thanks for all the nice comments guys it was an awesome event shared with the Indy Cars

second race we ran in the rain till they finally stopped us like they did the Indy cars

there are three classes of GT3's in the whole field usually about 10 cars each

Clearly you need to move up to the Platinum Class.

Mid-Ohio is a fun track. Good luck at that race if you go!

Very cool. Maybe you could let us know before you race so we can watch online if there’s a way.

Amazing! Keep it up!

Just out of curiosity, what would you do if Richard Mille called?
