Thanks guys, I haven't had time to put a highlights video together in a few years due to lack to time, but Sebring is a special race!

Looking forward to being back in the states racing again soon, awesome series!

This is an amazing video. So much better than the crappy broadcast from ABC and ESPN.

I jut can't believe the pace Sean Edwards carried compared to other driver. Passing Craig Stanton with ease is on another level, and the GTC class has a lot of super talent.

The Cisneros brothers did a great job as well. I wonder where did they get so fast out of the box?, I haven't seen them in the U.S. club races or track days for this matter. All I know is they're from Venezuela, and one of them won the fist 2011 IMSA GT3 Challenge.

Hi Sean,

I greatly enjoy watching you drive in the rain also. Any time you would like to give any input on driving, setup, videos, or just to tell us what you are up to and how a race went we would all appreciate it very much.

Good luck,

Joe

p.s I love Monaco.

Thanks

They are quick indeed, only one year of racing under their belts! They have a natural talent, shame they didn't start earlier, but they will do well in the years to come.

Cheers Joe. I try to jump around the forums giving advice, but time is very limited when you are racing 34 weekends a year! In fact this is my only weekend off until September now

I am always available to come over for driver coaching too, perhaps now I am racing in the US more often I could tie some days in before or after the ALMS races!

Monaco is good, the no tax part is best though

Hey Sean,

Cracking Drive!! You were rounding them up like you were giving a masterclass session on how to drive!!!

I loved the Left foot braking! It actually looks like you pump the brake everytime you throttle blipped, is that correct?

PS - Living in Moncao you must live near my mate Allan Simonsen?

Regards

Aaron

No just left foot braking after hitting curbs as the pads knock of the disk, we need to use the clutch on the downshifts for endurance racing, too much stress on the drive shafts otherwise.

Yes, know him well!

Not heard anything about that, are you sure you are not mistaken?

It's because they are LED's and the camera picks them up like that, to the human eye it's solid red!

Go to the ALMS website and check out the GTC standings, they did not give you guys any points!!

Either way very nice driving man and great video work!! I hope you run somemore with NGT, R&S are great people. Will you be at the 24 of Spa? If yes with who and what class??

- There were 9 cars in the class (and a total of 8 teams).
- Only 7 of 9 were rewarded driver points and only 6 of 8 teams recieved team points

That usually means a DQ or a serious oversight by ALMS officials.

Cheers Sean,

I am staying with Allan in Monaco in early July, who knows..... we may bump into each other???

I will be driving my 550 from the UK to Monaco Via Nurburgring for a bit of a blast.

Are you doing the Carrera World Cup in June in Nurburgring??
