In the spirit of Daytona. I may actually play on a track in a Huracan LP 610-4 today.

So I went to this little karting track near me because they were having a swap meet today. Goal was get more direction on buying myself a kart to tinker around in.

I get there and there is two Huracan Evo’s, an R8 and a new corvette running laps.

Apparently you could buy some laps in each of the cars.

Got 4 laps and the picture/video package. It was fun, instructor kept on my ass about how I wasn’t driving to his recommendations. Didn’t get very fast. Super small track and hit 87 on the straight. Thing has incredible power though.

Was a lot of fun and I’d do it again.

I’m most likely going to buy a kart and hit it a few times a week to decompress after work.

This race was an absolute thriller, and seeing Porsche Penske Motorsport take the win made it even more special. The No. 7 Porsche 963 put on a masterclass in endurance racing, finally bringing Porsche back to victory lane after 14 years. Daytona International Speedway itself is an experience like no other whether you are catching the action from the grandstands, exploring the fan zone, or soaking it all in from the infield. Here is a great guide on the best fan features to check out for anyone planning a trip to this iconic racetrack.
