Default NASA Championship PTA Race Video

I can't find the other NASA video thread, here's the Group D (ST2/ST1/SU/PTA/PTB) championship race video in 2 parts. It's from the POV of the 3 PTA C5 cars, 5 cameras among them. We were the 3rd group split to take the green.

The cameras are all synced up and I tried to show each camera that had the most stuff going on in front of that lens at the time. Being semi dry, semi wet, and full wet in various (and changing!) places, it was a pretty wild 40 mins.

I didn't realize how long we battled till I watched the video, some good stuff there for about 5 laps. It's easy to over drive when somebody is beating on your license plate so I try to dial it down a notch, tried to hurt your entry on to the front straight and bog you down in T1. It worked, for awhile

It won't be long. Heck you're more than halfway there already.

I still can't believe we didn't have a 15 car pile up in that race with the conditions the way they were. Heck we never even had a full course yellow.

I just get the feeling there were a lot of cars out there riding around.
Very little of that traffic we were working through were PTB cars.

You run that race 100 times, 99 of them won't be pretty. We got lucky.

I am going to get fired if I watch all of that at work, but kind of disappointed that you guys didn't add data overlays and do a voice over with color commentary!!! And of course add in the obligatory G-oil, Corvette, Porsche, etc commercials.
