Badass nonetheless
each class has different color headlights. Tudor/Weathertech series runs 4 concurrent classes in 1 race. DP is white headlights, GT cars are yellow. PC cars, I think drivers put a bike helmet light on their heads (j/k of course).

Do you even downforce brah? You GT drivers dont' belong on the same track as us Prototype drivers who use white LEDs. Here is my 2015 Weathertech Daytona Prototype X5 diesel with a M57 single rail diesel. You see my white headlights behind you, better get out of my way.

they already offer carbon fiber. That's why people pay $3000 for a CF center console trim, decreases center console trim weight by 20 troy ounces, lowers center of gravity by 0.00003 "bahars", and increases street cred at local starbucks by 20 fathoms.

based on the videos you've posted of your off-roading skills on the track, I'll say you've at least mastered the Mario Kart drift!

I thought it was because yellow fogs let you see better in the fog? May I be wrong?

While this is potentially true...

...in the series it's for drivers and fans to differentiate the class of cars easier.
