ON THE COVER:
Fighting the Cold at Rolex 24: If you weren’t able to attend this
year’s Rolex 24 race out in Daytona, Florida, we hope you were some-
where relaxing and warm. Earlier this year, fans from all over the world
gathered at the tracks in their warmest gear accompanied by warm
drinks spiked with their preferred libation to keep the blood pumping.
When we met at Turner Motorsports garage, you could not help but
think “how the cold would impact the race and was this year going to be
the coldest?”.
The challenge this year was indeed trying to get the horsepower
to the ground. Michelin alone provided nearly 13,000 tires to this year’s
race. As the cars get a new set of tires on every pit stop, and they stop
plenty in a 24-hour race, those tires will be cold and hard and not ready
right away to provide handling and traction.
The three-time sports car champion and owner of Wayne Taylor
Racing has won the most prestigious motorsports events around the
world as a driver and team owner. As a driver, Taylor won the Rolex 24 at
Daytona twice so he is no stranger to the ever-changing weather condi-
tions.
He shared that for this year’s event the team actually spent more
money on gear to keep people warm than on the tires!
