    That Viper sounds amazing throughout it's run, and it was funny watching the tracker lose the car as if it decided it was wanting to go somewhere else. Love seeing the road course content - Road America is my second favorite track (Road Atlanta is my first but I'm biased living in GA).
    That Viper screams the song of our people beautifully.

    The on board footage is awesome and the Viper has a sweet sound, this still of racing is much more involved given the race could be wet or dry or a bit of both which means car set up is so critical to getting a win

  • @tony66au

    Big difference between the first cold tyre lap and the 2 hotter laps, great to see the differences between the 2, Im still amazed at the low rev corner exits.
    I've been watching Casey Puschs channel a bit and he features his Vipers but I still got way more of a feel for their capabilities from your In Car footage and some from the Targa Tasmania Viper entry than anywhere else.
    Love it, Appreciate your work.

    • @jttech44
      @jttech44 3 года назад

      It's a little different than FORZA in the way that your tires really make you pay for it if you run them hot for a couple laps, where in FORZA the tire wear is fairly linear. With a heavier car like they're racing, you're saving your tires for when you need them.
      The other big difference is that he's not downshifting as often, for similar reasons. Playing it a little safe because all the torque will break the back end loose and it's easier to modulate the throttle while being a little shallow in a gear.
      Basically, long story short, the car has more in it, sure, maybe a couple seconds if you really ran it hard, but you couldn't do that for 100 miles, and the average lap times would suffer.

  • @pr23t97

    You and the rest of the KSR crew do a great job. The viper sounds and seems to handle great. Helps to have such a smooth driver as Lee. I have always enjoyed watching the TA class when they raced in St. Pete when they ran down the old pier and back. Keep up the great content.
