One of those Spa frames we keep coming back to. A good day to bring it back, too!
Happy birthday, Dennis Marschall. 🍰

Every circuit has its own silhouette. One month from now, the FIA World Endurance Championship returns to Circuit of The Americas. Until then, one photograph is enough to remember why this round always feels a little different.
Home soil. A Texas sky. The American icon.
Some places leave an impression long before the racing begins. 💙🐎

Not every fan falls in love with motorsport because of statistics.
Sometimes it starts with a green dinosaur. 🦖
Rexy has become something much bigger than a Porsche 911 GT3 R competing in IMSA. It has become one of those rare race cars that people connect with long before they know where it finished.
Children spot it instantly.
Fans arrive at the circuit wearing dinosaur costumes.
The merchandise disappears almost as quickly as it’s released.
In a paddock built around engineering, strategy and precision, AO Racing reminded everyone that motorsport is allowed to have personality too.
Perhaps that’s why Rexy works so well.
It never tried to become an icon. It simply became one.

Motorsport is built on constant evolution.
Every season brings new technology, new regulations and new ideas. Teams spend millions searching for the next tenth of a second.
Yet every so often, they choose to look backwards. This weekend at Road America, Porsche Penske Motorsport will race with liveries inspired by two defining chapters of its history, celebrating 75 years of Porsche Motorsport and 60 years of Team Penske.
Car #6 pays tribute to the legendary Porsche 917/30 of 1973, while Car #7 revives the colours of the Porsche RS Spyder that raced at Road America in the 2000s.
Because some liveries become more than design. They become memories. They remind us that every generation of racing builds on the one before it.
In motorsport, the future is always chasing the past. 💙💛❤️
Progress rarely arrives with an announcement. It arrives one lap, one test and one difficult weekend at a time.
BMW M Team WRT spent months building a Hypercar programme capable of winning.
At Interlagos, the result finally caught up with the work.
The victory belonged to one Sunday.
The progress belonged to every day before it.

Some victories are built quietly. Away from the headlines.
Racing Team Turkey by TF didn’t dominate every session or every lap. They simply kept themselves in contention.
In endurance racing, that’s often the difference. Staying close enough for opportunity to find you.
At Interlagos, it finally did.

Pole position.
A front-row lockout.
Early control of the race.
Everything pointed towards a perfect Sunday.
Then endurance racing reminded everyone why nothing is guaranteed.
Tiny moments.
Small mistakes.
Changing fortunes.
Sometimes victory isn’t lost through lack of speed.
It’s lost because endurance racing rarely allows perfection.

Every circuit has its own palette. At Interlagos, Brazil painted it. 🟢🟡🔵
The kerbs. The light. The skyline.

Some circuits are defined by their layout. Others are defined by the people who race there. Interlagos has always been both.
From local heroes to world champions, every return adds another chapter to one of endurance racing’s most iconic venues.
Over the coming days, we’ll explore some of the stories that emerged from last weekend’s FIA World Endurance Championship round at Interlagos.
But every story begins in the same place.
Interlagos.

From last on the grid to overall winners.
The starting grid often shapes expectations. At Spa, it rarely decides the outcome.
Lionspeed GP began the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa from the very back of the field.
With every car ahead, there were no shortcuts - only twenty-four hours of opportunities waiting to be earned.
One position became ten. Ten became twenty. Lap after lap. Stint after stint.
The team kept moving forward. By Sunday afternoon, the impossible had quietly become reality.
From last on the grid to overall winners.
Because endurance racing rarely belongs to the team that starts in front.
It belongs to the one that’s still moving forward when it matters most.
Congratulations to everyone at Lionspeed GP. 🤍

Perfect timing doesn’t happen by accident. It takes choreography. Trust. And a team where everyone knows exactly what comes next.

A debut worth remembering. There are no easy introductions at Spa. Every team arrives knowing the CrowdStrike 24 Hours will test preparation, resilience and execution like few other races can.
For PCX Racing, making their debut alongside GetSpeed was already a milestone.
Leaving with a Pro-Am podium made it unforgettable.
Sometimes the most rewarding stories aren’t found at the top of the overall standings.
They’re found in teams who arrive with ambition, embrace one of motorsport’s greatest challenges, and leave having exceeded expectations.

The longest night of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa came before the race had even begun.
A technical issue after qualifying left the #79 Tsunami RT Porsche in the garage while the team worked through the night to get the car back on track.
No testing beforehand.
No easy preparation.
No perfect start.
Just a team refusing to give up before the green flag had even fallen.
Twenty-four hours later, they crossed the line with a class trophy and a story that had started long before the race itself.
Because endurance isn’t only measured over 24 hours.
Sometimes, it begins the night before.
Congrats team! 🫶🏼 And thank you for the tasty espresso!

For much of the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa, the #51 AF Corse Ferrari looked like the car everyone had to beat.
Pole position.
The race lead.
The pace to dictate the biggest GT3 race in the world.
Then, as endurance racing so often reminds us, nothing is ever guaranteed.
A tyre failure.
Damage.
Setbacks that slowly rewrote the story.
Victory slipped away.
The determination never did.
Because sometimes the most compelling performances aren’t measured by where they finish, but by the fight to keep going.

Some corners become famous. Others become part of motorsport’s language.
La Source is one of them.
Today, it belongs to Porsche.

Some races are remembered for who won.
Spa is remembered for everything it asks of those who race it.
The heat.
The circuit.
The traffic.
The rhythm.
The focus.
Because the biggest GT3 race in the world is never defined by a single moment.
A huge thank you to Pedro Dermaux for documenting this year’s race with such incredible sensitivity and precision. Every image in this carousel is his work, and they tell the story better than words ever could.
As always, it was a privilege to build this piece using your photography. 🙏🏽
