Icon10 Racing at Daytona this weekend, this vid helps people understand...

I love Daytona, racing, and Rolex, all go together for me. Will be there this weekend for SCCA event

since all the Deep Blue C movie stuff coming out helps understanding what that watch is about, this vid gives some Daytona background

my GT-3 factory Porsche race car…






of course nothing more special than racing at Daytona with the Daytona on!! Just like James Cameron!!

Cool video tom! Thanks for sharing it. How many sets of tires does a car use for this?

Good luck Tom!! Weather looks 50/50 but will be hoping the forecast changes for the good. Who's on your team and do you know of a live webcast if we want to watch you race?

I really love your race car. Beautiful machine.

I recently went to see the NHRA Nationals at Sonoma Raceway a few weeks ago, and although it was top fuel dragsters and originally not my cup of tea, it was incredibly intense to the senses and absolutely intoxicating. Definitely going next year. Cannot even express how visceral top fuel is in person.

Also hoping to catch to the GoPro GT this month and maybe some races at Laguna Seca.

My son loves it... would love to take him to Le Mans one day... Or an F1 race.

You have it in your blood. Be safe and keeping winning.

Le Mans is a great circuit but check Francorchamps in Belgium

Nice as well

Very cool. I have always had a big racing passion. I don't know what i going to do for the remaining two weeks of Formula 1 being out.

Keep it clean, hold your line and remember, smooth is fast.

Be safe out there.
