Speed Demon Report post Posted December 18, 2018 I was at COTA (Circuit of the Americas) F1 track in Austin for a track weekend this past weekend. I met and had the pleasure of watching this promising and talented 25 year old pro racer, James Vance, drive my car for a few laps! James is a Lamborghini Ice Experience Driving instructor in addition to being a pro racer in IMSA with the JCW works team, has 4 NASCAR starts to his credit and works with multiple global brands instructing and coaching. This is a video of a few laps around COTA! Unfortunately, the Trofeo R street tires on the car were at the end of their track life but still his car control is phenomenal!

RedGTS Report post Posted December 18, 2018 Nice! Riding with a pro is a real eye-opener isn't it? Watching him pass everyone reminds me of when I was at VIR a few years ago with one of my GTR's, and got Leh Keen to drive it a few laps. A little later a guy I know fairly well (who tracks a modded ZR-1 and is much faster than I am, as he has 100x more track experience) came up to me in the pits and said, "What did you have in your coffee this morning? I thought you were going to run over me before you went by!" I wanted to smile and just say my driving had improved a lot lately, but I fessed up.

I thought I was pretty fast on street tires till I saw what he can do with my car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he does and he is a coach available for hire for drivers who want to get faster! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pure race cars on race slicks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
