Pick of the week

During this 2021 racing season, we are saying our goodbyes to the little team that could, Mazda. After many years of IMSA racing with both production-based and prototype cars, Mazda is ending their racing program at the finish line of this season. This photo is from the IMSA 6 Hour race at Watkins Glen in 2014. The diesel powered car used bio-fuel, which was derived from used cooking oil. Following drivers related how the car had the distinct exhaust smell of french fries. If you can’t beat ’em, distract them with the smell of lunch!
