Corvette Racing has been a mainstay in the gtd category. But this new Z06 GT3.R represents a new chapter for the team. Lets follow them through their trials and tribulations at the IMSA 2024 Daytona 24 hours endurance race.
I really appreciate how much you are able to add to the original footage. Your analysis and commentary make it so much more enjoyable!
Glad you enjoy it and aren't sick of my voice 😅
I think the corvette needs to overbore and hone their block for 10 more horsepower.... They are right there. Just need a few more ponies.
@@wbass243 bop unfortunately. the vette gets hit hard by it. makes less hp then the stock zl1.
@@GroovedSlickYou have an announcers voice with eye for detail & tons of factory team knowledge
Always love the cuts to future laps at the exact same point on track - always a cool transition
glad you like that ;)
I love sim racing but I know nothing about the real life stuff outside of F1, so I always appreciate your commentary. It really allows me to appreciate what makes these events interesting to watch.
Glad to hear you're enjoying!
Two videos for one race! Hell yes!
Two for the price of one 😅
I love these videos. please keep making them!
I've been waiting for this car and the mustang GTD to start the season. Thanks for sharing.
Subscribed. Your last two videos are what finally got the IMSA hooks into me. I love the storytelling style. The excitement is so clear and addicting!
So glad you enjoyed, thanks!!
your commentary is leagues above the broadcast it really helps new viewers thanks for putting these out!
Great video and commentary. These are the best Corvette factory cars ever and the competition in GTR is fantastic. well done!
glad you enjoyed!
Damn! That VET is sick. Charging corners
I love your content man. Ever since I found your channel it’s like I struck gold. It’s hard to find people covering this stuff. Thank you !
Really glad you enjoyed, thanks!
I love that you covered the GTD class as well. If you want you can also make a video about the end of the race because there was some very close racing
i had a great time watching the first 14ish hours of this race. i think i'll do it a little differently for the next 24 hour race to make sure i'll be there for the finish as well as the start. awesome video as usual, thank you for uploading
I made the same mistake the first time I went to Le Mans. Tried to stay up all night and ended up barely being awake for the final hours 😅
Thanks!
Great video. I don't follow any drivers or teams, but I love and watch all kinds of racing from moto-x, rally, x-country, hill climb, to Nascar, Drag, touring/road course. You had some really good "edge of your seat" footage there. Also it's apparent you have respectable knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for what you're commentating.
Thanks really glad you enjoyed! An amazing time to be a racing fan with so much at our fingertips for sure
Outstanding commentary.
Recently, I have become jaded w/regard to motor racing. The reason, predominately, is due to the announcers being boring in their commentaries. What a total surprise I just had watching 2 Grooved Slick videos. The intimacy that you bring to the race is both compelling and entertaining. The quality of your voice and articulation and outstanding and pleasing. Your video work looks very well done, and I'm now a subscriber. Thank-you so much, sir.
Thats very kind of you, I'm really glad to hear that this reinvigorated you!
Thanks, that was fun!
…’all of this missed by the broadcast…”
You ain’t kidding, they need a separate channel for GT racing.
Thank you for the content.
Man, I discovered this channel months ago, since then I've been hooked. Watched every single commentary video there is. Besides race highlights I watch all the time this is the channel I'm always excited to see, oh if you could've have seen the face, I made at 630am when I saw Grooved Slick new video, man I was filled with joy. Besides winning the actual lottery one day, this channel is a lottery win for me, keep up the good work. And I can proudly say this even though I don't buy merch from RUclips channels I'm more than happy to buy yours, like you have my full fledge support in your endeavors.
Thank you for your kind message! It makes me really happy that you are enjoying the videos so much! Thanks for your support!!
Your analysis is masterclass. So awesome
Once again a topclass video from you
Great job man don't stop
Really enjoyed that commenting excellent job this was awesome to watch thank you
glad you enjoyed!
I wish the corvette would get in ACC. I’d drive it.
Nobody breaks down the GT races like GS, keep up the great work 👍🏿
Thanks!
Jeez those brakes howling is annoying
Endurance racing is so great
Fantastic job! I really appreciate these videos, thank you for taking the time to make them :)
Wow, this is really good commentary!
glad you enjoyed!
