One week after Sébastien Loeb rolled back the years on the Monte Carlo Rally at the age of 47, another motorsport veteran showed how it’s done at the Daytona 24 Hours
“Oh my God, this is incredible,” said the ever-irrepressible winner. “I knew my friend Ricky was right behind me, I knew his strengths – but I hadn’t taught him all I know!”
Jarvis was a winner for Team GB in the old A1GP ‘World Cup of motorsport’ single-seater series in his twenties and was well regarded by Audi, with which he also raced in the DTM. The marque’s LMP1 exit was a blow at the end of 2016, but the Cambridgeshire racer has remained in high demand and is one of the many leading endurance drivers eyeing the forthcoming Hypercar era with relish.
Another pleasing aspect of sports car week at Daytona was the IMSA Sportscar Championship’s announcement of what its new premier class will be called when it takes its bow in 2023. LMDh was always a clumsy soubriquet. GTP is so much cooler and a nice throwback to the 1980s, when the US series used the term for its versions of the decade’s glorious Group C machines.
