That’s fully expected at the Monte though.

The camera angle on those shots is so closely matched, I thought it was photoshop at first.

Side note: The white headlights on the GTLM cars bug me. Years of watching endurance racing has trained me that prototypes have white lights and GT cars have yellow lights.

I need to look up the rules on exterior lighting. Some of these are over the top!

The teams put colored lights on the cars to make them easier to identify in the dark. A line of lights in a unique pattern makes it really easy to identify your car in a pack at night.

As far as I am aware the regulations only address the head and tail lights on the car as well as that the number needs to be illuminated.

Yeah, but I’m sure they have some limit to what’s allowable...or they will soon. I like it, but at what point is it a distraction?

It’s just LED strips, wouldn’t be hard to do at all.
