In anticipation of the first race of the IMSA calendar, we’ve been trawling videos from last year, including this 20-minute belter of an onboard, riding with Renger Van Der Zande at the wheel of the yellow Cadillac V-Series.R.
It all starts off rather serenely as we sit patiently during a pitstop, but then, a word of warning to any headphone users around the 40-second mark, that massive 5.5-litre, naturally aspirated V8 booms into life.
From then on it's all about making progress, and Van Der Zande in the big Cadi absolutely scythes through the traffic, up on the banking, through the chicanes and around the infield. The difference in pace between this GTP monster and the GT cars is profound and definitely juxtaposed with the guttural sound of a good old-fashioned monster V8.
It’s almost hypnotic, watching the lights dance past, glazing over the V-Series.R's yellow paint and carbon dashboard. You can see how the drivers just get into a trance, dig in and crack on. We can’t wait to watch it all over again this weekend for the 2024 Daytona 24 hours.
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day. Watch the last video: The finish of the 2016 Daytona 24 was nuts
