Default First Video: Sebring In Car-ALMS GT2-LG Motorsports

Here it is guys,

Our first GT2 ALMS Video from Sebring 12 hour. It was not that good of a race for us (Sebring 4 hour) but here are a few laps.

Enjoy.

Thanks

That's awesome, Lou! Very exciting to see you running in ALMS. Sorry your Sebring race didn't go as you'd hoped, but it'll be fun to watch you improve!

You may have already done so and I missed it, but can you comment on the difference in feel from your perspective between the SWC car and this one?

Good luck,
Fred

You can tell when Lou is driving, he rests his left elbow on the door.

Damn those Audi's pass and are gone in a blink of an eye....



Lou

How does this car drive or feel differently then the old SWGT car?

TIA

Hi
for sure the slick tires(kumho) are a huge difference. The car has less down force and almost the same power.
The alms car has more low end torque.

We are working to improve the car as we speak

Much more complicated systems now and so much more data.

Still a hoot!

thanks

Thanks for sharing with us Lou.

But your videos really kill my working productivity. I end up watching them over and over.

Keep them coming.
Good luck. We're pulling for you.

So do I. I use the video for not only driving improvement but also to see what the car is doing or what I missed in the cockpit.

Thanks

We will also have some St Pete video up soon also.

We have a lot of work ahead of us to get the car working right. real lack of grip so far.

I have always love your in car videos. It was good meeting you at St Pete. Did you happen to video there by chance?

So what are your feelings about ALMS and the GT2 class. I am sure it is a little different out there with the four different classes and the closing rate the P1 & P2's have.

As a Corvette fan it is good to have a vette in the GT2 class now to also pull for. It is to bad Corvette Racing cannot get some more compition, where you have plenty. I am sure you will get past this learning curve and be right in the thich of it with the Porsche and Ferrari teams. I have always love your in car videos. It was good meeting you at St Pete.

You mentioned the lack of grip. Is it the tires or setup? If it is the tires are you commited to that brand or can you change and if so what does it to to the total setup?
