CHAMPIONSHIP WIN 🏆🏆🏆
Huge congratulations to
@Acura
and the
@MeyerShankRac
team, we fought so hard for this all year 💪🏻
Unfortunately a break issue in FP5 resulted in damage to the car & meant we didn’t make quali. The team are currently flat out and the car will be ready for the race tomorrow. Not been a great week so far so hopefully we can turn it around tomorrow when it counts
#Bathurst12hr
If true....I understand the benefit for commercial reasons for WEC, Toyota & Fuji BUT what about all the drivers who have already done deals based on the current Calender & who have been a loyal part of the championship for many years?
Today we unofficially broke the Daytona lap record but what's really impressive is how long it has stood and how fast these cars were back in 1993.
#Daytona24
As a spectator I'm like let's restart it that was awesome!!! As a driver I would be like there's no way this should ever be restarted!!!

We did it!!!! First win for
@MazdaTeamJoest
@MazdaRacing
. Amazing effort from the whole team!!! A perfect weekend & hopefully the 1st of many more. Congrats to our sister car on the win 🏆
Awesome weekend, but what made it even better was getting back just in time to pick up my little one from her first day at school.
Do you like my backpack?
Surely who ever made the decision to put a sausage curb on the outside of a fast corner like the Parabolica has never driven a race car before?! Time to go back to grass & gravel. This was always an accident waiting to happen.
Sad news as
@mazdamotorsports
have announced that this will be their last season in prototype racing. I want to thank everyone involved, I have so many amazing memories over the last 3 years. It is now time to focus on this year and end the programme in the right way 💪🏼
🚨 IMSA Driver Announcement 🚨
Welcome to the team
@ollyjarvis
! Oliver will be running the full IMSA season with us in the No. 60 Acura ARX-05 starting next year!
Official release:
P7 was not the result we were hoping for but i loved every second of this race! I had so many tough/fair battles with world class drivers. This race gets better & better & I hope I'm fortunate enough to return next year & once again fight for the🏆
@Bathurst12hour
@IntercontGTC
Rookie error. Packed for Daytona & Bathurst so shorts, t-shirts, sunglasses etc. Completely forgot about my trip to Toronto 1st and just landed & it's -14 ⛄⛄⛄
So proud of these guys! I just wish we could have rewarded them for their incredible hard work. We will come back even stronger

@IMSA
Yesterday I had the honour to meet Evi & Justin Gurney, where we presented them with a painting to show our respect for that incredible lap record that stood for 26yrs. It was incredible to be able to sit in the original car that P.J Jones set that record in
#Respect
#AAR
So to understand this correctly......they have decided to change regulations for a category that had 24 cars in Le Mans & was full of talent. For me this would have made sense in 2023 to coincide with the introduction of LMDH when the top class will be a more viable option 🤷🏼♂️
2019 is a go! It felt great to be back on track with all of our competitors. There's no better feeling than pushing the limits whilst navigating through the traffic

I really hope that once this is all over in certain circumstances we can maintain the social distancing. Standing in a queue without some one breathing down your neck & bumping into you is actually very pleasant
Got to look round & sit in some seriously cool race cars yesterday here in Long Beach. Just need to persuade the boss to let me drive them now! Great to see some of

P2!!! For a while there I was Rolex dreaming but congratulations to
@WayneTaylorRcng
on the win. We gave everything & P2 is an amazing result & a great way to kick start the season. Massive thanks to the whole team to make this a possibility!
Amazing day with my family at

for
@FIAWEC
. Unfortunately I didn't get to catch up with everyone i would have liked to but was great to be back in the paddock. Also got a surprise gift from
@DCRacing_Team
@JotaSport
. How cool is this!? Thank you 🙌
If they are going to allow cars to run all the way out to the tyre wall then they might as well move the tyre wall to the edge of the track 🤷🏼♂️
#Spa24h
Stunning effort from the whole team to fight back from 3 laps down to challenge for the win. Despite the initial disappointment we can be proud having given everything on track. Thanks to the whole
@MazdaRacing
@Multimatic
team, absolute rockstars 🙌🏼.

@JBomarito
I don’t know the F1 specific rules but in other series it is normal to let lapped cars pass the safety car. Shame for it to end if controversy but one thing is for sure it has been an epic battle between two of the very best. Absolute gladiators!!
#F1
🚨 NEWS: we are thrilled to welcome
@ollyjarvis

@FIAWEC
team for 2022.

A word on the heavily discussed
@dani_juncadella
incident yesterday: he was speeding up too early at the 2nd restart. He accelerated in 1st corridor on start/finish instead of 2nd one. According to the regulations this infringement was punished by the race control
#DTMSpielberg
Proud of what we achieved yesterday! Fastest lap of the race & great pace for both cars. HUGE progress from Daytona! A few niggling issues prevented better results but the pace is there. Excited for the season ahead!!! We will keep pushing!!!
#Sebring12hr
#Sebring12
So a restart at it's best but a penalty for the leader??? Still can't get my head round this one. I don't know the intricacies of the rule but can't see much wrong.
@dani_juncadella
We gave it everything to win this championship but unfortunately a fuel tank issue cost us a potential victory we needed. Regardless it's been an amazing
@FIAWEC
season & I can't thank
@JotaSport
@EyeOfJackieChan
enough. Incredible job by the whole team!!
#WEC
#LeMans
#Bahrain
We gave it everything we could! We came up just short of the win in P2 but incredibly proud of the result and the hard work that's gone in to make this possible. Absolutely loved my maiden season in
@IMSA
. Thanks
@MazdaRacing
@MazdaTeamJoest
What a weekend. Luck just not on our side. A puncture has put us out the race after climbing from p36 to p5 and in the mix for a podium. Awesome job
@al_buncombe
@SebMorris31
@BentleyRacing
. Sometimes that’s the way it goes.
@IntercontGTC
⚠ SAFETY CAR ⚠
Oliver Jarvis has looped the

Bentley and there's damage to the left-rear. What a shame - the car was a net sixth after starting dead last.

Just watching the
@IndyCar
coverage & interview with
@robertwickens
. Never easy to see another driver in that position but incredible to see his mental strength & determination. I can't wait to see him back in a race car. Truly inspirational!

Oooooh that was close!!
Great job by my teammate

What's peoples opinions on the new "LMP1" rules announced by
@FIAWEC
@24hoursoflemans
??? I like the concept but would have liked to have seen it made in conjunction with
@IMSA
. Isn't it about time we had 1 global set of LMP1/DPi regulations!?
Our
#LeMans24
challenge is over 💔
We had a fast car with a fantastic team and crew, but following several issues an engine failure means the end of the race for us in car
