Somewhat belated, but no less relevant, here are a number of follow-up stories from an epic 2025 Rolex 24 at Daytona.
Tommy Milner’s uni-digital response to the on-track shenanigans with Augusto Farfus became an instantly iconic image, the Corvette star seizing the moment with a line of T-shirts benefitting the American Eagle Foundation – Giving the Bird to benefit birds!
You’ll see that below but first there’s a catch-up interview with Tommy joining Marshall Pruett on this week’s #TWISC – The Week In Sportscars podcast. As things stand he’s sold over 3,500 shirts!
A Daytona 24 win shirt would’ve been a bit more fun but instead we’re going to raise some money for the @AEFeagles – In collaboration with @abeltoth all profit from the sale of these shirts will go to American Eagle Foundationhttps://t.co/hCLheAjHdd pic.twitter.com/jFUHaIQMKb

Brothers United
Both Vanthoor brothers played significant parts in the GTP dramas through the race, Dries keeping the BMW in the hunt, Laurens playing a full part in the Porsche victory.
So the latest edition of their Over The Limit video podcast could well be worth a look?
Famous In Bedford
A bit of non-motorsport media interest in endurance racing is always welcome and Nick Tandy’s historic completion of a run of overall wins at the four major 24 Hour races attracted plenty of that – never more so than in his home county. The Bedford Independent were in touch with a view to celebrating their famous local – and DSC and our snapper Jack Webster obliged!
P***ed Off Christophe
Whilst many were delighted to witness and mark Tandy’s historic moment, there was one man that was, perhaps, less keen! As this social media post from #TWISC favourite Christophe Bouchut makes clear!
So here, if only to fend off any subsequent complaints, are the cars that Christophe used to complete his 24 Hour record!!
The 1993 Peugeot 905 at Le Mans
The 1995 Kremer K8 at Daytona
The 2001 Chrysler Viper GTS-R at Spa
Here’s the Zakspeed Viper that took him to a class win in SP8 and second overall at the 2007 Nurburgring 24
And here, from 2022 is the Ligier JS2R that took Christophe to his own personal career apex, the class win in TCX at the 24H Dubai – 41st overall!
