WeatherTech Laguna Seca PCA Full 60 Min Endurance Race 718 GT4 Clubsport MR Onboard
So there is kind of a back story to this video...
Had a great start and moved my way up to third place and at the start of the 6th lap my car was telling me I had a slow leak on the front passenger side tire so I had to slow down since it was showing 15 PSI while getting to the pits to get a quick tire change.
When I got back on to the track it took a minute for the car to read the correct PSI as it was still showing a slow leak which eventually corrected itself along with getting my head back into the race and had a lot of making up to do as we dropped down in rank quite a bit with a field of close to 40 cars.
On top of that on Friday when leaving the hot pits and taking the road back to my paddock, someone had placed a long extension cord from the paddock to the garage trying to get some power but placed it on the main road from the track to the paddock and in doing so when I ran over it my hot tire picked up the cord which then got caught on to my rear bumper and teared it almost in half.
We had taped it back up and was fine for the rest of Friday and Saturday races, but during this endurance race on the second stint the bumper decided to take flight during the race.
After all of that Paul Bolton and I worked our way back to 6th place out of a pack of around 40 cars so overall a great race!
Also still fine tuning the Vbox data but getting closer now that we can at least see what is coming through.

Great job last weekend Alain. I was having the same problems with vbox luckily Brad was able to install a decent vbox scene on ours and I was finally able to get all of the outputs from the CAN.
Hope to see you again soon!
