I think I remember you, but I was in the guards red (kind of an orange-ish red) 981 and had to leave at lunch on Sunday. There was also a carmine red (more of a classic red) 981 and a guards red 718. The 981 v 718 wing edges have different treatments, but overall they look very similar. It was quite a fast group, but the black vette (C8 maybe?) and Camaro seemed a notch above the rest of us.

here is a video from one of my sessions. Lots of GT car action. I was able to run a 2:08, a personnel best for me at VIR.

Looks like you were in white group from the video. The black vette was running 2:02 or 2:03 cant remember. Those 2 were next to me in paddock. He was for sure fastest in white group and faster than most in black. I couldnt get under 2:12 in my 996. Thinking about hiring pro coach for next trip up to VIR. Also ordered some hoosiers.

Been there a few times a week at my facility for more than two decades, never get tired of the tremendous natural beauty there.
