One of the coolest trophies in racing is the Rolex watch awarded to winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona.

Race for Time

ACCORDING TO BANDIT HEELER (arguably the second-most famous blue heeler to come from Down Under), "Ice cream tastes the best when you've earned it." This sentiment applies to more than just sweets, though. Each year Rolex awards the winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona an Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona, a timepiece better known by the simpler epithet Daytona. More than just a testament to the feat of winning a 24-hour endurance race, this watch is also among the coolest trophies in all of motorsports.

The Best Odds

The cars I recall most fondly were neither the prettiest nor the quickest. Certainly not the most expensive. They were machines that emerged willfully peculiar and intractably idiosyncratic.

Forget the bestseller list—we’re stacking our to-read pile with novels in which cars are the main characters.

IT WAS A MEDIOCRE BOOK, the kind you pick up at the airport and forget by the time you get to baggage claim. I couldn't tell you the plot, but I can tell you which cars were in it. I remember because they were unusual models: an Oldsmobile 442, a Dodge Shelby Charger, and a '73 Plymouth Road Runner.

Time to Re-Tire

Ford Maverick Lobo HIGHS: Raucous Lobo mode, shrewd parts-bin upgrades, rad (standard) wheels. LOWS: Not so sporty in other modes, no extra horsepower, would be a lot cooler if it had a grippier tire.
