It's Noel Edmonds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Edmonds, He's a well known UK TV presenter of light entertainment programmes. The pic is from Deal or No Deal.
Other than that, I have no idea :-)
He tried to get to Le Mans with Panoz ;)

It was a great effort from his team. The bearded one could be seen in the pits most of the time during the race helping out with stuff and chatting to team members. His first car died some time during the night and the second around 7:45 on Sunday morning at Dunlop. He looked real pissed off on the screens and was almost in tears. He jumped up on to the pit wall to wave and take a bow to the spectators and blow up Mr Blobbies in the grandstand opposite. Just for a brief second I almost felt sorry for the twat.
Thank you(s). :)

You've got me here. I know we're going this route, but I know not this person...."

I see yer pernt, but at the same time, there are many that can't swing that much time off so close together. In my case, being retired, I could, but still wouldn't just because they're too close together. I'd just be needin' my fill of the real 24, having already seen many of the past cars realtime back in the day.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy historic racing, but enuff is enuff within so little time. Anyhow, clk....enjoy....  :D

'Hadn't noticed before.....is it always so close to the real thing? Seems like it would lessen attendance......

McLaren have a big announcement on Sunday.  It may just be a new sponsor, but there's a risk its LMDh, or both.
They're running the cars in Gulf colours at the Monaco GP.

Sadly, Gulf must be the new sponsor.  I don't think they ever ran in those colours in F1, only in the later Davidoff GTF1s, and the did have some Gulf stickers on the orange Can-Am cars 50 years ago

I git you, but, I'll be happy to see a sponsor from 50+ years ago back again. :)

The Penske Automotive Group is one of the largest Porsche dealers in the US, been selling Porsches for almost six decades.  I can’t speak for you, but that sounds like a long relationship to me

Yeah, yeah, yeah..... :p I thought we were talking racing here......excuuuuuzze meeee..... :)

I also remember seeing Senna driving a Ferari at Sebring in '75 too.......oh wait a minute, that was Niki.....;)

(I always prefer smiling to frowning :))

:D

On a serious note, at the time, I wished he would have made Porsche a serious contender in CART.....

I'm afraid since the burning piano of 2008, recent conflagrations have been more modest affairs  :(
What? No cars or busses.....? ???
