New ALMS GT-2 Class Corvette in car video. Testing tires & breaking records.

I'm glad to hear that Corvette has also jumped into GT-2 class to do battle with Porsche, Ferrari, Viper etc. They really have no competition in GT-1 class since Aston droped out. This car is obviouslly not as fast as C6R GT-1 class car but I hope it will bring home the win in GT-2 for

BTW it is a long vid but .after warming up his tires on the first lap he keeps getting faster and faster breaking the track record first and then breaking his own record a couple of times and he is just testing tires


This is the in-Car Video from the ALMS tire test that we just did at Texas Motorsports ranch on the 1.7 mi CCW track.

Again, this test was done in our World Challenge Corvette C6 in WC Trim with restrictor plate in place with the only difference being the Tires used in the test. We did a back to back test against our WC Tires to get a base line on those tires since the Texas weather can be a huge factor in any times at the track. The temp was in the mid seventies this day.

Tire info coming later.

This time is faster than we have ever been on that track including with our Trans Am Corvette w 700+hp.

This is a record for Closed Cockpit GT cars there also.

Data showed over 2 g's

Enjoy it

I did

Thanks
