IMSA 2024 Preseason Testing at Daytona

[@dklassen]

Lanky never disappoints.

[@lawrencekeating5571]

That all sound good - but gotta love the rumble of the Cadillac GTP and Mustang GT3. And thanks again for some great footage.

[@HalfDeafTTV]

these sounds of all classes together never gets old 👌🏻 i was stuck in pits all weekend so it’s great to see angles of the cars actually on track 😂

[@Tubesmaney]

That moving shot where you were running next to them was great Lanky! Well done!

[@LankyTurtle]

Thanks that was a total accident, I was riding the tour tram but I thought it came out cool

2:07 for the best shot! You always deliver the best of the pre season content and get us all hyped for the start of the endurance season brother and we cannot thank you enough!

Thanks for always posting the Sebring/Daytona goodness for IMSA, keeps us happy while waiting for the season to kick off. Appreciate the effort to record and post this for the other motor heads.

Lanky will be my go to track day videos in the US.

[@tescoshortage]

All of the N/A cars sound incredible. Here’s my list of what I think sounds the best. Ordered from best sounding to worst sounding. GTP: Cadillac V Series.R Acura ARX-06 Lamborghini SC63 Porsche 963 BMW M Hybrid V8 GTD: Ford Mustang GT3 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Lexus RC F GT3 Lamborghini Huracan GT3 Porsche 911 GT3 R Chevrolet Corvette C8.R McLaren 720S GT3 EVO Ferrari 296GT3 BMW M4 GT3

This content is on par, if not better, compared with 19bozzy92 and the other EU motorsport based content creators. Astonishing that you don't have as many subscribers as them, you deserve that. A + In my book is the Falcon Launches you have, top job! + 1 new subscriber from Denmark 👏👏

I’d say Bozzy, ItalianSupercarVideo, and this guy are the best.

@cameronmmj9291 he is in a different category with his amazing onboards and one of the best, no doubt. But this is trackside content primarily to take in account

[@nauq6630]

You deserve 100k subs, honestly, good work on camera shooting angles, they are amazing. Also, at 1:31, that Lamborghini LMDh was insanely fast.

[@LankyTurtle]

Thanks! I got down close to the fence for that one

[@michaeld.uchiha9084]

Did also the fastest time, only 8 tenth short from last years pole.

[@ric-kc6wm]

Some of the best racing I've seen all winter... So far

[@Mandolin1944]

Is this the year that there will be Corvette customer cars in addition of the factory team?

[@MostlyAutomotive48]

Yup! Two additional C8Rs are being run by the AWA team (#13 and #17 I think) for a total of four Corvette GT3s this coming season. Not sure they're at the test though.

[@Mandolin1944]

@@MostlyAutomotive48 Very cool! Don't see why that did not happen a decade or more ago.

[@LankyTurtle]

They were not at the test but I'm looking forward to seeing them in January

[@mgf_1631]

Mr Lanky. I think it would be super awesome if you could do live videos from the Rolex 24hrs Your videos have better sound and no annoying commentary. Thank you sir love your videos!

[@BrianRoediger]

SO excited for this upcoming season!

[@taidokazu]

Thanks Lanky as always. You showed us something unique that is coming ahead. Lamborghini vs. Cadillac. Scorigami, or whatever we would call that. I don't think there was a Gallardo or Murcielago vs the CTS-Vs in Speed World Challenge. There were not any remaining Diablos or JLOC Lambos at Le Mans with the Cadillac Northstar LMP1. (different class anyways)

[@davidshekhter5284]

[@Pointmikecalibre]

Superb as always. I have to ask though, was the new Aston testing at daytona?

[@LankyTurtle]

Yes I saw it go by a few times. From the stands it looked and sounded similar to the current car. I had very limited time seeing the track and mostly focused on getting Mustang and Lambo LMDh video so I just had to get whatever else I could in between. Hopefully they'll test at Sebring soon and I can get good close-up video without fences there

[@DillandShaj]

Lanky you absolute beauty! Awesome as always!

[@spartantv6268]

Did you get any video of that new vette on fire? great work as usual LT

[@i1cey]

these are crisp shots, what camera is this?

[@mrsoisauce9017]

Good footage, but I thought we’d see more from Aston Martin. Is the Vantage GT3 not there or something?

[@LankyTurtle]

There were 2 there, I saw one go by a couple times but I had very limited track viewing time as it was part of a track tour and I was pretty focused on getting Lambo LMDh and Mustang video. I also barely saw the Acuras or yellow Cadillac. There's pictures of it on sportscar365

[@mrsoisauce9017]

@@LankyTurtle I know about those, but I kind of wanted to see it running on video, especially given that some of the models have those headlight stickers removed. I didn't see any videos of them on YT when I searched. Not ur fault tho. I'll just wait and see if anything pops up

[@johnpatricklim4509]

Probably this will happen for future constructors going the lmdh route....use imsa as testing ground first before going wec....lambo and possibily honda are doing this....

[@RACECAR]

Acura is more of a "Honda Japan" issue. Acura would love to compete at Le Mans, but it would be up to Honda of Japan to allow it due to Acura being primarily a brand in North America (A barrier no other manufacturer in GTP has as their brand is the same regardless of where they are). With the massive unification of all of Honda's global racing efforts under a singular HRC brand (and even "Honda Performance Development" in North America being treated to a similar rebrand), this might be the first sign that they are preparing for that. As for Lambo, they are already competing in the WEC this season AND the North American Endurance Cup races (Sadly, The 24 won't be one due to how behind they were). Also, Alpine is ALSO going the LMDH route but are solely competing in WEC and NOT in ANY IMSA events.

[@haryosoo]

Just noticed that the 963 doesn't sound like any other turbo V8s on the grid

[@RACECAR]

The 963 and the SC63 are the only Turbo V8s on the grid (Both Twin Turbo to be exact). Every other V8 is Naturally Aspirated, included the BMWs (running what is basically the old DTM engine).

[@haryosoo]

@@RACECAR the BMW is turbo'd

[@RACECAR]

@@haryosoo Seemed to have had conflicting sources on this but according to BMW themselves, it is Turbo so that's my mistake.

[@haryosoo]

@@RACECAR the NA DTM engine could "only" push around 500 hp, so turbocharging it seemed sensible (while increasing complexity, it enhances the performance, reliability, and efficiency)

[@Steventhe2nd]

How do you get into testing?

You pay $25 for an hour long track tour and they drive you around the infield on a tram (have to stay on the tram) and at the end they let you go in the grandstands for about 20 minutes
