Night time racing for now.

The other Toyota, and other teams must have onboard video as well, look around.

Mickey, Paul Di Resta is racing today..!

EDIT; <giggle> it is not that often that you get to pass a Ferrari and an Aston Martin on a race track, within two minutes!

Thanks amigo!
I had not realized that 24 heures du Mans was this weekend!

Funny to see corner workers, here and there, waving blue flags in the middle of the night!
What a work shift.

I guess it is a back-up for the (automated?) electric race control panels?

#7 happens to be leading the race!
This is awesome!

There is (or was) a yellow-flag sector just now, and it was fun to listen to the lead car just rolling at low speed, and THEN accelerate through the gears!

I've never heard a Toyota that sounded like these do!

Put a fart can on a Sienna and you come close.

I've never heard a Toyota hybrid that sounded like these do!

FTFY.

These in-car cams are the exact reason I want an I-Racing sim cabinet in my house. I'll never get to run around those tracks in that equipment in real life - but I've done enough virtual laps around that track to know it pretty well. Those quick chicanes after long high speed straightaways are damned tricky to nail consistently.

Keeping concentration up long enough to turn fast laps in a simulator over long periods of time is hard enough without actually betting your own physical and metaphorical ass on your ability to do so.

Will this work on my Tacoma?

That reminds me of a French action movie where an old delivery truck had been fitted with a huge motor for the purpose of a given quick getaway type scene. The joke was that the crew would take the truck on city streets and do roaring red lights starts, leaving bystanders speechless!
