Nice driving, Sam. Are you still using the MPSC2? What are you impressions of the car as you continue to track it? Any aspects you've come to like more or less with additional seat time in the car?

Thanks. Yes, still same tires and loving it. I'm going to decrease front negative camber to -2.5, as I think -3 is too much and there may be more grip to be had. Still haven't used the pyrometer but the insides are wearing more, even with limited street driving.

Here you go. Boring as there were only a few of us on the 3.1 mile that day. Porsche 991 GT3 MSR 3.1 mile 10 26 2014 on Vimeo
LOL at 1:00 and 2:30 :-)
Any plans to go and see more tracks? Travel a bit further

Yes, auto mode on track for me when I'm trying to make good lap times. Manual is much more fun for sure but auto is faster, without a doubt. The PDK-S is indeed awesome as the downshifts are right on. Rarely, it will short shift but that usually happens in turns that will accept that and I compensate by more throttle in the higher gear without a need to override.

If you have some fiddling skills, I've found dashware to be the easiest data overlay software to use. They let you download a trial version so you can play around with it to see if it's worth the extra effort or not.
Here's an example of how smarty cam audio/video turns out (audio sounds like you are in a fish tank, and video is grainy with poor color):

Awesome SAM!!! Can you layout your changes from stock, and why you did each? I believe you have done the following: GT2 buckets (direct install, airbags still work, no warnings), GMG roll cage, 6 pt harness, HNR device (HANS I assume?), added the steering wheel red stripe (nice touch), changed the stock camber settings (what is your current geo sheet these days?), brake fluid (to what?), pads (to what?), Hot tire pressure at what?, etc, etc Basically a review of what you have been playing around with. Thanks thanks thanks in advance!!!!

Smartycam is definitely the easiest way to go, but the video and audio quality are pretty bad.
