Default DE issues with 991 GT3

If anyone has experienced an annoying sound created by air entering through open windows while driving at a good pace at HPDE, have you found a solution? I have only experienced this sound before when driving an SUV with only the back windows open.

What psi for Michellin sport cup 2's at DE events?

Wind buffeting? AWE makes some little carbon deflectors that solve this.

I just installed the Blackmill kit from Fabspeed - looks good and corrected the buffeting issue

My finds are the following:

2 windows down, 2 persons in the car : Not that bad
2 windows down, alone, getting more buffeting
1 window down, alone, the worst

I did ordered the AWE parts... still waiting for it......

while they are an improvement, over 100 mph with both windows down there is still alot of buffeting with those little deflectors. i raise each window about an inch...that helps too

Great recommendation! The Blackmill wind deflectors sold by Fabspeed work like a charm. Wind buffeting gone.

Leaving the windows up 1"-1.5" helps a good bit.
