Walking around the IMSA paddock with a sports car legend like Patrick Long is an exercise in fascinating patience, as he interacts with fans, former teammates, and colleagues effortlessly. Long’s presence evokes the golden era of sports car racing and showcases how the sport has evolved since his retirement. Despite the advancements in technology and the rise of younger drivers, Long believes that wisdom versus knowledge still remains crucial for a driver’s career. As we explored the differences between driving modern GTD and GTP cars, Long provided insights into the complexities of each and highlighted the technological advancements in GT3 cars. The operations surrounding a modern race team, even for a customer GT3 car, require a full-time engineering staff to optimize performance and monitor the car’s health throughout the weekend.
