Default Video of my first GT race, TV and onboard

Wet race, my first GT race, i have done Nurburgring VLN race, but this is my first race in a modified street car. up against tube chassi cars, and the best money can buy from Porsche, Porsche RSR, same car that
our factory guys compete against in AMLS. Porsche Gran Am, Corvette C5 Transam series (Ron Fellows old car) Audi S1 replica pikes peak car, Viper ACR and a bunch more.
Normally this race include cars from GT4 through GT1 on the track, but it was so many cars (54) that they divided us into GT3 and GT4 one group and GT2, GT1 another group.
Very nice event, weather was not so good with overcast on friday and rain on saturday. My first ever test on rain tires was in main race, and boy did i use a few laps to get used to grip and feeling.
End of race track dried up and now tires overheated, i drove in every puddle i could find

all in all very happy with the first race, thanks to team, family and sponsors.
E85 in a Katech engine was a handfull on wet track, but i look foreward to a dry race

oh almost forgot, video link

sweet cars there - what a diverse group. I love those killer B Audis, though they look a bit out of place on a circuit.
