Рет қаралды 3,329
Күн бұрынRide along with Mike Skeen driving a few laps in the former Robertson Racing Ford GT Le Mans racecar during a track day at Virginia International Raceway. These were the only laps I did and just as a demo, so no track records here, but loads of fun. Thank you to 3 Dog Garage for the opportunity!

As soon as I saw this car, the theme song from Team America started playing in my head.

The confidence and speed you have by lap 2 and 3 is incredible! Its always a challenge jumping into a new-to-you car but you make it look easy. Great drive as always, love watching your stuff.

Man this brings back memories. Plus no abs. It would be neat to see how this and a modern GT3 races on track. As always, thanks for the insight of all the cars you drive!

That car sounds absolutely wicked. I wish I got to hear them in person back in the day.

Never mind the apology for the camera from 1970. I am more impressed at how green all the tree’s were at VIR for February 😎

Period appropriate data system, @MichaelMaduske. I bet you didn't know AiM was even making dashes back then.

I have no weird/horrible nickname to give you this time. This looked like an absolute blast! I loved it when you met up with the stock car. He could pull away from you ever so slightly, but he was a bit too ambitious when it came to braking at turn 1.

I'm so happy this car still gets to be driven. How does it compare to your GT3 rides? More straight line speed I'm guessing?
@MikeSkeenRacing Жыл бұрын
Very similar. Maybe less straight line speed, but I’d have to double check. More grip. No abs.

@@MikeSkeenRacing The GT40 has more grip and less speed? Wow, I thought it'd be the opposite.
@MikeSkeenRacing Жыл бұрын
Similar power, for sure. Remember this was basically a class higher than GT3 back in the day. The GTE/GTLM cars had more grip.

Awesome! Why were you guys using that paddock? Got me all confused. Would be curious to see this thing at full Skeen song.
@MikeSkeenRacing Жыл бұрын
Ingram Experience events use that paddock because they have smaller groups and it gives everyone a good place to hang out and watch.

Cool video as always. Who was driving the #67 Next Gen Cup car? Cool to see how fast it was down the straight, but the GT eats it up everywhere else.

Let’s just say a very experienced and successful international Toyota driver.

Badass. How did it run ? Looked pretty quick
@MikeSkeenRacing Жыл бұрын
It did very well. Loads of grip. Easily down to a 47. No doubt it could be much quicker with some tweaking and pushing it more.
