ALMS M3 GT: One lap of Long Beach GP.
Looks like his teammate walked away from him. .

Thanks for sharing! It's always an opportunity to see in car footage of pro drivers.

Nice video. This was just the practice on Friday. Notice there is no one in the stands.
I saw the race on Saturday and it was awesome! The M3 GT is serious on track. |

I would have loved to have met up with you Sat after the race since my house is only 15 minutes from it to hear your exhaust. It's amazing how loud those cars are.

Comparatively, the M3 was acutally one of the quietest GT cars out there. The Vettes are extremely loud, very bassy, and the Ferraris and Porsches are just high pitched screamers. Of course the LP cars are the loudest group. I was there for the Indy race on Sunday as well, but actually enjoyed the ALMS on Saturday much more. I liked how each of the cars has more of a personality and the cars are closer to something that we can actually drive. You'll hear the B&B exhaust at some point. I'm sure we'll meet up at a track event this year. |

Joey's unforgettable move from 3rd to 1st after the block by Billy (resulting from Auberlin vs. ex-teammate Milner) was only heightened by Patrick Long hitting the wall seconds after owning the lead for the first time....oh the drama! Friday seemed to be the best day chick-wise. I missed the practice run aus posted, so good to at least see a bit of it here.
