Fontana is a lot of fun with good tires! I haven't driven there in a while.

Nice run! I really enjoyed watching this one! I can't wait to get out there. Gotta do a few things to the car before I put it on track, main one being new tires. But I look forward to getting it out to Autoclub sometime in the not too distant future.

Thank you!

Have you done any track events before?

Nice laps. I ran my 997.1 GT3 RS there a few years back, a little faster lap time but I was on sticky tires (Hoosier R6) and I had way too many laps around Fontana in various cars.

Is your Solo DL connected via ODB2? I haven't been able to get the brake pedal to log to the video with my SmartyCam, and I'm trying to fix my over-braking driving habit with the help of these videos, before playing with more progressive brake pads to what came stock with my PCCB 991 GT3 RS.

The AIM SoloDL and SmartyCam combo is the easy button for a 991 GT3 video recording, I use an external camera occasionally, the remote mic from the SmartyCam under the rear carpet, and the Porsche Track App is a waste of time.

Great job Alain, you have come a long ways in a short time. It was great seeing so many GT3's and RS's all in one place and a great event as always. It was fun setting my personal best Sunday morning but could not repeat in timed runs.

Great laps! I had planned on attending, but corded my Cup 2's the weekend before, and was unable to get the new Hoosiers in time.

Looks like you had a blast!

Best Regards,
Dave

Yes OBD2 and took me a min to figure it out... Originally I had it set to brake pressure and it wasn't working, so I changed it to PSI and it works perfect now.

The gearing was the toughest to figure out, have to set it up for calculated on the Aim software when you do the upload, then you have to go to the settings on the on the Solo and do the reset gearing calibration and actually drive the car around at slow speeds going through all the gears for 15 seconds each which is easily done bymanually shifting and the Solo will notify you when it is complete by showing a lap time.

I only set for 5 gears thinking i don't go past that to often, but I was actually in 6th gear on the roval so I will have to reset it for the next time I go out there.
