My .1RS stopped using oil around 16,000 miles, must be the expert break in LOL.
My .2 blew a big blue cloud at the last startup at 300 miles. Hadn’t been driven for 2 weeks before that.

I made one adjustment to the car: Moved the rear sway bar setting to stiff.
Stock alignment
Stock cup2 tires
Rear wing set to max aero
AP calipers/rotors running Ferodo DS1.11 pads

I was able to get a new best of 1:34.8 in the car. Simply amazing that basically a factory stock street car can do this. I'm hoping Pobst does a lap in the car later this year. I'm calling low 1:33. Let's see if I'm right.

Great lap. You are flying out there. Within a couple seconds of Pobst probably. I hope they include the GT3 in Motor Trend's Best Drivers car this year.

My new .1 engine does not burn much - about 1 notch or 1/8 of a small can per 2 days, as opposed to almost 1/4 of a can per day on the previous one.

New .2 engine doesn't burn anything at all. Like the GT4.

Thanks, man.
Hoping they do as well. I wonder if they'll test the manual or pdk. I also wonder if they will test the RS too.

Tell us more about your Solo DL 2 set up.

How did you wire into the canbus? Any issues with the wireless transfer of data?

I don't have the solo DL2. Just the original solo DL. That was 911therapy that posted the pic of his solo2. I'm currently using OBD2, not CAN. In the .1, you could get all the channels you needed through obd2. Unfortunately, in the .2, you cannot get brake pressure. So, you need to wire into CAN to get all the channels. I will do this when I get my RS.

I was hoping Randy would test Touring, GT3 manual, and GT3 PDK.
