9:01 the shot of flames shooting out of the Cadillac's exhaust on traction control is amazing, it reminds me of the flames out the back of the C8.R from your Roar video last year.
Great stuff Lanky, and great new angles! Despite having already been to the Rolex 24, the hype your testing videos create makes it seem like the season’s starting all over again!
Man I LOVE this Sebring event. An IMSA race party, eat, sleep. A WEC race party, eat, sleep and a leisurely traffic free departure after a good breakfast.
@@uprightfossil6673 Do it. Fly into Orlando, Ft Lauderdale or somewhere, rent a van to party/sleep in, saves hotel cost. Grocery/beer run at the Sebring grocery store. Contact me we have a propane stove and cooking utensils. Disposable styrofoam cooler, ice at track is like $7 for a 10lb. bag if you need it. Get creative 😁. I can’t think of a similar schedule EVER. To have 2 twelve hour events with both series is just fantastic, I think it’s here to stay its so awesome for everybody, even the teams. 2024 I bet some teams run both events.
@@guybeingaguy thanks for the offer. Yeah, we do something similar in Indianapolis. Two brothers who like to camp and watch race cars. Cheers. Will definitely put Sebring on next years list now
I’m coming to Sebring for My first time to watch the 1000 miles and the 12 hrs. After being at this years Rolex 24 I think this is my new hobby now hahah! I’m hooked
I hope that the german teams can catch up a little in sebring. I mean BMW had no pace in daytona compared to the other Lmdh cars. And i was not really impressed with the reliability of Porsche. But still lets hope for some good racing in sebring folks!
It’s cool that both championships are here on the same weekend! It’s a little confusing remembering what’s when, but it will be great to finally see the pace of all the HyperCars at the same track.
its perfect as always bro, u killed it ^^ maybe more zoom out here (7:15) but dis angle, dis plan, dis shot is already perfect but if i can put a postiv critic lol ^^ more upload bro !!! salut ;)
8:14 GT3 cars have indicators? That's literally the first time I've ever seen indicators on a track racing car. I didn't think they were ever actually needed.
Awesome man, should be a couple more Porsches on track by then too. Lagunas a great place, I visited there once just with Barber racing school on track
Yeah. Most IMSA/WEC cars have turn signals. Letting the Porsche now where he was going to go for him to pass. Also useful if they have to drive back to the garage during the race through the infield roads.
Thanks LT. I just noticed that the Acura uses a similar engine as the 919, at least in cylinder count, that Porsche hounded the opposition with in WEC. Why didn't they just lift it wholesale from the 919 anyway? Cost, timing?
No it doesn't. The 919 was a V4 and is built to LMP1 regulations, which was totally different. The new LMDH/Hypercar formula is bigger, heavier, and less powerful, but a lot more affordable. The Acura uses a 2.4 V6 which is related to a cancelled 2024 Indycar engine that Honda was developing (indycar decided to stay with their existing 2.2l motor). it has technology Honda's Indycar, and from the championship winning Redbull-honda F1 engine program due to some engineers coming back to the US to work on it.
@@ciello___8307 Thanks Ciello, I don't even know where I could have read that. Certainly without question, Acura is the one to beat. They are really in a good form. 👍
I think it’s that small little turbocharged engine can just get up on it a lot quicker than the others. Replacing the high banks of Daytona will see if I’m right.
There's gaps at the top you can stick it though if you're really tall or else you can stand on a step ladder or cooler or something. There's always spider webs up there though
During a race it shows track position once the race starts but will show the car number before the start. For an officially timed test like this they would show the position in that particular session based on lap times, but might show the car number before they set a lap time. Also though it's mandatory to use them during a race I believe it's optional to use them during a test like this.
@@Dmooreslotreviews Hoping to get lots of video of the Hypercars from Prologue and Wednesday practice. I'll probably do a single car video of the Vanwall and Peugeots since I haven't seen those cars before
You can always count on Lanky for coming through with great video and excellent sound and quality. 🐢 🐢
LOVE the angles at Tower Bend, epic work 👏 4:29 👌
I love the exposed exhausts on the Porsche and Lamborghini's, seeing the exhaust glow red hot is just as cool as seeing the brakes glow red hot
Cadillac sound: *chef's kiss* 😚

Unrivaled camerawork. Subscribed.
Thanks for subscribing!
Porsche's taillights for both LMDh and GTD are simply lovely
Fingers crossed that those beautiful rear ends are the only angle the rest of the GT field gets to enjoy!
For those who didn’t experience these cars. The cadillacs downshifts vibrate ur whole body
The lambo is the Loudest GT3 on the field
I experienced the Cadillacs V8 thumping through my body at Daytona! Epic!!
@@nicholasmarshall3191 exactly brooooo it’s amazing, I was sitting at turn 1 and recorded the spin from the Acura at night. What a race
Before the race it Sounded like it would fail at the Rolex. Can’t wait to get up close to one
I’m coming to Sebring for
My first time to watch the 1000 miles and the 12 hrs. After being at this years Rolex 24 I think this is my new hobby now hahah! I’m hooked
It's a good hobby to have. And the season ends at Road Atlanta which isn't all that far
I hope that the german teams can catch up a little in sebring. I mean BMW had no pace in daytona compared to the other Lmdh cars. And i was not really impressed with the reliability of Porsche. But still lets hope for some good racing in sebring folks!
