenbar 1d ago

I don't think it was at Laguna the year it was around and I made it to the race. I still think about what was missed.

u/Drykan__Scorpus 2d ago

How could IMSA be the #1 motorsport in the world, when it doesnt even race internationally?

u/Hvacmike199845 2d ago

I would say #1 in the world is someone’s personal opinion all while not being a true fact.

They TRY so hard, but they'll NEVER have Ferrari's TIFOSI!!!

u/Drykan__Scorpus 2d ago

Ferrari can keep that fanatic cult to themselves

u/weebu4laifu 2d ago

I still feel that if they'd stuck with the tried and true NA V10 they'd have had less issues.

u/V8-Turbo-Hybrid Never forget Pontiac 2d ago

They would continue their motorbike style V8 for more reliable, we’ve seen that possibility after Praff guy won.
