The ninth running of the HSR Classic 24 at Daytona presented by IMSA recently concluded and it was everything I expected it would be – a gathering of great cars and good friends to celebrate motorsports.
The unique format, which featured 6 different race groups running 4 race sessions each, formed the basis for the name “Classic 24”. Obviously, most of these priceless machines are no longer meant to run 24 straight hours in anger, hence the sensible HSR Classic 24 format. However, that’s not to say drivers were just tooling around – these races were flat out, with cars and drivers pushing to the limit, and sometimes beyond.

[Robert Madara photo]John Higgins and the Porsche Fabcar. [Robert Madara photo]Porsche Fabcar crosses the finish line. [Robert Madara photo]Classic 24 veteran Gérard Lopez and Classic 24 rookie Marcel Fassler (he of Audi Sport and Corvette Racing fame) won both Group A and Group F with Iconic Racing as the first Classic 24 overall double group race winners since the inaugural event in 2014 – a fine job by both of them. Marcel told me that he really enjoys doing vintage racing because of the comradery of the drivers and the relaxed atmosphere at the track. Plus, he loves getting to see and drive some of these classic racing machines.
Other drivers of note who participated in the Classic 24 were old friends Andy Wallace and Butch Leitzinger and it was good to touch base with these legendary drivers, who we all remember from their days driving in the American Le Mans series for Rob Dyson (among other teams).
Also on hand was the President of Ford Motor Company, Jim Farley, a true motorsports enthusiast, who co-drove Jim’s 1965 Ford GT40 Mk1 with none other than Adrian Newey of Red Bull Formula One fame. Newey certainly enjoyed his trip to Daytona, a brief respite from the high-pressure world of Formula One, for some old-fashioned sports car racing. He told me that the schedule for Formula One has become overwhelming and that he was glad to make the trip to Daytona for some much-needed down time – and to get back to racing’s roots. He and Jim Farley are true motorsport Renaissance men, who represent the spirit of the Classic 24 at Daytona.
Also of note, John Higgins was on hand, driving the original chassis #001 Porsche Fabcar, which finished second in class at the 1987 Sun Bank Daytona 24 Hours and then went on to win the Camel Lights class at the Sebring 12 Hours the same year. Now in the White Allen Motorsports collection and superbly prepared by Dale Oakes and his crew at Euro Classics in Dayton, Ohio, the Fabcar ran perfectly and John (driving solo), finished first in class and 2nd overall in the Group C race. It was an excellent conclusion to an storied driving career, as before the race John announced that he would be retiring from competition after this race. Reached in Victory Lane right after his podium finish, however, John admitted that his statement about giving up driving might be a little premature. The car is still strong and the competitive fire still burns in his veins.
Such is the lesson of the Classic 24 at Daytona – keeping history alive and the competitive juices flowing. That’s what it is all about.
In anyone’s book, it was a Classic event.

I’m just back from my annual trek to Southern California for the Long Beach Grand Prix weekend. As usual, it was a whirlwind week with almost too much to see and do but I did my best to fit as much in as I possibly could.
For me, the race week started with my flight from Orlando to LA, arriving in time to attend the Road Racing Drivers Club dinner. This year the event honored Jacky Ickx and it was great to see old sports car racing (and Formula One) teammates Mario Andretti and Jacky Ickx together once again in front of the sellout crowd at the Long Beach Hilton. Also on hand was Derek Bell, who was Ickx’s co-driver on three of his six Le Mans wins. Ickx was obviously very pleased with the entire evening. Ickx: “First of all, I am touched, very touched. It is very emotional. But it’s even more emotional when you think that this honor is also honoring the people that make racing possible. They are part of it. Not only those who get the light on top of them.”