5:42 Nice move.
Absolutely love your videos. Thanks so much for doing these.
Thank you for the kind message! Glad you're enjoying!
Excellent commentary... really enjoyed it...
Thanks
Great racing.
That Porsche paint job in the thumbnail is sick af.
As Spaniard and loving motor sports, i didn´t know about Antonio García. OMG he has an amazing resume!!!. i knew abaout Juncadella, but not García. Both great drivers. It´s nice to see them in a same team. Covette seems solid, just need a little improvement.
Good stuff keep ‘em coming!
Great commentary and explanation, happy to be a new subscriber.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
Your commentary is better than the tv one
I was at the edge of my seat watching this! The Vette might not seem to have the pace, but the driver is extremely good.
1st time seeing your content. Loved this!!! Only reason i watch these races is for the GT cars. Really wished the broadcast gave us more GT content.
New sub
Thanks! glad you enjoyed!
That squeaky brake is driving me nuts!
Thanks for the video though :)
Imagine for 24 hours... haha
@@GroovedSlick Yeah at least they swapped drivers now and then!
Those 296s were so fast in the NASCAR turns that they overtook everyone on the straight; even the Mustangs, which were straight line rockets during testing, struggled to hold their elbows when being overtaken in the NASCAR turns.
The 296 is going to be so tough to beat in 2024
Great casting man, really enjoyed this. Took my mind off being sick :)
Glad that helped a bit!
This video just shows how far off the pace that 992 Gt3R was all race ;(. Awesome video.
I know it was so hard to watch rexy just fall back through the pack
Really good color commentary...
Solid commentary!
another fantastic video!! it would be really cool to see an analysis of the corvette in le mans 23 too!!
Oshkosh! Wisconsin represent!
1.17.8 on Long beach with this are -- Rfactor 2 its amazing
That was great commentating.
Not a corvette fan but😮I do like that an American car design doing so well
😊
awesome commentating and great video
the moments when one of the gtb cars roll by 😂 it's like, "you thought you were rollin"
wonderful commentary...
Great commentary
Great stuff!👍
Grooved Stick vid!!!!
Awesome video- let's hope Corvette wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans AGAIN this year! 2023 was an amazing win.
yes! totally agree!
the best circuits
Great video!
Crazy how’s there kids when that Corvette is headed towards the garage
I truly do hope you can do a video on the GT three Mustang. It has been my dream car forever and I would love for you to do a video on it.
I will definitely do one at some point!
this is so good that I got my popcorn and soda amazing video!!! 🍿🍿🍹🍹
😅 glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video, although I could not handle driving this thing with those loud brakes for 24hrs😭
I know! its so crazy how loud they are
great coverage. Im coming here for corvette racing and showing these types of cars. Groove slick or anyone, what is the best site to find race results for GT3 and GTD ? I find myself searching and only finding the big dogs in the races?
thanks! yeah its really tough to find coverage
Excellent
where do you get all this footage? Do they broadcast individual car footage on race days somewhere?
Yes, they stream onboards on the imsa tv website. But channels like GTonboards and someannon77 have archived a lot of them 👌
Good stuff man
I got a rim from the sun energy Amg.
GS is back baby
Love this vid the vette are certainly fast,can you do the same for the 62 Risi?
Unfortunately not onboard :( I would love to though
@@GroovedSlickoh that's sad keep up the good work ❤
those Ferrari 296 are No Joke
please try and make videos more frequently have to wait too long for your videos as i really enjoy your videos
The car has speed.
Do these cars have stock engines or are they modified in any way?
New Corvette C8 GT3 has insane speed but reliability issues hits them so far. but it's only brand new corvettes first year and next year for sure Corvette C8 Z06 GT3.R will be big one!
They're already looking so strong
keep going nice
They'll do fine....
So why are the porsche so slow in the straits. Seems like it's been that way for a while.
The whole point of going mid-engine was to ensure being a shoe-in for class victories like the c7s and c6s were; what is P&M doing?
Can we get a video on the Ferrari start? He gained like 10 places in lap 1 and also won the race later on. Didn’t see any relays of his start
I wish, but unfortunately no onboard :((
I spent so long watching rexy this race I missed the corvettes!
