What my race car thinks it looks like: 850HP, fire-breathing GT1 monster.

What it actually looks like: …well, let’s just say the ego doesn’t always match the equipment. 😂

When Your Car Wants to Kill You.

David Pintaric's 850+HP GT1 monster hits 183 MPH on the front straight at Road America. And it's terrifying. David admits he should be scared of the car. But big achievements never come without overcoming fear.
This is what 850+ horsepower feels like when you're holding on at 183 mph in SCCA GT1 racing.

From paddock to podium — grassroots motorsports, raw speed, and real drivers.

A CRACKED BRAKE ROTOR. MINUTES BEFORE GREEN.

As other race cars line up to go on track, you discover a cracked brake rotor. With the green light fast approaching, the team has a race against the clock to figure out what happens next.

This is grassroots racing—where the drama doesn't always wait for the lights to go out.

There’s a different kind of beauty when the racing stops.
Your body slows down but your racer's mind is already thinking about tomorrow. Join us for two quiet laps around scenic Lime Rock Park, captured entirely from the air in stunning 4K at sunset.
The track is empty. The paddock is quiet. The light is fading over the beautiful Connecticut hills.
In this atmospheric journey, we experience Lime Rock in two different configurations — the classic layout with the Chicane, followed by the challenging Turn 5 configuration, where due to the elevation changes most cars lift off the ground.
No traffic. No crowds. No stopwatch.
Just the track, the landscape, the music, and the quiet anticipation of another race day.
Take a breath. Turn up the volume. And enjoy Lime Rock Park after hours.
