I hope Porsche makes this a regular event. I think it's one hell of a special race to get all the Cups to run on the North Loop when traditionally the North Loop only is sanctioned for VLN race events.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys! I will be over racing in the ALMS again this season, so hope to see some of you at Road America and Road Atlanta! I really enjoyed Sebring, what an awesome race. Perhaps I will be over to driver coach some of you in the future too, the US is a cool place.

It's just for the sun actually, doesn't improve poor condition visibility, you are thinking of the yellow visor! This stayed wide open for the whole race

Haha Brian, how's things man? Hope you are doing well, we need to hook up some coaching in the US sometime! Maybe tie it in with one of the ALMS races, catch you soon dude.

Spa wasn't very wet, you are thinking of Silverstone 2008, that was monsoon?

I hear they are talking about bringing this event to Le Mans next year, that would be cool!

^^ Doing fine Sean, thanks. Spa/Silverstone ... who cares. I just remember you do know how to drive in the uberwet. Would love to catch up with you again over here. BTW, car now resembles a 993 GT2 ClubSport.

Great video Sean and here's hoping you keep it going and clinch the title(s). Looking forward to watching you exercise those skills for real at Silverstone in just over a week's time and hoping that those F1 team bosses will be taking note of your talent

Wow! Crazy controlled aggression in the rain. I could barely make out the cars in front of you because of the rooster tails and you kept it to the floor. Great car control especially in the rain. Good luck to you, you have a new fan!!

Awesome. We had conditions like this in Portland a couple weeks ago but it is basically flat. Having driven the 'Ring... kudos for an awesome drive that had me alternate between hoots and holy sh**s

Very enjoyable -- "edge of the seat" from the first gear change. The camera made it look like you had to use the force to know where to find the track. It looked like you were feeling out understeer sometimes more than others -- was there a reason for the change in grip here and there from lap to lap? (like the tires getting cold or just standing water or maybe just too quick in)

I'm curious to know your times at Laguna and Sears in whatever cars you've had at those tracks, especially if you've driven Laguna since they paved the inside of the exit berm (8b) at the bottom.

Thinking about keeping a Cup car stable in the wet, do you make multiple downshifts with the clutch pedal down or do you release the clutch between shifts?
