Fastest COTA Time?
As far as I know the quickest time at COTA was Hennessey's 2:33 with Heinricy behind the wheel. Took our C8 out last weekend with prototype sway bars/ prototype monoball control arm bushings/hoosiers and ran a 2:26 on a 91 degree day.

Do you have a proper seat and harness in the car? can you share a pic if so and how you mounted the harness.

Yes it was on the narrow wheels. GS1R wider track wheels should be ready before COTA again in October. I have a few other things cooking for the car before then so we’ll definitely go faster.

Would have been an even better video had they used the PDR, then we'd have some idea of the speed, braking, acceleration and cornering g's we're seeing. Just the video doesn't really tell the whole story, IMO.

The only reason we didn't post PDR is that it glitched and didn't record sound so the video is a bit boring to watch. Here it is though
