GTTT footage on Jalopnik



In case you haven't noticed, the GTTT is one of my favorite cars to blog about. My most recent post was about the GTTT's appearance at the local road course. While I took pictures, others shot video. A friend of mine, Carl, uploaded his video to YouTube (embedded above). About a week later, Jalopnik.com stumbled across the poorly-shot footage and posted it.

A few of the comments following the Jalopnik post criticize the driving in this clip, but the keys to the GTTT aren't going to be handed over to just anyone. The driver during this clip is no stranger to high-horsepower cars, even though he overshot the 120-degree right-hander after the straight. It happens to the best of us. This is obviously a small track, way too small for cars with this much power to be able to really stretch their legs, but why not have some fun anyway. Seeing and hearing a pair of twin turbocharged Ford GTs was an experience that doesn't happen every weekend at your local track. You can even see yours truly in the white hat at the 1:27 mark, taking a break from pictures.
