Nice piece of driving! Anyone challenge you and if so what type of car?
Love the track! Allows for speed with wide open bailout areas.
No, no one did. That is why I love this track, safety. I don't have a 6 point restraint or Hans and I drive this car back and forth to track, so chances of major damage is lower than average. The fact that the runoffs are aplenty makes pushing the envelop easier.

It was somewhat unusual. This was the first session of the weekend and we only had 8-10 cars in the white group. Later on, there where more cars as drivers where getting check rides and instructors where showing students the line.

Great driving, Sam, and awesome lap time! You are booking out there. I'm surprised how potent the "base" 991 GT3 is turning out to be with 475hp. Very capable car and obviously good driver make for a strong combo!

Also, if you're interested, I have a buddy who lives near you that could overlay your Solo DL data onto your video. He's done a few of my fast lap vids recently and it's a lot of fun to see speed/rpm/lateral g/ longitudinal g, etc overlaid on the video.

Thanks, that would be awesome because I never thought I could do that with the GoPro. Feel free to give him my contact info. Also, since I'm a Mac user, it's a pain to get the AIM data and its becoming an expensive lap timer. Speaking of G-forces, the car (like the other 991 variants is a bit too generous in it's G reads. In the other two cars, I would get 1.48 G as max but the AIM would read 1.3 (trail breaking). I am yet to review my actual Gs and compare them to those from yesterday:

Excellent, and nice driving. thx for posting. Sounds like the tires last long time. Hear you or some yell Tires in the video. Guess you could feel them wearing.. I imagine there up to Heat after 1 lap... -I'm coming from bikes and on a Liter bike i have to change the Rear after a full day. Fronts about 2.

Sam nice driving!
Thanks for posting your comments & the video, it's nice to hear positive news from owners as the reduced performance issues & cars burning overshadow how good the car really is & how limited these issues are.
And it sounds amazing!
Keep on tracking.....

PM sent. I'll get him your contact info. You'll LOVE the data overlays with your videos. I can't watch my old videos now without data overlays.

-- Now I get it with the g-forces. I get a scatter graph of g-forces from data ack on my Bike..and correlate it w/ fast laps. shows brake, and lateral acceleration g's Sweet. (btw, u might already know, but I use a Mac, and use VM Ware to run Windows as a virtual machine and get all my data loaded at the track).

1) The Solo offers 2 G force type of readings: GPS based, and internal accelerometer based.
2) If you read G forces off of GPS based calculations, it is NOT accurate
3) The internal accelerometer on the Solo unit is very accurate and reads up to a rate of 100Hz. HOWEVER, this accelerometer MUST be re calibrated every time the solo mount is moved. If you use the suction cup mount, that means you cannot move that mount, otherwise the accelerometer must be recalibrated again. In order to calibrate, you have to mount, connect your laptop to the solo while mounted, and use the calibration function off of race studio. I have no idea why AiM won't program the Solo to calibrate on it's own without the use of race studio. They keep on saying they will do this, but haven't.
BTW, my buddies who have the Solo and use a mac that want to do video overlay are using race render because they offer a native mac version of their software. They seem to like it. I've got a pc and use trackvision.

A couple of things you may or may not know about the AiM unit:

I did not know that about the actual G force measurements. I have been getting the GPS ones. So between those and the absurdly generous reads from the car, I now have no idea what G forces are being generated. Do you know if there is a percentage discrepancy or is it an inconsistent variability between GPS and actual measurements? Thanks for the info and I will research race render.

-3.1 F, -2.5 R. Had to replace stock control arm bushing because the car does not have caster adjustment. The rears are wearing a lot on the outside but I won't increase negative camber there as the understeer will increase. 28/29 hot pressures seem to work well but I'm still playing with them. If I ever get to it, I'll use the pyrometer. Front sways at softest setting and rears at firmest.

When I get my GT3 this summer, I'll post videos like this:
