GT3RS chasing GT3RS with Chris Harris at Sebring
I'm in NYC last week with my wife scoring some important points to be able to continue my track addiction when I get a call from Gavin Richy if it is OK to borrow my car at Sebring for Chris harris to drive it and to compare it to a stock GT3RS MKI and a modified GT3RS. They will be there Fri - Sat - Sun.
They want to test shocks that Gavin sells and Chris Harris want to drive Sebring. I tell him I can't be there because I am not flying him till Saturday night. I suggest he call Izzone with his GT3RS, same car as mine, ex Mooty. As soon as I hang up, I start thinking if it is really impossible..I'm a huge fan of Chris Harris and I start downloading Youtubes of his Evo articles and mostly his GT3RS test and his run in it at the 24H of the NRing finishing 13th. overall beating many CUP cars. I send a few Text messages to Orbit and my brother, ask for some help to get my car and track wheels in the right place. I land at Palm Beach at 5:45, by 8PM, my car is loaded and sitting on the BBS with RA1's :-). I get up at 4 AM and I am in Sebring, parked in the pit by 7AM. It was very hot (94F) so laptimes were slow; 2:24's and 2:25's but I shook hands and said hello to Chris Harris. My day is made. He mentioned that Sebring was an ideal place to test road cars Both Izzone and Mjenk12 hand Chris Harris the keys to their cars I jump in with ATLFahrer as passenger and follow Chris Harris in Mjenk12's car around for a few laps. He was very fast out of the pit and clocked a 2:24 even on his first clean lap!! I will post the video later here.
