Default View of Daytona from Inside the HPD ARX-04b

I've been curious how the view was inside the new prototype cars. The view out of the 919 looks like you would have major blindspots. While this is from the ESM HPD car, I'm sure the view from inside the Porsche, Toyota, or Audi is not entirely different. Cool video. I can't imagine how tall that first gear is!

It's like trying to drive out of a tunnel the entire time.

The 17 Falken Cup was MOVING...

Yeah I thought the same thing, but don't think he was going flat out through some of the earlier corners.

Here's the view from an LMPC car -- prototypes are fun!

LMPC around 175, the P2 cars are around 185-190 I believe.

You can see the down force increase thru the fender opening. Way cool! Watch the clearance decrease as the speed increases.
