There are several onboard cameras that run during the race. This is the #64 Mustang GT3 running through the night. I was flipping between cars last night as well. The #65 Mustang wasn’t running an onboard. The 64 was 3rd in GTD Pro. Both Mustangs had great races.

This is the “Iron Dames†Porsche and the drivers that competed in the Rolex 24. They had gone 3 laps down at one point, but battled back to finish 8th in class. GTD
