hey everyone welcome to the IMSA
preview show for the Circuit of the
Americas round now listen I know as
well as anyone that sports car racing is
very much a family affair but these two
Ricky and Jordan Taylor have taken it to
a whole new level you know guys I'm
calling this show brothers in arms
literally in arms because you've done so
well this year I mean winning Daytona
winning Sebring what was that like yeah
I mean it's been a dream season to go to
Daytona and finish second so many times
that race you could do it 30 times
I've ever win and so we're trying to
think maybe it would have happened and
so we ended up winning this year and
then followed up with a winner Sebring
21 years of the day after dad did it I
was an amazing feeling and also on
cadillac debut you was a dream
come true
talk about Cota we come off the original
the iconic Daytona Speedway then we go
to Sebring which is known as much
variance bumps than the infield as
anything else
Long Beach of course a street race but
when he goes to Circuit of the Americas for me
it is that it is the pinnacle of Formula
One style racing yeah I mean we're lucky
in the WeatherTech championship that we
get to go to all the best tracks in
America Cota is top of the line in
the latest technology the secrets of
corners there it's very fun of the
driver and it makes the racing really
exciting it is weird the first time you
come through you got to turn two and then
just see an ocean of asphalt you kind of
have to find your way through there what
it is it's beautiful though at the same
time because you go with different
colors of you know the Texas flag and
the American flag and it's a great
sequence of corners from 2 all the way
to the back straight were if you messed
up turn three and four you know it's going
to mess up turn eight and nine so the
technical track is difficult for drivers
but all super entity of the south car
you understand as the new generation of
drivers they really have got the grips
with the fact that we have to connect
with people right it's all about our
interaction with the fan base outside of
the television broker and what you guys
do on social media is I think taking it
to another you guys really have to check
it out
hey Adam my family home and my family
home
yeah yeah it baby-faced love but the
dog get involved
one lady contacted me about the
elliptical Olympics
yeah yeah the lady at my gym is hardcore on the
elliptical and I'm video it and
commentated it we've gone to the invisible
punching bag the invisible punching bag
is a 7.25 score the marching man she's
on a marching man that one looked been
the viral and I don't know many NASCAR
drivers but I went to mines the last
week of pretty much everything after
driver had seen the video and I pretty
much knew them through the elliptical video
and of course the Jeff Gordon
fans
that's another one Rodney Sandstorm has
done well for himself all right
between teammates in general
there's a lot of competition a lot of
analysis now because the data to think
that's a little rev up because
you're brothers I mean full access to
data
I mean yes or no I mean you know it's
in sports cars the guy you want to beat is your teammate that
you always want to be faster than your teammate but for us
you know we are brothers and we want to beat
each other but at the same time it's a
team first and you want to win at a team
so we can take our egos out of it
and work together and you know week he
can be fast and I'll be faster when we can all be
faster and the engineers can use that
and we say you know we don't care if you
want him to finish early finish you know
we don't mind from the ego side he so
it changes every weekend before we go
prediction but your team going into
Cota how do you think the team will do there
we've had a great history of Cota we've
won their last year we're in a second
year before and I think going with the
new Cadillac really suits that style of
fast flowing racetracks
and the big thing for us this year has
been execution on pit stops and and not
making the safe nothing at that
racetrack there is a lot of overtaking
which you can't say about other tracks
like Long Beach and you know some of the
tighter places so it really allows us to
go racing so I think we have a good shot
well thanks very much for watching that
