Day 24 of my motorsport advent calendar.

The highlight of my motorsport year was Callum Ilott and Will Stevens winning the 6 hours (or should that be 8 hours?) of Spa-Francorchamps!

A dramatic race saw the number 12 Hertz Team Jota Porsche become the first privateer to win a Hypercar race.

30 years after the tragic events at the 1994 San Marino GP, fans and drivers at Imola paid tribute to Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger.

A view of the green hillsides and tall trees that surround the Imola Circuit. On the grass banks are two large banners – a rectangular yellow one showing Ayrton Senna’s eyes and the legend “Senna 30 years” and “Imola” and a shield shaped Ferrari banner with the famous black prancing horse.
