Looks and sounds awesome!! Nice driving!!

As an aside, what is the point of the rumble strips at COTA? Clearly you can just drive over them with next to no consequence. Why not just move them out further if you’re gonna pave further out anyway? I don't get it.....

You're supposed to drive on the rumble strips. They help rotate the car.

They also have different sized turtles that sit on the apex of the corners. Some you can safely drive over, some will rip your bumper off. Just depends on what the organization renting the track wants.

That weekend, they had the baby turtles out, so it was fine to drive over them.

Yeah, sorry, i know you are supposed to drive over them but having seen other videos of COTA it almost looks like in most races everyone can just ignore them. It seems more like a huge paved areas with the rumble strips behaving more like “guidelines”. Lol.

Im not ragging on his driving, just an observation from many videos I've seen from COTA. They guy who designed COTA is designing another track here in the PNW. I would assume it’ll be similar.
