Nice video.. The car that was carrying the camera looked like it's driver knew what he was doing... The GT2 in front was WAAAAAAY off his line.. you could park a BUS between him and the apex at some corners..

Thanks for posting it .. very interesting.

Imagine how fast the GT2 would be if it had a driver with a clue

This thread explains the increase in the number of views on Youtube! Thanks for posting it. The GT2 driver was at Sebring for the first time. He improved a lot over the weekend. Thanks for the kind comments on my driving. I just love the 6!

Nice vid and nice track. How is the track surface? Is it kinda bumpy? Very nice driving skills. Mike

1 and 17 are the bumpiest. Sebring has a lot of elevation changes... 1 inch at a time. The key to turn one is to be as close to the inside wall as possible. LMP1s and LMP2s take it at 140mph. I'm happy when my traqmate says 84. It's a fantastic track!

You were obviously the WAY better driver, not even a question... What's funny is, I could SEE the electronic nannies and aids SAVING HIS *** hahahhaha, he would have been off in the dirt the first turn in your car!

Amazing how the 2 pulls away in the straights. No doubt, track familiarity is essential.

If your car is 2 stiff and cannot ride the bumps that is the way to take turn 1 .....
