Default ALMS Ford GT video
Some in car testing at Laguna Seca. Towards the end goes off at T9 at high speed but holds it together.

btw the RSRs do low 1:22s

Looked up the car to see what it looks like. Is this the current car?

Anthony drives for Black Swan in a 'stepsister' to this car. It is more likely David Murry.

WOW, interesting technique that would not work very well in a 911.
I drove with David a few times (had him coach me too when in lived in GA) and he was not driving like this in a 911. The car sounds and looks great though!

I like after the heel-toe downshifts his trailbraking technique (brakes and gas) , especially going into Turn 11, Turn 5, and entering the cork-screw. If I could learn to do that in my 951, I'd be one happy camper!

Awesome video, Thanks!

This one is a little more dramatic. Both this vid and the previous one posted are of the Robertson Racing Car. The Robertson and Black Swan/ Falken car were both maintained by Kevin Doran.

My buddy Tim owns the Black Swan car. He ran an RSR last year in ALMS before switching to Ford.

Thinking exactly the same thing. Sounds like the driver holds his foot on the gas a bit too long. I can't imagine motors last doing that.
