    The B roll footage of the cars going around looks like the old school DTM racing footage. Nostalgic

    This was a great GLTC and driver documentary. I have new level of respect for Swenson in choosing to withdraw from race 4 due to dangerous conditions. Come back to race another day. Amazing video and I felt the tension the whole time through this cinematic story.

    Not even a minute in and I have goosebumps. Incredible story telling. Jeremy deserves all the respect in the world for doing what he believes is best for him and sticking to it.

    I'll put this work up in the same category as "Road to Le Mans". Especially considering it likely done at a fraction of the budget. Thank You Alex

      All those cars at about the 10 minute mark. Second race. Actually racing like gentleman, no big money, no agenda. Just racing what they built and don't want to have to fix or replace themselves. It is I do believe the last pure form of motorsports racing that anyone can get involved in. I'm trying to myself, still have a way to go but time attack and the format is the last form of real racing, besides of course straight up drag racing, but even drag racing takes big money to be competitive.

  • @johnvigolo4972

    Seriously recommend narrower tyre width for wet conditions. Those massive wide tyres in the wet are unable to generate enough heat to maintain any grip level. In addition, because they are so wide they’re ineffective in dispersing water & aqua planning becomes an issue.
    If you can, get the softest compound (lowest tread wear rating).
    Even look at running a narrower width dry tyre overall or for cooler conditions.
    As the saying goes, sometimes less is better.
    A wet skidpad is an excellent test bed to trial these changes in a safe & controlled environment.
