Also Peter I noticed that lap was a 9:45 Bridge to Gantry time not 10:10. Check the map you loaded on Harry's Lap Timer, I don't think you are using the right one for touristfahren sessions. It should end the timing at or near going under the Gantry on Döttinger Höhe.

Are you driving more laps tomorrow?

Thanks!
If you are going to take a Macan to the track definitely get track pads and better yet a GTS or Turbo with bigger calipers!

Thanks for checking that! Not bad for an SUV :-)
It looked wrong but I loaded the BTG File twice. Not sure what happened.

No more laps. strangely enough no one offered me a chance to put their Porsche GT car in the wall. I gave my card with 5 laps on it away because MRS TRAKCAR stopped believing that smoke billowing of the front brakes was just fine. I offered to buy new pads at home but the tires were also starting to grain, I made a weak effort to suggest to rent a car tomorrow but may not be with it for an hour and a half and it's all wet tomorrow after 5PM...

So we take a few days vacation and hand the car back in one piece

LOL. I once tracked our Cayenne GTS for 10 minutes. The performance was good, but there was smoke coming from the brakes for the following 10 minutes. Never again ...

I have to say the air suspension in full stiff on 21" handles awesome.
Doesn't go very fast, stops good only a lap but man i was impressed by the cornering ability!

We just arrived at a great fairy tail hotel in Heidi Land :-)

Weather: Perfect - but let's put it this way: We've got to drink beer early this evening.

As i turned out we where not alone - there where a lot of other cars there(!), unfortunately a lot of them choosed to park their cars on various places on the track at the same time so the marshals decided to call it a day a little bit too early.

Hey, I was in Andermatt three days ago. Did the Gotthard and the Furka after 6pm in the evening. Both were absolutely deserted but weather was not nice. Misty rain, windy and quite cold. I went there with the romantic vision of a sunny, blue sky and the top down on my GTS but sadly it was wet with the top up all the way. Still fun though but the Furka can be tricky in the wet on the narrow sections when pressing on. Hope you get better weather. Have fun.
