Default RCF GT at Laguna Seca

I was at the IMSA race at Laguna Seca this weekend and saw these cars in person for the first time. Here are some of the pictures I took.

I went to this, too. Couldn't pass this event up. It was incredible seeing these cars race live, in the flesh. Great pics!

Great pics. But for me watching the 3GT team race is like watching the Chargers play. Great 1st half but blow it in the 2nd.The teams to watch are Emil Frey and Farnbacher racing teams in Europe which are also racing the RCF GT3. This season is also their first in GT racing and already have 1st place wins and double podium finishes. I am willing to put money that the US team will never get a podium finish. And the Europe teams are racing in the same class of cars. End rant..lol

It was really nice to see and hear these cars go around the track. Sadly, these RCF GT's were the quietest and lowest as far as exhaust sound and note go. The turbo sixes were just screaming and loud!

Awesome pics! Would love to have one as a daily driver but don't think the car would survive on normal roads, let alone going in/out of my driveway...haha.

Thanks for sharing...that must have been a blast to watch.

According to my shop owner those cars will be in my hometown next week...stopping through to do some testing and promotional stuff.

I should get a chance to see them up close and hear them...cannot wait!
