Lots of power, not much weight, rain.

Since he broke away from /Drive and launched his own automotive-themed channel, Chris Harris has mostly focused on cars which you could actually buy. Admittedly, you'd need a lot of money for most of them, but you could do it. Well, although this car will be going up for auction in a couple of months, it is a bit different from those others. This is a 1988 Jaguar XJR-9, an endurance racer which won the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1988, its debut race.

A different Jaguar XJR-9 won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988, which is obviously quite a big deal, but this specific car just has the Daytona win to its name.
