Porsche cars will run a classic Apple livery this weekend at Laguna Seca.

While Apple TV broadcasts F1 action from Miami over the next few days, a throwback celebrating the company’s 50th birthday will be on two 963s run by Porsche Penske Motorsport competing in an IMSA event at Laguna Seca. They probably don’t have CarPlay inside, but the look is a reference to one that started running on a Porsche back in 1980.

The Epic Games Store has launched in Japan on the iPhone.

But it won’t have apps from other developers at launch. Right now, only Epic’s own Fortnite and Rocket League Sideswipe are available due to the Core Technology Commission.

Epic is also pushing for Apple to reduce the number of scare screens when installing the store. Currently, there are 9.
