Question Slightly OT: Why are 911 GT3 headlights yellow?
Watching the 24 hours of Daytona, and I noticed all of the Porsche headlights are yellow, and all the other cars are white. Anyone know why?

GT class headlights are yellow because those cars are slower...GTS are white so if TRG sees white headlights coming up behind them they know a faster car is trying to get by!

Ah, I see thanks. Actually, the only classes this year are DP (Daytona Prototype), GT, and SGS, so the DP's probably have the white ones, and the GT and SGS's probably have yellow.

Thanks!
