ma.
I ran the GT3 car last weekend at the Rose Cup races at Portland International Raceway.
Car was super quick once we made a few changes but not without some drama.
Did the test day on Thursday and made some shock and wing changes plus I needed some seat time to start to push harder.
In the first qualifying session I was quickest just ahead of my teammate in his Bentley GT3 .
In the second qualifying the Bentley wrongly thought I was letting him by on the entrance to the festival chicane and hit me in the right rear and spun me .
The car had some minor damage but he cut my tire down so I had to limp back to the pits.
The first race is a Sprint on Saturday afternoon and I started from pole ahead of the Bentley, we had to put 2 older heat cycled rear tires on and once we got the green flag I knew I was in trouble.
The car had no rear grip and on the 3rd lap I spun while leading.
Once I got going I was in last place and fighting a very unbalanced car,I did manage to get back to 5th by the end of the 15 minute race.
Sunday morning I got a new set of tires from the Pirelli trailer and I would start 2nd based on lap times from the race on Saturday.
We got the green flag and as we braked for the chicane I was hit from behind and had to shortcut the chicane and wait for the whole field to drive by.
Once I got going I realized the car was really hooked up and starting setting fast lap of the race every lap.
I had moved up to 7th in about 5 laps only to be crowded onto the grass by a backmarker and went to the back again.
I was so pissed off I started to really push and moved up to 2nd overall..
Set fastest race lap and ended up 20 seconds behind the GT3 Bentley.
Here is a video from the Thursday test day , the laps in the this session are about 1 to 1.5 seconds slower than my race fast laps.
Nice drive ! The car sounds great!

The Bronco looks like a popemobile compared to the sleekness of the GT's.