Your gear or your technic has improved! Great shots/framing, 7:55
Thanks! Same camera I've had for 6 years, that's just a good corner to shoot from
Great video. What camera / lens are you using?
It’s cool that both championships are here on the same weekend! It’s a little confusing remembering what’s when, but it will be great to finally see the pace of all the HyperCars at the same track.
Loving the footage. You're coming through for the fans, no doubt!
Thanks man! How ya been? Staying busy flagging?
@@LankyTurtle Oh yeah! I've been spending the last several months mostly in Homestead-Miami
@@OzKittyboi Right on, good to hear, maybe I'll see you at St. Pete or Sebring 12 if you're there
its perfect as always bro, u killed it ^^
maybe more zoom out here (7:15) but dis angle, dis plan, dis shot is already perfect but if i can put a postiv critic lol ^^
more upload bro !!!
salut ;)
Thanks Lanky, good stuff Sir!
Great shots Lanky!
Thanks Tommy Boy!
Awesome video. The quality of the film is impressive.
8:14 GT3 cars have indicators? That's literally the first time I've ever seen indicators on a track racing car. I didn't think they were ever actually needed.
Yes I'm pretty sure all of them have indicators but as you say it's really rare that they need to use them.
Turn 7, my favorite hairpin!
Mine too!
Thanks Mr. Turtle. You do excellent work!
got tickets for laguna seca with my dad, i cant wait to hear and see the gtps!!
Awesome man, should be a couple more Porsches on track by then too. Lagunas a great place, I visited there once just with Barber racing school on track
I'll be there also.
The Cadillac sounds glorious.
Those new Porsche GT3s 🔥🔥
Lanky is back
Nicely done !
That reminds me, I also need to get on with testing!
Really missing GTE/GTLM
Don't forget DPI
@@ejtamayo5317 lmdh will be better than dpi just give it time
Acura prototype sounds very sweet!
Jesus!!!! What a bumpy track !!!!! 😦😦😦😦😦🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🚘🏁🏁🍺🍺🍺
8:19...did that Lambo have a left turn signal?? lol
Yeah. Most IMSA/WEC cars have turn signals. Letting the Porsche now where he was going to go for him to pass. Also useful if they have to drive back to the garage during the race through the infield roads.
My favorite track.

@@ponanikhoza1934 racer magazine has a lot of good technical interviews. Also a quick wikipedia search will show they are different cylinder counts
The Acura sounds quite similar to the Honda F1 car off throttle/on initial acceleration
Ngl, the Acura is fast af
Here at Sebring it's probably faster because, it seems, to have a better chassis than other Lmdh
I think it’s that small little turbocharged engine can just get up on it a lot quicker than the others. Replacing the high banks of Daytona will see if I’m right.
I think the high revving na nature of the Cadillac means slightly more peaky power so the Acura has better corner exit and mid range .
they beat everyone at Daytona already. its a fast car for sure. Not surprising though since Acura was last year's IMSA champion
Hey, quick question how do you stick up your phone on top of the bridge when they're going fast?
There's gaps at the top you can stick it though if you're really tall or else you can stand on a step ladder or cooler or something. There's always spider webs up there though
The LED number at the side of the cars are car number or track position??
During a race it shows track position once the race starts but will show the car number before the start. For an officially timed test like this they would show the position in that particular session based on lap times, but might show the car number before they set a lap time. Also though it's mandatory to use them during a race I believe it's optional to use them during a test like this.
First! Thanks Lanky.
Filipe Albuquerque Acura 10⚙️🛠️🔧💻💪🍀💯🔝💪🏁
💯💯💯
For some reasons, the yellow cadillac hypercar front looks me so much of a widened Vette lol
AX Caddy had a little moment 9:09
Turn 7 ❤
These new 992 GT3 Rs don’t seem as loud as the 991.2 GT3 Rs even with the open exhaust
Are you going to be at the Prologue for WEC?
Absolutely
@@LankyTurtle I eagerly look forward to it, make sure to get plenty of the Glickenhaus and Vanwall please.
@@Dmooreslotreviews Hoping to get lots of video of the Hypercars from Prologue and Wednesday practice. I'll probably do a single car video of the Vanwall and Peugeots since I haven't seen those cars before
@@LankyTurtle awesome stuff really look forward to it
Are the testing Friday an is it open to the public?
They ran Wednesday and thursday. Track is closed but there's a few spots outside the track where you can see
João Barbosa! ⚙️🛠️🔧💻🏁🍀💯🔝👌
🍻
Was the c8 there?
No there were just 26 cars running. It was an official test but not mandatory. They usually test separately.
🤩🤩🤩🤩
Anyone knowing where i can watsh the race ,?
No corvette? Or did I just miss it?
The test wasn't mandatory so only about half the cars were there. Corvette usually tests separately. They'll be at the 12 Hour though
Well thank goodness! Appreciate it LT
Força Filipe Albuquerque
This track is so insanely bumpy it's not even funny anymore....
Ferrari
Is not really a test for the 12h
That “Ferrari” is awful and is a disgrace to the brand name
I like the caddilac more than the ferraris, looks nicer
