Default Race Car Passenger-Cam

Ever wonder what it's like to ride along as a passenger in a race car? Mike Makara used his p&s camera to video his ride while sitting in the jump seat of the ESX Subaru STi World Challenge GT race car. This was his experience...

Sweet video. Of course that car has a turbo, its an STI! Definitely cool to see a suby in World Speed GT! Hehe...I love the passenger telling Gary that he has the coolest job ever.

I saw that beast at LBGP 2 years ago. When it would spool, it sounded like the turbo came straight out of a Lear jet. The sound was incredible as was the speed.

Sick car. On the site I watched the 05 car in the LBGP looked like it was down on power compared to the rest of the field. Hope you have more in store for this year. Good Luck
