Default GT3RS at Nardo ... I broke the cameraman

Poor cameraman. Even my co-driver has tossed his cookies a couple times in his career (not with me).

But what fun.

The new Porsche GT3RS tagline - "Breaks cameramen fast"

or "The new GT3RS - what did YOU have for lunch?"

Maybe Porsche could forge a sponsorship relationship with GlaxoSmithKline, manufacturer of Zofran, the best anti-emetic.

Don't forget to get the 0$ optional footwell netting on your GT3RS to hold a supply of 'airsickness bags'.

Zyrtec the night before is much better than a post anti-emetic.
wish I had given it to more than one first time track co-pilot!!

My rally co-driver now wears a bonine patch. We have chatted about approaching them for sponsorship.

Not heard of using an anti-histamine as a prophylactic for motion sickness. Interesting. Might simply be the sedating properties.

People who have allergy-induced sinusitis and have subsequent vertigo and motion sensitivity might benefit from a histamine-antagonist like Zyrtec, but normal folks without allergies haven't been shown in prospective trials to benefit for pure motion sickness, but if you have had success, it's nice to be an outlier.

A good joint will settle the nausea - after you drive or you will be going to slow with the lights on

It can be. Another frequent cause as people age is Benign Positional Vertigo.

I cured my sister's long-time (non-vertiginous) motion sickness by taking her for a ride down Mulholland in my 993C4S years ago. Strangest thing - it resolved during the ride. She did have an element of allergic sinusitis that probably predisposed her to motion-sickness and would have been a good candidate for Zyrtec, but got better!

Are you saying you were feeling a bit "down under" the weather?

I don't go around prescribing "three monster bong hits" TID, but tetrahydrocannabinol is a pretty strong anti-emetic, JD, is right. Pre-drive? Bad Idea Jeans. Leave that to Cheech and Chong.

neuro - the weather is beautiful here! 26 degrees celcius and sunny.

thanks for the info, will pursue it further.
i don't get motion sickness, just vertigo when in plane or high up balconies or buildings.
