Not sure what GTC/5/6 means.
I think the GTC4 is base 997 CUP?

^^ thanks for the CUP classification.
Tons of room now front an rear.

We will be for tuning handeling next week. The 2 open track days with David Murry are ideal for testing.
The car is the funnest, most balanced car I’ve ever driven but we think we can find a few more tenths with reducing high speed understeer.
Plan of attack is possible canards up front but we start with adding a bit of rake.
we put the car as low as it can go in front shaving the splitter, so a few clicks back up in the rear might just do the trick.

It was a good weekend at Thermal. Set a new PB on Twin Palm, 2:15.5. It was fun to watch Ben Sloss and his wife Christine in their matching 488 GT3 Ferraris. They had a 15 man pit crew and a former F1 driver as coach and car tester! He set a new amateur lap time on Twin Palm of 1:57.49, a little over second slower than his coach, former F1 driver, Andrea Montermini.
Crazy what a couple more zeros can do at the track!

Have fun with that

I didn't fight hard to get a GT3 although I've had 11 Porsches since 2001...I still cant get on my local dealers lists...nor will I pay $20-$50k mark up either. So I got a 8% off MSRP deal on the GTS and its really a fast and great car. I'm loving the 409 ft lbs of torque and 450hp from the new Turbo engine...fun stuff
looks great Mike!!

Driving Yas Marina in the fog is super trippy, and before the safety police start showing up and chomp on the key board, we called the session off shortly after the video.

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
if you figure out the Porsche Track App...PLEASE let me,know how you figured it out. I’ve tried but the entire app is out of sync of where and what I’m doing on track. Throttle Brakes Steering...all out of sync.
