[@LankyTurtle]

Haha!

[@floppa933]

Was not expecting Lanky Turtle to be filming at COTA but I am here for it

[@flyincoach]

Need to meet the Turtle one of these days.

[@kiantemcneal1327]

The Alpine has such a distinct sound. It sounds amazing, tbh.

[@aliefdrumline]

My hero at my home track. Lets goooooo!

[@spraceboy23]

Unfortunately 992 gt3r was muted

[@brianthomas7037]

[@theabyssaldemon]

[@mrwest5552]

sweet 🏁

[@rattletrapfox1001]

Do you have video of saturday? Car corral laps?

[@kuroshine]

I was trying to stream while taking photos, and it was just a poor imitation of you Mr. Turtle lol

[@Manbunmen65]

I have been to COTA one time for F1. Thinking about this race for next year. My question is, is it just a general admission ticket for all seating and can you access the back straight?

[@LankyTurtle]

Yeah you can go in the grandstands on the front straight, turn 1, and the stadium section at the end of the back straight with GA ticket. Looked like there were RVs along the back straight but I never ended up trying to go to that area

[@john-i7e9j]

👍👍

[@thedreamcars5601]

What camera do you use? And how much is it?

[@LankyTurtle]

@@thedreamcars5601 Sony AX53 camcorder has been replaced by the Sony AX43 which is almost exactly the same. They go for around $800-$1000

[@alexwtreber]

LT, do you have a media pass or are you shooting from spectator areas?

[@ASiMRacer]

Looks like he’s by the paddock area, which is an additional purchase but accessible

[@LankyTurtle]

All spectator areas, I got the additional paddock pass but the only view I got from that is when they're leaving the pits but there's a tall fence there. You can't see any of the cars in the paddock because they're all hidden in the pit garages

[@SidusBrist]

When I attended the 6 Hours of Imola I hated the sound of the Alpine Hypercar, you usually don't hear it in WEC videos but you can hear it here, it's painful to my ears 🥲

[@Wxcawotte]

Same, it s awful

[@stijnpaspont]

Total opposite here. I love it

[@namesii1880]

I get why you wouldn't like it. But for me it sounds great, it has such a unique and interesting sound.

[@flm24hporsche54]

No isotta fachini

[@cliffordbruber2791]

Nope. No Isotta Fraschini. They are trying to improve the car and could possibly be back on the grid next year, but it remains to be seen.

[@ricardoturlan]

They sound SO lame!!! Was there today and it was fun but I need more decibels

[@floppa933]

Only the Cadillac is really bringing the sound they should take the mufflers off the GT3 cars.

[@gibz5467]

@@floppa933 the z06 is somehow the loudest among the Gt3s and maybe even some of the hypercars, tied by the mustang

[@diethersantos6404]

​@@floppa933Raghhhh!!!! Also what about the Lambo LMH??? 🫠

[@floppa933]

@@gibz5467 in IMSA the Huracan is definitely the loudest GT3 but im not sure how different things are in WEC
