I know some of you liked the other Corvette racing team vids I posted. This one is pretty cool since its a POV camera.

I believe that was one of the Corvette prototype cars. They took the top 4 spots of that race.

The #4 car is what you were riding in.

I don't know if you noticed on the rear camera or not but the corvette racing team developed a system that puts arrows over cars that are coming up behind them and it changes the colors according to their speed.

It was really awesome watching the little bit i was able to of the race. Hearing those C7.R's in person is incredible.

I streamed the race online on/off during the 24 hours. If you find the right website, you can stream the in car cameras and the team audio. I watched the C7R guys quite a bit, it's where the footage from this video came from. Talk about being memorized for hours!

If you have never been to a track like Daytona or 'Dega, it's hard to describe what the banking on 2 1/2 mile tracks is really like. The bus stop is much smaller than it looks on tv.

Great video!
