2020 Shelby GT500 CFTP Advanced Track Day! (Video)

[Goose17]

Craziest track day to date for me! Eagles Canyon Raceway in TX hosted an Advanced Performance Driving Day at their track with 2 groups: orange & yellow for 5 sessions. I was placed in the top (yellow) group with 2 Porsches (a GT3 & a Turbo S). We had a ZO6 with us for the 1st session, but he hurt his motor and dropped out leaving just the 2 German track machines and me! Sessions 4 & 5 were opened to the track members that brought out their crazy dedicated track cars. I was chasing a 2800 lb. stripped Porsche running a GT3 suspension and driven by the Porsche Club of America's Master Instructor (I found out after). I had my fastest lap chasing after him with a 2:07.4. A friend with a base model 2020 GT500 was in the other group... he was running 2:20 laps with one at 2:18.

I give you different camera views inside and outside the car. The video finishes with my fastest 3 consecutive laps with real time data as well as an overhead view with my performance data. I hope you enjoy this video... it was an EPIC day at the track!

Thank you sir! If you are in the area, it’s a MUST! It’s a fun track with nothing to hit, so you can push yourself. I went off track twice, one is in the video. It was a frigg’n BLAST!

Are you in the DFW area? If so, we can coordinate a track day.

Yes, I am in DFW. Keep me posted on the next event? Consider me a novice although I have extensive time racing karts and also attended the Ron Fellow's Corvette driving school out in Vegas a couple years back. Oh and I play a crap ton of racing simulators too

I have seen some reports of pretty insane tire wear on track. Is that your experience? Nice driving.

I have been documenting my tire condition after each track day for a video I plan to make. The wear is not as bad as you would think. A proper track alignment is vital.
