Welcome to Hooniverse’s guide to who is racing what and where they’re racing. Football takes precedence this weekend so if you’re watching the Super Bowl, keep your eyes peeled for Nissan unveiling their new LMP1 racecar during an ad break. Sure, the car has already been spotted Hooniverse friend Stef Schrader (aka ninjacoco around these parts), but hopefully we’ll get clear picture and maybe even some confirmation of the speculation from Michael Fuller over at Mulsanne’s Corner. Anyway, the weekend’s racing is a bit light otherwise, but follow the jump to see who’s racing in the coming days.

Rally America: Sno*Drift

Get it? Do you get it? The asterisk is like a snowflake because Rally America’s season opener takes place on the snowy forest roads near the tip of the Michigan Mitten’s Middle Finger. Hooniverse reguler engineerd made the journey to Sno*Drift not too long ago and that post is worth (re)discovering. Unfortunately, Steve Nowicki’s sweet Plymouth Fire Arrow is not on the entry list this year, which is a massive disappointment.
On the entry list, however, is David Higgins. Higgins is the defending Rally America champion with four consecutive championships (2011-2014) and six total RA titles (2002 and 2003 to boot) and this year he and co-driver Craig Drew will both be sitting firmly in a factory-supported 2015 Subaru WRX STI. I’d be very surprised if Higgins failed to win the title again this year, but stranger things have happened.
Fun fact: The United States Auto Club (USAC) sanctions Rally America.

Historic Sportscar Racing: Palm Beach International Raceway

The Historic Palm Beach Grand Prixrace opens the HSR season and in just a few weeks, they’ll be at Sebring International Raceway in support of the 12 Hour of Sebring. What will be at Palm Beach? Some incredible stuff: a 1966 Ford GT40, pro driver Gunnar Jeannette in a Porsche RS Spyder LMP2, two Elva Mark VIIs, all kinds of Porsches, at least three BMW CSL 3500s, and a ground-shaking 2004 Panoz GTS.
