The Spirit of Daytona DP was the class of the field at VIR in 2011

The Spirit of Daytona DP was the class of the field at VIR in 2011 – and would be laughably off the pace against the GTs that will line up there this week. Image by Marshall Pruett

In the battle between time and technology at VIR, Taylor’s GTLM machine wins by nearly 15 seconds per lap over the old Grand-Am Camaro.

“Now the GTLM cars are so well developed and have come such a long way from a mechanical grip point of view and aerodynamics for a GT car, it’s like night and day from the Camaro Bill and I raced,” he said. “The amount of downforce we have now is significant, and probably the biggest part is the tire developments, especially with Michelin being able to customize their tire for each car. The grip and consistency we get now is mind boggling. And that was the biggest adjustment I had to make.”
