With passenger at Spa, 2.38TBL.
2:40 is a s good as it got but found over a second after I ran a 2:40, then I was on predictable time of 2:39 and we ran out of gas. Limped to gas station and the car still had 9L in it!

My last session before the snow...

Maybe tomorrow I can get to 1:38, TBL is 1:38, but that was with passenger.
I found time after my couple of 2:40's but then we ran into traffic, out of gas (See end of video) or into the snow LOL...
Cant make it up!

We’re gonna start with a snow man and progress with an Iglo after that.

On tracks from the US West Coast to the East Coast, every 100 lbs I have removed from my GT3s have given me around 0.5s better lap times per every 60 secs on the track. This has been the case with my 996, 997, 991s.

A 200 lbs coach at Sebring cost me 2.5secs, we lapped together for 3 sessions, then off I went for a last session and times dropped by 2.5s.

I don't like how Racelogic (and most data acquistions) join the segments to present a TBL or Ideal lap, as you cannot connect all the best segments, given the car position, so I try to set the segments in the middle of long straights.

The new Cup2R seems to build about another 1 second per minute on the track compared to the Cup2, your data shows a solid 2:39 is possible in your car with your current driving skills without the Cup2R and with a passenger.

On a solo lap and Cup2R, your car could be doing 2:33-2:34s, no idea if that's fast at Spa, or what enthusiasts and amateur drivers are doing in anything from a 1998 996.1 GT3 to a 2019 GT2RS.

Awesome driving!!!

This is such an awesome trip... Chances are this car will never see snow again under your ownership

You are living the life, Peter. Or more accurately, the life I want to live!

We were stuck in 2:40’s after the track got dry.
Car got loose.
The last shop screwed us over with old N0
4 sessions at Spa and corded.

Next service stop we put the rears on -2.5...
