Default American Le Mans Winter testing Video from Sebring this week

Hi Guys,

It was posted by "Racer X" . on Blip.TV I don't know who that is but it is about 11 minutes long and pretty good.

http://blip.tv/file/1711651?filename...Testing100.wmv

We were there and got down to a 2:03.5 which was about 1.5 seconds off the fastest Michelin time of the 3 day test. We were on last year Dunlop compound which is behind what the BMW team now has.

I ran almost 8 hours of testing in two days during 4 two hour sessions. I only got out of the car between two hour sessions.

We didn't have our proper 1st gear for the hairpin but we will for the race.

Thanks
Lou G

So I take it you will be racing in GT2 again this year? Sucks what happened last year.

Glad to see you back Lou. Any idea how many races you will be at this year? I will look you up at Sebring and if you are at St Pete, I see you again there.

Thanks guys,

Our season hinges on Le Mans. If we get accepted at Le Mans, then we have a sponsor for that race and 2 other races. We also have Tomy Drissi with his sponsors for Long Beach, so we could have as many as 6 or as few as 2.

We will keep you posted.

Thanks