[Eddie LePine photo]Nick Tandy and Mathieu Jaminet practicing driver change. [Eddie LePine photo]Derek Bell, Jacky Ickx, Mario Andretti, Bobby Rahal. [Eddie LePine photo]There is a reason this race event is called ‘America’s Monaco’ and that is because it has a feel like no other race that I go to. Combine an excellent IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship race, the IMSA Porsche Deluxe Carrera Cup race, Stadium Super Trucks, Historic Formula One cars and finally the NTT IndyCars in the Acura Grand Prix on Sunday and you have a very full event indeed. There is just a special feel about being in Long Beach during race week.
It was great to see the Historic Formula One cars on the track at Long Beach, as they have such a storied history at this circuit, as they raced there from 1976 through 1983. The last driver to win a Formula One race at Long Beach was John Watson in 1983 while the first driver to win an IndyCar race at Long Beach was Mario Andretti in 1984. Seems fitting that Mario was on hand at Long Beach to watch one of his old JPS Lotus rides run in the F1 race. The historic F1 race was won by former Porsche factory driver Patrick Long, driving a Williams FW 08C.
In the IMSA WeatherTech race I got to see history being made as the Porsche Penske 963 won its first race. Mathieu Jaminet and Nick Tandy took a fine win with BMW taking second and the second Penske entry finished third. Once again, it was a terrible finish for the Wayne Taylor Racing (with Andretti Autosport) Acura, with Ricky Taylor crashing out with two laps to go while trying to put a pass on Jaminet in the Porsche. Jaminet’s Porsche ran the entire 100-minute race on just one set of Michelin tires and those fading tires were the reason Taylor thought he could make the pass for the lead and the win. Perhaps things would have turned out a bit differently if he had only waited for another corner or two to make his attempt. We will never know. Amazingly, the race only featured two yellow flags – one on lap one for Sebastien Bourdais’ spin at the start and the one at the finish due to Taylor’s crash.
Jaminet after the race: “The team did an amazing job. They put us in this position. We didn’t take tires and we overcut the 10. And we could pass the BMW which was on his out lap and leading the race. It was big pressure at the end because I wanted new tires but I was pretty much playing with minds. I saw the 10 sending it into one, and I thought, shoot that’s late! That looks late! I’m just super happy.” About that late race pass attempt by Taylor: “It was really a late launch from him. Luckily, I saw him. I was like, there is no way he’s making this stick and that’s exactly what happened. Luckily, we got through. Again, thanks for the team they did a great job. It’s been a long year and a half developing this car and putting the team together. Finally, the rewards are coming. Great day for us.”
Suffice to say, that after losing the Rolex 24 by 4 seconds, crashing out at Sebring and now crashing out at Long Beach, the WTR squad will be looking to regroup to get back into the championship hunt.
In the NTT IndyCar race, it was a very successful day for Michael Andretti’s team, as Kyle Kirkwood took his first win, followed closely by teammate Romain Grosjean. Marcus Ericsson finished third for Chip Ganassi Racing with Colton Herta in another Andretti entry finishing fourth.
Another Long Beach race week is now in the history books. I am already looking forward to coming back next year.
Until then, see you at the races.

This year was the 28th edition of the Amelia Island Concours D’Elegance at the Ritz Carlton Golf Club, the event is now simply referred to as “The Amelia” since the changing of the guard a couple of years ago, when Concours founder Bill Warner turned the event over to the capable hands of Hagerty.
Jeff Gordon’s ride [Eddie LePine photo]Porsche legends Hurley Haywood and Alwin Springer [Eddie LePine photo]Porsche 908 [Eddie LePine photo]Historic Corvette. [Eddie LePine photo]Hagerty has certainly put their mark on the event, and Bill Warner handing it over to them was a very wise move, as it looks as though “The Amelia” will continue to go from strength to strength.
This year’s edition honored NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, who was on hand for the festivities along with a nice selection of his cars. The crowd was massive this year, larger than I recall ever seeing at this event in the past, and I have been coming here for over 20 years. Around 25,000 people attended, a virtual sell out and they enjoyed wonderful Florida weather and the beautiful cars and people that are drawn to this event annually.
The event raised nearly $150,000 for charity this year, continuing the tradition which founder Bill Warner established at the very first Concours. During Bill Warner’s stewardship of the event, over four million dollars were raised for charity.
Auctions have become a huge part of “The Amelia” and this year was no exception, with RM Southeby’s, Gooding & Company and Bonhams combining for over $178,000,000 is sales. Wow. The collector car business is very healthy.
“The Amelia” continues to be a ‘must attend’ event for automotive enthusiasts every March. I know I look forward to it every year, and can’t wait for next year’s edition.
Until then, I’ll be seeing you on the road.
