A couple of my favourite things, vintage race cars and Rolex. This is my brothers Ford GT40 at Sebring Florida yesterday with the Rolex sign in the background.
I'm sure Tom has similar shots

The Rolex sponsorship sign! Ever been to the Melbourne F1 GP? The whole track is wallpapered with Rolex signs on every camera angle.

Rolex is the official "Timing Sponsor" of Formula 1 now. Replaced Hublot I believe back in 2013. Rolex signs are everywhere at all F1 tracks.

Is the GT40 original or a Replica?
