It was a great debut. BBRGT came from Canada & I made the short trip from NorCal. What an amazing car. And Ben is a great driver. It was nice to see Sean & the rest of the guys from Multimatic there. Thanks Ben for the kind invite.

Thermal is a great place. Their motto is "Private Pavement"

It's everything I had hoped it would be, and more. Very fast, very friendly to drive, absolutely gorgeous in person, sounds amazing. I'm in love.

I mean honestly, wow. That is the dream right there. Everything about it is damn near perfect. The look, sound(!), livery, purpose, interior, all of it. Congratulations! Love that steering wheel and telemetry setup.

Actually one thing is not perfect; what it does to my enthusiasm for the road car.

What a beautiful car, hope to see it on the track some day. What a race car should be and what it was made for!

Everything in this thread is freaking nuts.

Incredible! That in-car video says it all, made me have goose bumps. Ed is right, good driver for sure.

Here’s some raw footage of the Mark II at Thermal. Enjoy! With the volume up, of course!

I could watch this all day! Thermal track looks super smooth and flows nicely. I did note that some of the apexes are marked with different colored paint. Nicer than cones that can get whacked.

Exposing my ignorance on current in car cameras, how is it panning from left to right? Would have thought camera angle would be fixed?

That was a surprise to me as well. The camera is a GoPro hero 8 and it has a fixed mount, I believe what you're seeing is its image stabilization algorithm .

Beautiful car. Was wondering how this car would look with the Gulf livery. Great job. Enjoy!!
