That old TA Mustang was wicked fast but talking to the driver he told us that his brakes were overheating and he was not going to be able to keep that pace long term. Not sure if that meant that last lap we had to go or ...?
That is a tube frame car with (if I remember his comments correctly) 3 to 400 hp more than our cars and 600lbs less. What a beast of a car! Also, very well driven by a pro driver.
I was not expecting it to beat us to turn 1. I let the Orange tube frame Vette by on T3 and had him by T10 since the brakes are no match to their speed.
That particular race ended in a red flag due to a serious incident on T7 (the safety pin) which required cutting up the car to extricate the driver. I have asked about his condition with no feedback.
That sprint race (group 10) presented a different challenge as there were many different tire compounds being raced and the track was not as predictable as under IGT where we all race spec Pirelli slicks.
I was looking forward to a complete session with the TA cars to see how the cars and drivers compared.
Hope you had fun! Now you know its a Pelican behind the wheel, stop and introduce yourself next time!
