Default Mid Ohio PCA Race Video

Here are my highlights of the Enduro race on Sunday. I had a very exciting race with another E car. We exchanged the class lead 7 times.

Any other videos out there?

Nice video Jim, and great racing! It's a lot of fun when you run that close the whole time. Thanks for posting.

Cheers!

Nice run Jim. You are so smooth out there, does your car ever get out of shape?

Never ran the pro course, but it looks like the Keyhole is more fun that way.

Nice driving Jim. I have a great first 20 minutes from starting DFL in the enduro, then another great section near the end where Jack is chasing down a car that got ahead of us during the pit stop due to some, uh, mishaps. Working on the video now.

I am very proud of the fact that Jim only lapped me once during the Enduro ! He used to lap me once during a sprint !

Thanks Larry. Yes I definitely get out of shape from time to time. I just don't post that video

I agree about the pro course. It allows for some interesting racecraft to play out because the way you choose to attack or defend going into the Keyhole has a big impact on your ability to attack or defend at the end of the backstretch. It also puts even more of a premium on carrying speed out of Turn 1, which makes for some exciting moments.

Nice race. Man, that bump on the turn before the main straight is ugly.

Great video Jim. Greg seemed to have more power than you but your clean line racing got you through! I particularly liked the late-braking pass you put on him in the first lap. Nice!

Jim, great run! Thanks for sharing the video. I was a bit further behind but could see the battle as you both exited the Keyhole. As previously posted, you looked much smoother then I felt driving from behind.

Nice job Jim! I haven't been to Mid-Ohio but I've seen other videos of you running there and you appear to have that track hard-wired. That late braking inside pass into T4 (guessing on turn #) seems to work for you every time. It looked like the 12 was trying to cover that inside line earlier in the race but was not able to get to the inside before you later in the race. Really enjoyed the video. Thanks!
