It is hot in Daytona Beach at the moment, hot with a capital everything. Which means the cars are gleaming in the sun, we Englishmen are wilting in the heat and the haze is building.
Group C cars fit in quite nicely in the Florida sunshine

Imagine then how hot it must be inside a Group C car out in that sunshine. Not only are they from an era before decent air conditioning and driver safety regulations, but they are also absolute brutes. So muscling a 962 round Daytona in 30-degree heat must be excruciating.
Fortunately for us these cars look absolutely at home in this sunshine. Along with a small mixture of other cars from the era it's been beautiful just watching them pound round the Daytona horseshoe – and we've not even been out to the banking yet.
