Ride along for a telemetry-rich but pixel-poor series of laps of Buttonwillow CW13 in Ford Performance GT MK II #002. This session was testing an updated aero package for the MK II which greatly increases front downforce, making the car less forgiving but faster in medium- and high-speed corners. While traffic prevented a hero laptime, the updated aero made for faster mid corner speeds and quicker sector times.
The 1:41 lap begins at 1:50 . And apologies for the low video resolution, telemetry cameras are several generations behind the latest GoPro's but the value of seeing the inputs and speeds made this a useful video to share.
