As much as I love cars and as much as I love track days, I can't stand watching someone else race, I find it tedious and boring...

This kept my attention for the whole 23+ minutes - absolutely epic driving from this guy!

Just watched him get from 25th to 10th. He is a very good driver. So far he has Overtaken a lot of people who are not driving at the limit.

Ive not done any track days but that is impressive.

Im suprised how well they held out during the crash. Seemed like a high speed collision yet very little damage.

I was quite shocked to see him purposley rear ending a few of them on the main straight though, not sure if this is the norm but seems a bit dangerous considering the speeds they are doing?

Pass 12 > 11, why did the driver wave him through?

Around 4 minutes in.

That seemed like bump drafting, he was pushing the car in front to go faster so he could go faster himself. It happens a lot in NASCAR.

That was brilliant. Really good stuff! Surprised in how mobile those cars are under braking/steering inputs etc. Curious to what the spec of these cars are!

Had seen #12 gaining quickly on him and didn't want to risk a crash trying to hold him off, there was something wrong with his car, the camera car driver was using jedi mind tricks to gain positions.

There was no defensive driving, most opened the door and let him past.
Not convinced.
Now the race where Senna took the lead after 1 lap, that was impressive

Cars and track look really good. Car is apparently available from $27,500, so just over £16k.
