Noises.
The car did a couple of laps and parked.
Another view of that lap and also me in the background making the video above. https://twitter.com/AndrejevAlex/status/1328424947430154241

Outlap for another run.
This probably best represents what O am hearing in person right now.
Both cars on track now.
The two cars that are testing today.
Per NASCAR, the black car was built by Action Express and has @MartinTruex_Jr behind the wheel. The blue car is the “P3” car prepared by RCR/NASCAR and has @KurtBusch behind the wheel. https://twitter.com/Victor_Vallee/status/1328431391185526784
Based on what I can tell from the sound and what I’ve heard about the car in the past, each bank of cylinders has an independent outlet so the two branches don’t meet like in the current car. https://twitter.com/jsmith_48/status/1328429614037950464
Probably just how it was assembled for now. Those are there to help evacuate heat from the exhaust pipes. https://twitter.com/javierh0309/status/1328424447104090113
We have @KurtBusch heading back out again.
Laps look to be right around the 84 second range per my rough measurements.
There are lights under there and lots of measuring equipment on the car.. Likely lasers for ride height or another similar measurement. https://twitter.com/terrycaton4/status/1328439872307212294
. @KurtBusch rolling back in now.
The closest I’ve gotten to the car so far.

View of the car from the bridge.
Video from the same spot.
Looks pretty symmetrical. https://twitter.com/bradxperez/status/1328447781703462913
Video from the side.
According to @KurtBusch the car is somewhere between the 550hp and 750hp figure but not either one specifically at this time. https://twitter.com/bozitatarevic/status/1328442201647570948
On the current call, @KurtBusch just called it a split exhaust. https://twitter.com/BoziTatarevic/status/1328433096526532609?s=20
Regarding my earlier prediction about the shock supplier.
The car shoots flames on the downshift into turn 1.
Downshift.
A closer look at the car from @KurtBusch. https://twitter.com/kurtbusch/status/1328458916372635648
Definietly looks like a flat floor underneath.
Yes. I laid on the ground from a safe distance to get these pictures.
Rear view from ground level.
Other car in now too after it’s longest run of the day.
I need to get an actual camera and just use my phone for this stuff cause it looks so cool in person.
Shooting flames under the lights.
Night time bridge view.
These would look cool with some LED strips.
That will do it for today. Need to process everything I saw and put it into a proper story.
Looking through pictures and videos can provide a lot of info but being able to watch and listen to a car is even more helpful.
