The Ferrari Daytona SP3. Brilliantly captured through the lens and vision of @remnantmedia in Atlanta, GA.

Could the SP3 be the ultimate Ferrari?

The absolute best from Maranello…

It’s hard to imagine it ever getting any better than this car.

Some careers are measured by wins, championships, and trophies.

But the greatest ones are measured by the person behind them.

For more than four decades, 1st Phorm Athlete Ryan Hardwick has competed.

From racing dirt bikes as a kid, to becoming a World Champion on jet skis, to eventually making his way behind the wheel of a race car and competing on some of the biggest stages in motorsports.

He became a Lamborghini Super Trofeo Champion.

He won the 12 Hours of Sebring.

He won the Rolex 24 at Daytona.

He became a European Le Mans Series Champion.

He won the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

And ultimately, became an FIA World Endurance Champion.

These are accomplishments most racers can only dream about.

But as proud as we are of everything Ryan accomplished behind the wheel, the trophies only tell you what kind of racer he was.

They don’t tell you what kind of man he is.

And we’re even more proud of the man we’ve had the privilege of calling a 1st Phorm Athlete for so many years.

Because championships only tell part of his story.

Ryan has represented what we believe in at 1st Phorm through the way he competed, the way he carried himself, the way he treated people, and the way he continued to show up through the wins, losses, crashes, injuries, setbacks, and everything in between.

This past weekend Ryan climbed into a race car as a professional driver one final time, and fittingly, he climbed back out standing on the podium.

Ryan, thank you for allowing us to be a small part of an incredible career, for representing 1st Phorm the way you have, and most importantly, thank you for showing all of us what it looks like to spend a lifetime relentlessly pursuing the best version of yourself, and what it means to believe.

The racing chapter may be coming to an end but the impact you made along the way remains.

Congratulations on one hell of a career. We couldn’t be more proud to have you as part of the 1st Phorm family.

A day that I will never forget. My final race, at my hometown track, in front of all my friends, family and the fans who have supported me since day one. Some moments live forever. This was one of those days that I didn’t want to end. To everyone who has supported me on this journey, from the bottom of my heart… THANK YOU. 🙏🏻 by @ryanhardwck

Postcards from Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. Thank you to everyone who sent messages or stopped by to say hi in the paddock today. Your warm reception and gratitude for what I was able to accomplish in my racing career has been overwhelming.

I am truly enjoying every moment of the race weekend so far. Trying to take it all in and remember it deeply.

Qualifying didn’t go the way I wanted, with an early red flag I didn’t put together my best out there, but that’s how it goes sometimes. We will be starting towards the back, but this team has accomplished some great results after starting with our backs against the wall.

Just makes the story that much better. 💪🏼 taken in Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta by @ryanhardwck

It’s difficult to walk away from something you love. Even when you realize it’s time.

I’ve spent my entire life racing. I’ve devoted so much time, effort and energy into becoming the best possible competitor I can be. Along the way I’ve failed, I’ve crashed, and I’ve hurt myself more times than I care to remember. But, I’ve also achieved success that I never dreamed possible.

I’ve won championships in every racing series in which I’ve competed, except for two, and in both of those I finished 2nd overall.

Lamborghini Super Trofeo: National & World Champion

GT World Challenge America: GT Cup Champion

IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge: GS Champion

IMSA Weathertech Endurance Series: GTD Champion

European Le Mans Series: GTE Champion

FIA World Endurance Championship: LMGT3 World Champion

Asian Le Mans Series: GT 2nd overall

IMSA Weathertech Championship: GTD 2nd overall… twice.

The crowning achievement of my racing career was becoming only the second American driver in history to win the FIA World Endurance Championship, as well as winning the triple crown: with victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the 12 Hours of Sebring.

But for me, the best part of it all has been sharing these experiences with my family.

It hasn’t been easy for them. Especially Whitney. Racing at this level is hard for any spouse, especially knowing what the consequences of mistakes are. Whitney has received the telephone call that no wife wants to get… “Hello Ma’am, your husband has been in a serious crash and is in the hospital. He is stable, but how soon can you get here?”

Even after going through something like that, Whitney always supported me. She understood when I told her that I had to get back into the race car, because I knew that I was capable of so much more. It was her love that gave me the motivation to come back, and win the races that I did.

This decision has been hard, but I am at peace with it. I want to devote more of my time, effort and energy with my family. My two sons have dreams of their own, and I want to be there to love and support them every step of the way on their own journeys.

NASCAR in St Louis with @phormenergy was a blast!!!

@williambyron drove the wheels off our number 24 car, fighting his way through the field and finishing an impressive 4th place!

Had an incredible experience with the @teamhendrick crew, seeing them work in person is hugely impressive. With @kylelarsonracin taking the win, and our 24 car also in the top 5, there is no denying how strong this team is. 💪🏼 by @ryanhardwck

What an incredible day with @phormenergy and @1stphorm out in force at the @caffeineandoctane car show!

Our car culture here in Atlanta, GA is alive and well! @andyfrisella and I enjoyed sharing a few of our cars, and meeting so many of you who have the same passion that we do. A lot of great cars came out for the show today, but what’s really cool about this event is getting to meet the people who also love, own and drive them. Hope everyone enjoyed having a few @phormenergy drinks on us, and we look forward to seeing you all again at another event soon. 🫡 🇺🇸 by @ryanhardwck
