Default Complete race in-car: Road America PWC #45 Audi.

If anyone's bored, here's the complete in-car from race #2 at Road America last month -- minus the FCY time. Started in the middle of the field and finished near the front. Finished P2 in class. Lots of good racing, little bit of contact and some defending (we were the slowest on the straights compared to the cars we were battling... except for the Ginetta).

Mike,

Your Sig says you own 24 Hours of Le Mans #93 Dempsey Proton Porsche 911 RSR? Is that true?

How did you come about purchasing that?

I totally missed your name in the sig. Huge fan Mike!

Awesome driving. Love how the McLaren pushed the Stang out of the way to stay ahead of you.

Was the McLaren that much faster from BOP or set the aero flat.....thing looked like a handful in the carousel and monster on the straights.

also that brake check in canada was scary.....im guessing that audi was smart enough to give the radiators some protections.....seems like alot of other cars woulda punctured radiators with a tap like that

great drive and fun to watch, thanks for posting

Nice car control and you looked very relaxed and smooth even though there was someone on your *** most of the time.

Very cool video, thank for sharing.

Awesome, did we meet? Feel free to ask one of the crew to grab me if you don't see me milling about... I'm always happy to meet people from RL and show them around the car, etc.

Thanks for sharing Mike and nice driving. What class are you in? The standard of driving looks good.

How are you finding the R8 GT4? We have a customer considering one for next season. They are currently in a Cayman GT4 which has struggled for pace in the UK.

We also run 2 x KTM X-Bow GT4 cars and a McLaren GT4. Both very different cars which suit different drivers and circuits.

Cheers,
Sean
