Now we talking! Listen to that thing! Does anyone make out who the driver is in the past couple videos that were posted? I see two different drivers so far.

They are testing both automatic and manual transmissions. Also looks like a Go Pro camera on the roof in one video.

Their testing both cars now with the straight lip on the top edge of the rear fascia. That must be their preferred spec.

That's Jim Mero in the close up shot as they are driving by. Didn't recognize the other guy. I know for sure it wasn't Alex McDonald who is also a test driver.

I heard from a very good source last year at the Weathertech race at Laguna Seca that Alex McDonald was doing faster times at the ring while testing than Jim Mero. Of course there also is another driver in these videos that I don't recognize that could be a real hot shoe as well.
