Default Couple of videos from our local Porsche club meet.

The first video is from inside my car chasing Sean aka JET951s beautiful black '86 around the short (50sec) circuit at Oran Park in Sydney. We're pretty close for a while but I have a few 'moments' and Sean gets ahead a little. Nice driving by Sean too. We both broke our best times yesterday and finished in the mid 49sec region. So that was good. It's actually a tough little track with some walls getting very close. Too close for a couple of guys yesterday.
Sean has a Vitesse stage 3 and I have a stage 5, both on stock 2.5L motors.

The 2nd one is Sean filming me from the grandstand. Hand held so don't watch this is your hungover lol. I'm up against a really nicely turned out 968CS that has a few RS Barn bits and pieces plus full cage etc. Well sorted car and he's really quick through the twisty bits. See the nice side effects of E85 at the end. haha.

Nice driving! Patrick, your car has KW's, no? Also, what tire widths are you running? That Vitesse Stg V seems to do just fine on a 2.5L even on that tight course.

Yeah it's pretty shakey but still fun to see, specially the flames haha

I think Tom 'only' got into the 48s with his 996 GT3 so we're putting the squeeze on the big boys.

Rod beat us both in the Evo though.

Yep KWs. I had them on too soft a setting so we stiffened them up in the fronts. One tyre was underinflated too and I think that's why you see me sliding about a bit and losing ground to Sean. In the 2nd video we had fixed those things and the car was going better.
Wheels / tyres are 18x9.5" f 18x10" r Toyo R888 255/35 f 285/80 r.
