I mastered that corner on my bigwheel! SIR was my playground on weekends in the 70'-80's.

This Corner has more Character than all the Street Tracks from F1 Together

That corner was a breeze, back in the late Eighties on the old course in the RS series drivin' a Honda CRXsi thanx dude(s)

There's amazing footage of the great Benoit Treluyer launching the Audi R18 at the 2011 Le mans, coming out of, I think the Dunlop curves, all 4 wheels of the ground.

Marshall needs to take it down several notches.

It sure seems a lot different/bumpier than it was when iRacing scanned it many years ago. And it was pretty bumpy then. Hehe. I’m pretty familiar with driving the iRacing version, and the cars don’t look nearly the same going through there now in the track’s current state. It has changed a lot.

I want an IMSA fitted hat! 👀 Is that on the website? It's so cool having Sebring like 45 mins from my house

[@adrianprado7981]

So coolllllllllllll

[@magg7771]

Isn't prettily an actual word? I think so... 😂 I'm not a native English speaker that's why I'm asking. Anyway, thanks to Michael and Kyle for the video, really enjoyed it. I'd to visit Sebring and Daytona one day.

That polo isn't very Emo Kirk

[@shogun_arasaka]

"Most iconic corner in motorsports"... xD Come on buddy, cut i out.

[@evanwhite8377]

One of without question.

[@ACougarSwagnum]

good interview, dude always worries me, because i'm afraid he will die soon without getting the weight a little more under control, and it's always so hot at these events
but good questions, nice energy

[@BritAcrossThePond]

Eau Rouge is the most iconic corner in motorsports

[@DuvJones]

Fair enough, but for the US.... it's pretty big.

[@dylanhaili5646]

Agreed and much less forgiving

[@enemyspotted2467]

“Umh actually… it’s Raidillon 🤓 👆.” That’s how you sound arguing semantics

[@BritAcrossThePond]

@@enemyspotted2467I knew someone would say this lol,

[@BLITZKRIEG1]

🥱🥱🥱

[@MadAdventure919]

It's about time to fix those bumps.

[@evanwhite8377]

Respect the bumps!!

[@koboskolors]

Absolutely not!

[@Phykx-ed_Up]

Ohh hell nah

[@PeterKKraus]

Why not just resurface the whole thing and get rid of the bumps?

[@ragereset2795]

At what point do you start thinking about resurfacing. 🤔

[@musicworld6803]

Why does this guy keep touching the drivers? He kept getting close to Grosjean too and you can tell they aren't comfortable with it. Professionalism please?
