Lou & Co finished 8th in their GT2 category at this past weekend's race in Florida, primarily due to a malfunctioning wheel speed sensor that forced them to take the traction control system offline. As you can see in the video, when they're really able to get the hammer down in a straight line they have the power and braking to overtake Ferraris (5:15), but coming out of corners without traction control (especially the kinks, turns 3 and 9a according to Lou) makes it very difficult to even keep up (1:30). Even with the TC, Lou doesn't think they'll be as fast as the front of the GT2 pack until Kumho gets the tire compound worked out - the race in Utah will be a new tire compound.

We also asked Lou about the car and he said the new Cobalt brakes were great and that the overheating issue from Sebring was solved by reducing compression slightly.

Being the second time this car has raced this is not at all a shot at Lou and the team at Riley Technologies, but this really shows how well the Pratt & Miller team prepares the GT1 cars for every race. Other than the occasional drivetrain explosion, the cars are incredibly reliable.
