Circuit of the Americas - PCA Enduro Race - Porsche GT4 Clubsport MR w/Data Overlay
First off need to give a big shout out to my amazing team BRRacing because it really takes team work to make the dream work.
Took a clean sweep in all 3 races in my class and 12th overall in this endurance race against a field of 35 with all cars ahead of us either being 991 Cup Cars or GT3R (with a few cups cars behind us as well).
Weather was awesome and track was better with the repave but still bumpy through certain areas
Had a great battle with a modified Cayman S who is a local from the area as this was his home track but kept with it and was able to to finally pass him before I had to pit for our driver change.
Retired Pro driver Robb Todd took over the wheel for the second stint and added to our lead after a really nice job of driving.
Unfortunately race was ended with 8 mins left due to a bad accident, so they checkered flag the race right after the black flag.
First race of the season is now in the books and already looking forward to the next one at Thunderhill Raceway with Trophy West next month.

Great stuff and nice driving!
Your car can handle a LOT more kerb use, both with apex cuts and exits. Your driving's already there, just trust the car and use that final 2% of the track at a wide-open place like COTA.

First 2 laps I was told by my team not to use yea curbs or it can hurt the tires as I was on stickers so I did as instructed but after that I started to use more of the track, but you are 100% correct I could of used even more.
Have 2 more events there this year with Yokohama Trophy West so I will definitely keep that in that back of my mind for those events.
Also for what ever its worth, I was on Yokohama slicks and everyone else were on the new Pirelli slicks and they seem to be a little faster at the start (so I been told), but also seems the Yokos last a little longer which definitely helps in an endurance race.

Enjoy the racing--season's only starting
... many international series have been impacted by this silly virus episode, hope it'll be less of a disruption in the states...
