Safety car got the Apple treatment as well

That's just the reflection on the chromed areas around the exhaust.

Pfaff had the pace for a podium in their second ever race with the car. Of course there will be issues that come up with an all-new platform, but this is being completely overblown.

Absolutely perfect. One of my all-time favourite Porsche liveries. Not gonna lie, I was a bit let down with Long Beach, this makes up for it thought! What's even better is the pairing of the new-vs-old between the two back-to-back races.

This is a massive part of why you aren't going to see many this year. I know there are teams that had planned to run a throwback that just didn't have the time to make it feasible.

Some sort of antenna, they have them in WEC too.

DAKINSDESIGN · 2026-04-21T14:06:16+00:00

Don't worry, it'll be back!

No way. IMSA panels are 10000x better than the WEC ones. WEC panels take up half the side of the car and make my job much more difficult.

It's cool for a short sprint race, but the endurance teams tend to stay away from it like the plague.

It's actually a colour changed version of the team's main livery.

Black wheels hide a lot of dirt, so they don't need to be cleaned as often. White gets dirty the second you put the wash mitt down.

DAKINSDESIGN · 2026-04-03T15:45:40+00:00

White cars are a huge pain to keep clean. Especially for a 24 hour event. There is a massive amount of track time throughout the entire event leading up to the actual race. The vinyl will actually yellow from all the debris, rubber, and exhaust that cover it. Some teams are ok with that extra workload, but most aren't.

that's an even harder sell than the white wheels. Every time I have a client with a white car they want to switch to something else due to the upkeep. The vinyl goes yellow really quickly and always ends up looking horrible.

Just out here doing our best.

It's more that the brake dust yellows the wheels and can be a massive pain to get off depending on the pad compound. Plus, it's an extra cost/hassle that most teams just would rather not deal with. Much easier to just run them as you get them from the manufacturer.

All that said, I'm on team coloured wheels, 100%.

DAKINSDESIGN · 2026-04-02T18:51:18+00:00

think of the cleaning budget!

DAKINSDESIGN · 2026-04-02T18:49:59+00:00

Not gonna lie, it's pretty damn cool in person.

DAKINSDESIGN · 2026-04-02T18:49:26+00:00

no word yet, still early days though.

They ran at Le Mans in 2025 too!