I did the same 😅. I had to rewatch to catch up on what I missed
Sorry, do you know how Corvette number 3 lost the taillight, and good video.
I think the 40 acura with button behind the wheel hit them at night in the second horseshoe
WEC and IMSA BOP are different so who knows at LM
I would have dont exactly what garcia did alittle more then half way in. Boss move thoes other guys tried to pull a fast one. Idk why they dont show dash cams more.
Is there a video without commentary? Some of us would enjoy the mechanical symphony.
check @someanon77 channel if you're interested 👌
@@GroovedSlick Thanks !!!!
The 992 is a very wired car. At nurburgring it broke a driveshaft, at daytona it was almost a moving chichane on the banks and at bathurst it was the definition of wiping the floor with the competition.
I've raced daytona on superbike. The problem isn't with the car. It's the balls on the men who won't go to the top of the wall in turn. 2. High on turn 3 and middle and then high coming out of turn 4. This driver played low all day long. Typical of those who fear the height. Down low the pavement is rough and abusive to tires and suspension. The asphalt at daytona drifts dowward and ripples at the bottom. Up top its smooth. Look at the pro drivers blasting pass, up high passing other drivers high on the wall. That's the fastest part of the track. Also when a competitor is loosing traction they tend to drift wide. Don't pass on the outside when their tires go. Look what happened to the lexus driver that crashed out. That's why he was holding his helmet. He knew better.
These are the things that go in a 24 hour race.
Breaks, tires, oil suspension. The fluid in the suspension will get hot and cause you to eat tires. That's one of the reasons you don't exercise the suspension on the rough part of the track down low at daytona, Rockingham, talladega or any place that has a steep wall. You apex and allow the cool air to enter your radiator to keep your engine cool. Drafting should be done at passing. Hugging the corners eats tires to much and causes them to chunk. At the end of the day, the car with the cooler engine and saved suspension will win the race. It eats less tires and the engine remains strong in 24 hour races. Loved the video. Fire the drivers. Get a pro driver. If I can hit speeds of 199 mph on a 771cc / 1mm over bore of a 750 Suzuki superbike at daytona up high on the wall coming out of turn 2, then this driver can get up high too.
Daytona is nothing like LeMans. LeMans is 8.3 or 8.4 miles long. It is a street course and has more turns. The tracks don’t compare at all.
I do agree the Vette looks good. I had an 84’ Vette. After owning and driving one I’ll never own another Chevy. They have done really well in endurance racing.
They both have multiple long high speed sections so yes they do compare well.
@@John_Redcorn_ no they don’t. I say again, a 2 or 3 mile track does not compare with 8.3 or 8.4 miles that is a mixed circuit. Daytona has banking and Le Mans doesn’t. Unless you have never driven or raced you should know these things; it’s elementary.
@@kimwarfield1587 the banked sections at daytona are high speed sections just like straights at le mans. High horsepower and low drag cars will have an advantage here. The total distance of a course does not matter; its the *elements* of the course. Daytona only has banking in the two high speed sections and its irrelevant in this race, as these cars make enough downforce to not really need the banking. The banking is there because its part of the normal nascar oval course. Its flat everywhere else
@@John_Redcorn_ you just proved my point.
I'm not certain there are enough antennas on that Vette.
😂
Sad no Ferrari GTD Pro in Full season 😢
I know! Maybe GTP next season though, or at least we can dream!
The Porsches obviously have been screwed in the BOP calculation.
I presume the Corvette is a V8 with a 180 crank by the sound?
exactly 🤤
Not the best result for both Corvette and Ford but its a start. Absolutely cannot wait for both of them to show up for GTWC Eu, DTM, and big Enduros like the Nurburgring 24h in the future.
Nurburgring 🤤🤤🤤
It was absolutely a great start for Corvette they dominated for hours constantly leading even after they got bushwhacked by the Acura LmDH eventually the damage caught up hours later and the car started losing performance and it took hours for it to take affect that in itself is incredible
yesssssssssss
The z06 really giving the Europeans hell
The gtd pro should be considerably more powerful than gtd imo.
It's depressing how empty the stands are😢
that means more room for us though 😅
👍👍👍
