Nice work Peter! You truly were driving "flat out!". 
For reference, what are 997/991 cups running at Sebring?

Hey guys, here's a couple quick vids racing at Arizona Motorsports Park in my 2018 GT3 6spd Manual. Stock Everything, but we did add .3 Negative to the front (for negative 1.8). On the OEM Michelin Cup 2's.
Tires wore AMAZING, really happy with the tire wear. I do think I need to increase the rear camber to 'match' the front at 1.8 (it's at the factory 1.5).
While I've been racing cars competitively for 20+ years, this is my first Track day in a GT3, so I started out easy in the morning... and slowly got more and more comfortable (and impressed).
We had a few 'mechanical issues' (only related to the aftermarket turn downs I installed, to turn the exhaust away from the sound meter)...they kept 'blowing off', so depending on the lap... I was short shifting on the two straight aways to not go over on the DB limit.
The Torque is great, I was able to leave it up a gear in many turns, that in the morning I was downshifting for. The PCCB brakes were amazing all day long... 4 sessions. I swapped tires 'left to right' half way through the event, to make sure and keep even tire wear.
My best lap was a 1.42.7. I believe I would have gotten a 1.41 in the final session, but we were red flagged due to a car going off, and kicking rocks up all over the track so only was able to get in 2 laps.
The 6 speed manual is amazing, the GT3 loves the track (as most of you know). I'm looking forward to attending the next PCA event! (that won't have a sound meter
) I also turned off ESC, but left on TC... again.. just because my first time in the car on the track... I had planned to turn it off after a few laps in the last session but due to the red flag was unable to get any laps with everything completely off, next time!
These cars NEED a Harness Bar & 5 point harness minimum to be held in the seats... the 3 point belts are no where near enough! I had some challenges with the Porsche Track Precision App, but I've included a lap from both my helmet cam and the Porsche Track Precision App (Different Laps). Car pulled a maximum of 1.44 G's left & right and 1.48 G's braking, and 132 Mph top speed.

The track app; Has it been improved the last few years?
What camera do you use?
I like my VBox but looks interesting with the .2 models all coming now, GT3.2, GT2RS and GT3.2RS might be worth starting a thread again about how to use and benefit from the app.

My helmet Cam is a GoPro Hero+ and I have a GoPro 4 (depending on which one I'm using).
Absolutely in agreement there would be value to a thread dedicated to the Porsche Track App, 'when' it works... it's really really good, and the data it gives is nice. What's 'odd' is the 'android' version seems to work better/easier with my car, however the 'iphone version' actually has more information, including wheel slip, and if the car is oversteering or understeering! But I just wasn't confident I could get the iphone version to work consistently.
Looking forward to having her out again... with a bit more camber in the back... and she should be ready to rock!
Best Regards,
Dave
