Nothing really was changed for 2012.. Actually the GTC cars have to run a restrictor that slows them down.. So they are slower then a stock cup..

In 2010 Qualy for the 12 hour i did a 2:05... Without restrictor...
I thought GTC cars can change springs, brakes and tires?

What an amazing example of race car DRIVING, thanks for sharing.
The Sebring track surface is almost as bad as our frost heaving -pot holed roads here in Quebec...the talent he has in turning laps at that speed is most humbling.

Unreal. He's awesome.

And no, he doesn't make it look easy at all. He looks like he's working damn hard, but at the same time seems comfortable throwing the car into the corner and being back at full throttle with opposite lock still on. Awesome.

Funny, I was going to comment when I posted the video that Sean's driving style reminds me a lot of yours. I guess quick is quick.

Good luck today.

Bummer for Rames and NGT, and bummer for the two Venezuelan drivers and the magnificent Sean Edwards.

One thing I noticed about the pole lap video. You know how coaches and instructors are always saying "be smooth, avoid sudden movements". That whole lap looks like one "sudden movement" lol
