  • [car accelerating]

  • [skidding]

  • Scott Pruett There's guys that think that

  • they can win that race in turn one, turn two.

  • They run into people, they go off the track,

  • they take themselves out, they tear up their cars.

  • And this is the start of 24 hours,

  • which is just insane

  • that guys look at things this way.

  • Hi, I'm Scott Pruett.

  • 10-time in-class winner

  • and five-time overall winner

  • of the Rolex 24 at Daytona,

  • and I'm gonna take you turn by turn

  • around this incredible racetrack.

  • In this car we'll be doing -

  • in the Lexus RC F GT3,

  • we'll be rolling about 188,

  • 190 miles an hour.

  • In a prototype, we're running 210.

  • A bit faster. And then you're thinking about

  • going from 200 miles an hour

  • to about 70 miles an hour

  • going through turn one.

  • So the amount of braking is insane

  • as you head into turn one

  • in that heavy-braking area.

  • So it's absolutely incredible.

  • You get down into turn one,

  • you're going at this high rate of speed,

  • and then turn one, as you exit it,

  • you gotta think of turn one and two

  • as kind of being continual.

  • Because the way you exit turn one,

  • you're preparing yourself for turn two,

  • and they're flat out.

  • I mean, they're literally, they're -

  • you never lift once you get back to throttle,

  • your hard throttle, up into turn three.

  • This is also one of those circumstances

  • where you have to be acutely aware

  • of the guy you're passing

  • or the guy who's trying to pass you.

  • Because there's not a lot of room.

  • You're using up a lot of the racetrack,

  • and it's not uncommon to get

  • a little bit of tight quarters.

  • I mean, really tight quarters at times,

  • and that's one of those places where

  • guys have got caught up in somebody else's mistake.

  • They drop a wheel,

  • their car jumps, catches the car next to him.

  • And unfortunately takes you out of the race.

  • From there, you accelerate hard.

  • Back up to about a hundred and...

  • probably about 135, 140 miles an hour

  • as we work our way into turn three.

  • Turn three. Very straightforward, hairpin.

  • Accelerate hard coming off.

  • And, again, as we accelerate hard off it,

  • we're heading now towards what we call the kink.

  • And the kink is a very fast left-hander.

  • You need to use up the whole track.

  • Again, this is one of those areas where

  • you're gonna see incidents from time to time.

  • You're gonna see guys trying to make that move

  • where they don't really have enough room

  • because they get anxious, because they feel like

  • they have to make that pass happen.

  • The experienced guys will,

  • if they can make it,

  • and they know they can make that pass

  • without a chance of getting themselves caught up, they do.

  • These little, small, little winglets

  • and underwings and splitters, all this stuff,

  • even though we make it as durable as it can,

  • it still can be fragile if you hit someone.

  • And that's one of those circumstances where

  • you just don't wanna take any chances with your car

  • until, you know, it's money time.

  • You know, the money time is, like,

  • the last hour of the race,

  • the last 20 minutes of the race,

  • when you're trying to make it happen.

  • And if you've gotta do it then,

  • then by all means, baby,

  • you do what you gotta do to get to victory lane first.

  • Then back to left as I set up for turn five.

  • And, again, these are all turns

  • where you just have to manage the car all the time.

  • Announcer: A lot of traffic to pick your way through,

  • and this is where the top drivers earn their money.

  • Scott: I mean, literally, you can be a group of

  • 10 to 15 cars, and it's mayhem.

  • I mean, there's cars going right to left, left to right.

  • I have been here so many times,

  • I feel the racetrack.

  • Some of this timing, you actually think in your head,

  • "OK, you hit this bump, OK,

  • one, two, OK, now turn in."

  • As we continue on, exit hard.

  • You're going all the way to the left

  • as you exit turn five,

  • but you're thinking about turn six.

  • And turn six is really important

  • because this leads up onto the banking.

  • It's all about straightaway speed.

  • It's all about how fast

  • you can get up and onto the banking.

  • Especially if you're racing with a guy,

  • you wanna be able to draft,

  • get back into that area behind his car

  • where you don't have as much resistance to the wind

  • so you can slingshot out and around by him.

