Couldn't agree more! Best start to any day...

No matter, you'll still be able to get full lap times on Circuit tools program

Found quite a bit of time after this lap in the morning. A little less hesitant on throttle and earlier off the brakes..

Video, or it didn't happen..

Ran a few low 7:30, one 7:29 but for some reason it showed on display but not in Racelogic because it can’t get satellites all the time, so missing some segments.

Still finding some time here and there but tires going off fast, I keep thinking the Will cord next laps but they aren’t yet.

Gearbox oil.

Initially official Porsche bulletin says its normal for hot track use.
”Clean and continue”

Hard to believe, because the car is covered in oil.
So they put it on the lift at Manthey and we will see if this is really normal?

Officially documented.
”It’s normal at the Nordschleife on hot days, clean it and keep going”
Okiedokie then, 5 more days at the Ring so they may need to mount a vat of gearbox oil in the car..

Interesting...You've never seen that on Mr. Purple at Sebring have you?...nothing hotter then Sebring!

When they say "Gearbox Oil"...is that PDK or rear diff oil? I'm a little lost on this....
