 Good morning everyone, we are first day morning at Long Beach. I don't have my motorhome so I'm in my auto room and gonna get to do some DHL visit this morning, one for the retailer and another one with some people that are coming to our shop and then back to the track, track walk What's the weather doing like? Yeah, decent view. Race track is just around there. Oh actually the race track is here on the right hand side where the coons are. It's a bit gray, it's a bit fresh in California That's gonna be a good day. Here we are just finished DHL event It's raining in California and actually raining a lot and it's very cold Quite funny heading back to Long Beach now, but that was fun to meet to meet a lot of fans that came out. Here we go getting to the paddock with downtown car park behind me track in front of me I'm gonna sneak to the paddock Engine meeting and then track walk. I'm gonna take you through the lap I'll show you some of the cool stuff around Long Beach. I guess I did pretty well last year So I know some cool stuff and I'll try to explain to you what we look for and what the difference is and What's good in Long Beach? This turn is pretty fun to aim It's pretty tight so you change a bit inside But yeah, you really want to put your your wheel there on the apex. That's where the grip is and it's pretty tight on the exit as well It's gonna be five and six I believe. Five here. Still gonna get cornered pretty fast Opens a bit on exit and then I'll show you the next one which is a tricky one Here we go next right corner questions always being do we use the inside curb or not? Now you can actually see there's a lot of Banking negative banking and exit so the car wants to slide but there's your apex There's your exit very wide exit, but very off camber It's turn eight Turn eight. No, six. No, that's eight. Eight's down there. No, that's six and eight. Nine over there. Ten, eleven. Well, this is the corner And they change a bit the wall. I mean we can't really see the exit The wall has been moved a bit far on the outside. There's a new There's a lot of cars as well, but there's a new thing on the outside Hello, that's a photographer New tarmac right here. So we go from one on entry to Concrete to tarmac. Last section of the lap if you know Long Beach, you know that part Very grippy here. It's very slippery down there where the drift cars are going So we absolutely don't want to go to one on that exit And then the next one is actually pretty fun and difficult to find the right balance Long Beach, Erpin Come here Get your apex right here And off you go for a very very long straight line So here we are end of day one. It's been a long day I'm for instance with DHR. I'm going to be honest a three hours time difference with Miami a bit painful Going now to Media dinner with the team Actually walking over the paddock.
