Watched the Caymen race at 48hrs this weekend but never heard official results. Anyone know how it did in the sprint and/or enduro?

The car will be fast once Ernie gets it dialed in. It gave up a little to my car in and the USA Cups in the straights, but will be able to easily out corner our semi-trailing arm suspensions, especially at bumpy tracks like Sebring.

Anyone know the details on the the wheels and tires used? Look like Kinesis wheels. What sizes? What sizes of tires and brand???

Thanks in advance!

 

Ernie was running 245/285 Hoosiers, custom cage, some form of boxster headers (S car go?), and a different front bumper (well it was the stock one with cut out the fog lights and mesh grills).

I'm sure you could call him for more details (www.mantisracing.com)

 

I followed the Cayman around for a few laps. I didn' thtink it was slow in the straight, in fact I thought it pulled me just slightly. I had no problem out braking it though. I think the car can be a winner, but just needs to be raced more. I was impressed with the level of prep, for such a limited amount of time available before the race. Very nice car.

That little Cayman was cooking at the 48 hours!!

 

One other thing I noticed with it was a persistant amount of oil smoke coming from the exhaust in a few corners. Not sure what that was about, maybe some blow by, but it looked bothersome. Sure wish Porsche made these with a LSD and dry sump.

 

Oil injestion and burning?

It is a dry sump engine, isn't it?

 

I only wish it was a dry sump! "Integrated dry sump" as Porsche calls it is NOT a true dry sump.
