🏁 THE DAY THE PROTOTYPE WORLDS COLLIDED IN TAMPA! 🇺🇸 🇪🇺 ✨

Have you ever heard of the 1988 GTE World Challenge of Tampa? On November 27, 1988, the Florida State Fairgrounds hosted a historic and completely NON-CHAMPIONSHIP showdown!

- The Machines:

Since no points were on the line for the regular season, the main attraction was a legendary "winner-take-all" matchup: putting America’s IMSA GTP monsters head-to-head against Europe’s Group C machines (which dominated the FIA World Sports-Car Championship)!

While they looked visually similar, the rules were vastly different: Group C cars were lighter and more powerful, but they had to deal with strict fuel economy constraints. Who would come out on top?

- The Race:

The race ended with an incredible comeback by Geoff Brabham, who overcame a full lap deficit to take the win! And for history buffs, the famous Andretti family was out in full force: Mario and his son Michael shared a car to finish in the Top 6, while his youngest son Jeff was also on the grid!

Check out the FULL ORDER OF FINISH from this historic day:

1st 🥇 Geoff Brabham 🇦🇺 / John Morton 🇺🇸.
(Nissan GTP ZX-T) — 117 laps.

2nd 🥈 Oscar Larrauri 🇦🇷 / Massimo Sigala 🇮🇹.
(Porsche 962 C - Group C) — 117 laps.

5th Gianpiero Moretti 🇮🇹 / Stanley Dickens 🇸🇪.

8th Dan Gunn 🇺🇸 / Gary Kroll 🇺🇸.

A true festival of old-school motorsport that brought over 50,000 fans to Florida! There were two other editions, in 1989 and 1990. I'll be covering them here on Racing Culture soon.

Goodyear confirms the Vice City blimp will be overhead for the NASCAR race at Homestead.

"Fans at Homestead-Miami Speedway will see a unique Goodyear Blimp overhead during Championship Weekend, featuring a special Grand Theft Auto VI livery created in collaboration with Rockstar Games. The activation brings a distinctive new look to one of motorsport’s most recognizable icons for NASCAR’s season finale."

It is a pretty wild story. This bit must have been mental.

British adventurer Karl Bushby crossed the Bering Strait from Alaska to Siberia in March 2006 as part of his 28-year Goliath Expedition. [1, 2]

The Crossing Details

Partners: He was accompanied by French-American explorer Dimitri Kieffer. [1, 2]
Duration & Distance: It took them 14 days to cover roughly 150 miles of shifting ice floes to cross the 53-mile-wide strait. [1, 2, 3]
The Route: They towed 200-pound sleds ("The Beast"), scrambled over 30-foot pressure ridges, and dog-paddled across freezing open water pools. [1, 2]
The Hazards: Strong currents initially dragged them 50 miles north. However, the weather shifted when temperatures plunged to around -35°F and the winds died down, turning the slush into solid ice that allowed them to reach the Russian coast. [1, 2]
Aftermath: Upon stepping onto Russian soil, Bushby and Kieffer were detained by Russian border guards for crossing illegally due to visa complications, which threatened to derail the expedition. [1]

28 years ago, Karl Bushby left the UK in an attempt to become the first person to circumnavigate the world on foot.

Today, he arrived back in Hull for the final stretch of his journey to his mother’s house.

He left at 28. He’s now home at 57.

If you go and listen to the Coke speedway one it sounds funny because it was originally called Papyrus Super Speedway and then after everything was done, Vivendi signed Coke as a sponsor. So we had to try and replace the name with almost no time. It came out pretty good considering it was an ugly edit. haha.
