Road Atlanta, Lights Out - What Renger Van Der Zande Would Have (Not) Seen
In 2024, Dutch racing driver Renger Van Der Zande piloted the #01 Cadillac V-Series.R LMDh race car to a win at the IMSA Petit Le Mans season finale held at Michelin RaceWay Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia... With no headlights for a good portion of his final lap.
T1 through T5 at Road Atlanta is challenging in full sun. It's mega difficult at night under the guidance of bright headlights, and it's the stuff of nightmares in a full lights out scenario.
With this final push, RVDZ demonstrates one of the all time great drives to the win.
In this video, I show you what that treacherous stretch of asphalt would look like with no lights, but at a slightly slower pace.
