Thought I would share an in car video of the 991 GT America on track at Sebring testing with Horton Autosport in preparation for the 2014 IMSA GTD season.

And this could be where I get confused with all the new models for Cup Cars. The 991 Cup for GTE has double wishbone front. http://www.racecar-engineering.com/c...rsche-991-gte/ For the GTE car, Timo comments in this article on how much easier it is to drive!

Great ride thanks for sharing!
I had not seen the tires moved back at 7.
The turn in at 16 and 17 would be early for me in a low horsepower car, it sure didn't seem to make a difference in a 991.

Thanks all. The 991's extra wheel base and new weight distribution makes it a much more balanced platform while still driving like the 911 we all know and love. Sebring is still bumpy and you can certainly feel the bumps in the 991 as well and I would agree the 991 is better through the bumps than previous Cups. The new seat and paddle shift system are very nice. The biggest learning curve comes with the Cosworth/Pi Data system...very elaborate, very complicated, very effective. Thanks all for taking the time to check out the video. Be Great, J

I could probably search for this somewhere, but whats the laptime comparison between last year's Cups (pole) and the GT America?
I should have gotten the stopwatch out for his video.
Car looks great, BTW.

The larger gains might come over full race distance from the car being less fatiguing to drive.
