 Hello and welcome back here to the channel for another Driver Spotlight, another ESDA 2021 car, a very Joker style paint scheme if I do say so myself. So we're going to be doing this S15 here for today's episode. We are at ESDA Daytona, so make sure you guys follow me on all social media, all that you found in the description box below. So when I say Joker-esque theme, it's the purple and the greens. Definitely a very aggressive style livery. I definitely love the purple tail lights, the energy innovations logos, of course, hex mod and all that on there. And so this was brought by Kona O'Brien. He gave me access to his 2021 ESDA S15 and this car is aggressive. It's over a thousand horsepower. For purposes of running Daytona, I bumped it down to about 60 boost pressure. This car is crazy. And if you know, you know, NRG being a sponsor of the channel for a very long time, you can see all the NRG things on the driver's suit in the back panel on the back of the vehicle and everywhere. So big, you know, thank you to him for allowing me access to his 2021 ESDA car. A lot of people coming up with their new pro cars along, giving me the chance to do these driver spotlights, which I know you guys are actually loving. And I love driving all these cars. So we're going to go full scent here at Daytona road course. Of course, we're going to bump this thing up to 100% boost at Irwindale and go over the thousand horsepower, which this car has. So let's just go full scent. So something a little bit different for today's episode, if you guys know, is in the bottom right, we do have my Sim Hub set up so you guys can actually see the gear I'm in and things of that nature, which I don't know why I don't have her head up before. So we got to warm up these tires, which I got to get my tire, you know, temperature up because these tires are completely cold. Like I said, we are at 60% boost for the purpose of running here at Daytona. So we got to just try and heat up these Achilles radials on this car before we go into the first wall because I've done that before. Because remember I did another S15 here, and that was the Vitana Mattis, and I went hard into the wall. So don't want to do that again. You know, these people are giving me access to their cars. So once I get a big tank into them, we're going to run out of gas. So we should probably get a run. Tires are not fully warm, but full scent anyway. Fourth gear throw. Kind of a not bad initiation out to the zone. Quick grab of the handbrake there. Throw angle a little bit over the yellow line. You don't want to be there, but kind of bring it back towards the end. I'm going to punch it that cone, but for a first run out in this car, I did take one lap just to see the power band, and this car is insane with power. So that's why we are down to about 60% for the purpose of this track. And I'm impressed. Like I said, I do like the purple tail light tints and things that make this a very schemed car. It definitely looks amazing. Sounds great. And yeah, see if we can get another full pull here. Got dogs cheering me on in the background. Oh, I thought we were going to smack our winglet, but we managed to not smack the winglet. That's kind of where I wanted to be more, kind of on the yellow line. We were taking out those cones, but we were kind of right there on the yellow line. It was going to drift a little high. Dirty handbrake grab. Two tires off. That probably would have not been a very good run, but we managed to not wreck the car. So like I said, definitely like the scheme. It's matching my, you know, sim wheel from NRG Innovations with all the purple neocrone going on my setup. So we're going to go one more run here, and we probably will bump at the boost to 100 on this track before we head to Irwindale. What's here? Charter flick than I anticipated. Oh, and there's the wall. I knew it was going to happen at least once. We're going to smack the wall. So let's bump it up to 100. And you can see the difference in just doing the burnout is insane. There's going to be a lot of clutch kicking and a lot of red line, probably fifth gear red line, maybe six. Let's go out. One more attempt. Go ahead. Oh, we're already lighting them up. Oh, you can tell the difference in power that this car has when you pump it up to 100 percent. And I'm not sure I can handle that thousand horsepower here on Daytona course, maybe not the best choice, but the advantage of having adjustable boost is you can do that. So we're going to go load up at Irwindale because I feel like this car needs to stretch its legs at Irwindale. So I'll meet you when we grid. So we're going to go full send a thousand horsepower here on Irwindale. Big thank you to Kona O'Brien again for giving me access to his 2021 ESDAS 15. I'm definitely enjoying driving all these leading up here to FD this weekend. Super excited. Rotolander round one, all the liveries are starting to come out of the woodworks. So definitely excited to see all the new cars, all the new bills, all the new liveries and definitely excited to see what the, you know, tale of the first round brings. I will be watching it for Friday and Saturday and definitely excited for FD weekends again. So we've got a big special driver spotlight for Friday. So make sure you guys come back to the channel tomorrow and Friday for some more driver spotlights with some other cars and a big thing on Friday. So let's full send thousand horsepower S15 probably just here managing the bank and then started to drift up a little bit. I should have put more gas in this car. This car looks like we can run six. Oh, not off the bank. Sorry. Sorry to kind of wreck the car. We definitely need to up our gas if we want to run more than two runs. So we're just going to coast our way back to the start line because, well, limited on fuel. So we're going to try six gear on the bank because it looks like this car can tackle six gear, which is insane to me to think that this car can be six gear on the bank, but one way to find out. If you guys think it'll make it, make sure you tap a like button on this video and you subscribe if you're not subscribed. We appreciate all the support. Yep, we can rip six gear on the bank. Can't see where I'm going. We're good. Downshift to fifth though on the inner bank. Kind of laxed on that transition, but a full pull nonetheless. We can manage the bump. A full pull nonetheless in this 15, this 776 car. This is very, very challenging of a car with the power. The turbo lag is very pronounced and that's something I'm not very familiar with driving. I've always driven cars that are very linear power such as my HCCZ, which is a lesson, things of that nature. So, driving boosted cars is definitely something new to me that I'm getting more and more comfortable with. One more final send for this episode. Can you go high angle or try to at least if we don't run out of gas. That transition was not as laxed, but we're not as close to the walls as I'd like to be. Massage it up a little bit. About the second hash there. So, I hope you guys enjoyed these driver spotlight episodes leading up to FD Run 1. Super excited for it. Make sure you guys follow me on social media, all of which are on the description box below and I hope you guys enjoy it and I hope you come back for another one because we're on a fuel on this car. So, as always, I thank you guys for coming back. I'll see you guys on the track.
