Well Leh got a new in car camera and went testing at VIR this weekend in the GT3. He will be racing in the Grand Am Rolex series this year so get ready for some kick *** in car footage of all the races!

GT3 Testing at VIR

 

Hotness! Great video too! I'd love a ride in a GT3 Cup car... need . . . more . . . money . . .

See you all at VIR in two weeks!

 

Awesome! Wicked track too. He's really hustling through there. What kind of shifter is that he's using?

 

Greg you need to get Leh to bring the porshce out to one of the autocross's. In October we will be running Roebling again but running the course the other direction. Nice Vid!

 

thanks for the comments so far.

the shifter is a mix between stock and B&M.

 

i thinkthe cup car would do horrible around a autoX. the tires would never even get warm. it would still be fun tho. the steering is alot dif then a street car also. my turning radius is the same as a 18 wheeler... seriously

 

Great vid...nice work, I enjoyed watching that.

 

I did not realize that the steering was that diffrent for autocross to a road coarse.
It still would be cool to see though. Kevin Kipta (74 or so red 911 who way to fast) would shat him self when he see's it and tell him its running asp. HAHA

 

Is the steering ratio that high so that you can saw the wheel more for minute steering corrections? Is that factory equipment for a Cup car? I can't imagine I'd ever want my steering like that though...

 

Very nice video!!!

Comment and question: I noticed how quickly the downshifts were taking place, and it seemed really smooth, plus there's no indication of locking up the rear end. Is that just awesome driving skills with very quick heel-toe and very light flywheel/clutch combo? Jeez, if I try'd to downshift that quickly, I'd be locking up my rear end or fumbling with my heel-toeing efforts.

Post more vids!!!

 

well the main thing diferent about the steering is it only goes 3/4ths of a full rotation so 270 degrees and its locked. so at hutcheson island autoX i wouldnt be able to make any of the tight turns. and thats pretty much it. of corse its got alot of toe so the turn in is sharper than normal street cars. and stuff.

dnguyent: its jsut heal/toe action

 

We got more vids coming, When Leh showed me that one I told him he is not aloud to leave work to go racing unless he brings in a vid. j/k

Get ready for the Grand Am Rolex coverage especially the Rolex 24hour race.

Leh will there be a camera in the car for the 24?

 

Yah there will be. But it will only capture about 40 minutes of the start. We dont have time to change the tape in the middle of the race, obvisouly. But there will be alot of incar from practices. Im working on gettimg some of the footage of me doing a night practice from the Paul Reveir 200 race that i did in July at Daytona.

 

Not to change subjects, but how the dyno coming along?

 

Mike
thats a good question. PM sent

 

Hey,
Beautiful video! What were your times? Did you break 2:00? I take it that you will be running in the cup race on Sat. 2? Good luck.

 

2:01s was the best we could do in the heat. We plan on doing a 1:59 or 58 for qualifying. We will be doing the Rolex race, SGS class.