  • This is also a very popular place

  • to try and make a pass.

  • So, once you're up onto the banking,

  • then it's just all about hard acceleration.

  • I use up - when I come up off turn six,

  • I go all the way up to the wall,

  • and then I just gradually bring the car

  • right back down to the bottom of the racetrack.

  • When you think about the oval at Daytona,

  • you wanna make that distance as short as possible.

  • If you run around that whole oval at the top,

  • you're gonna cover, you know,

  • significantly more racetrack

  • than if you ran all the way at the bottom.

  • So you're accelerating hard,

  • you're chasing the guy in front of you

  • if there happens to be somebody in front of you,

  • but you're also watching the mirrors around you,

  • and, as you see from time to time, the prototypes,

  • the cars that are faster than this level,

  • they'll be coming by you at, you know,

  • 10, 15, 20 miles an hour faster speed.

  • So when you think about the Rolex 24

  • and you think about what goes into that,

  • it's that awareness at hour two,

  • at hour three, at hour 15, at hour 20.

  • You have to be acutely aware all the time,

  • and that's what's different than other sports -

  • baseball, football, basketball -

  • there is no time-out.

  • You see a prototype pass me on the right.

  • Hard on the brakes.

  • This is what we call the bus stop.

  • To the left. To the right.

  • To the right. Back to the left.

  • And when you're going through there,

  • it's very fast.

  • It's another one of those places where

  • you see guys get in trouble a lot.

  • When you look at a lot of the crashes

  • that happen at Daytona,

  • a lot of them happen in the bus stop.

  • It's, you know, guys try and make

  • that last-minute pass as they work their way in.

  • It's very narrow. It's difficult to get through.

  • Our guys catch a curb wrong on the inside,

  • and they'll go out into the tire barriers off to the left.

  • Again, this is one of those places

  • you have to be heads-up all the time.

  • But when I think about when I'm out there,

  • lap after lap after lap,

  • you wanna do the same thing.

  • You know, you're trying to be very focused,

  • very rhythmic, and just hitting your mark.

  • And then it's just that race

  • through NASCAR 3 and 4

  • to the start/finish.

  • But when you think about

  • the way your car moves through the air,

  • you think of it like you're driving through snow.

  • So you're pushing this air,

  • or, figuratively speaking, snow,

  • and it's having to move around your car.

  • And then as it moves around your car,

  • it has this big opening at the back.

  • And it's the same thing with air,

  • is that when you get behind a guy,

  • all of a sudden you have significantly less

  • aerodynamic drag on your car.

  • And so, when you look at this big hole

  • that's being produced by this car in front of you

  • that you're wanting to pass, you wanna slipstream up.

  • So you're, all of a sudden,

  • as soon as you get into that slipstream,

  • you're gonna start accelerating pretty aggressively,

  • as hard and as fast as you can,

  • and wait till the absolute last minute

  • to pull out and slipstream by.

  • Two reasons you do that.

  • One is you wanna be able to get past him

  • as quickly as possible.

  • And two: If you do get out there

  • and you're not running fast enough,

  • then all of a sudden you have what's called side drafting,

  • which is, when you get out on the side of him,

  • if you don't have enough momentum to get by him,

  • you'll get up about halfway and all of a sudden,

  • because of the interaction of the air

  • on the two cars side by side,

  • then it starts slowing you back down,

  • and then you just run side by side.

  • So you wanna make the pass.

  • You don't wanna run side by side.

  • So, the Rolex 24 at Daytona, for me,

  • is that race that is

  • the true match of man and machine.

  • When you look at a 24-hour race

  • and being able to go the distance

  • and make it to victory lane,

  • it's pretty awesome,

  • and it's something that is shared by that whole team.

  • But you're looking at that race as a fight.

  • You know, you're fighting the conditions,

  • you're fighting the car, you're fighting the rain,

  • you're fighting the cold, you're fighting the heat,

  • you're fighting the struggle,

  • and then when you can get to victory lane,

  • and, again, when you can get one of these,

  • one of these Rolexes that says "winner,"

  • it is something that is so cool and so awesome.

  • And is such a test of man and machine

  • that is truly incredible.

  • Aj Caldwell: Thanks for watching.
