Heres new video of it running laps at YasMarina. The new turbo sound is really cool, before they were almost silent.

I would normally be so excited to see these at Sebring and Road Atlanta but thanks to TUDOR USCR, I won't be seeing them anywhere near the east coast of the United States.

I don't think we understand how fast those cars are.

Watching the HPD and Lola-Toyota at Laguna was crazy, the sound, the speed... And those aren't nearly as quick as the factory cars

It's like Formula 1 cars. I just cannot fathom how fast they are, and how fast you have to drive them so they will function.

Do we know hoe complete it is? My first thought with the louder noise is that it might not be completely done yet.

Why can't they make the TDIs sound as good?

Saw them at COTA in ATX. Very quiet last year. This is very different! Come see them in Austin Think WEC race is in Sept again.

As I am a student located in SC, Road Atlanta and Sebring are much more affordable than COTA. As much as I'd like to experience the WEC running there, it's essentially cost prohibitive.
