Spent some more time with GT3RS.

Downgrading tires was the right move for my taste.

Car is joyful and easy to slide around.

Nice drifting

Mad fun! ....RS just wants to grip.

I was at Sebring last weekend, but didn't see you there. The best I was able to do was 2:24; what tires and pressures are you running on your car? Thanks.

TRAKCAR

I don't go every weekend ;-)

MPSC2 F30 R32 hot. Not easy to do as you need to start at 22-24 or get out after a couple of laps to bleed down.

Last weekend was my first time out in this car, coming out of a 2015 GT3. It's an impressive car, but your times are equally impressive given you're running on the Cup2s. Thanks -- I was surprised with your tires, I now have a target to shoot for next year but outside my skill level.

TRAKCAR

Thanks, AFAIK the MPSC2, Dunlops and Pirelli are the only choices we have and all offer similar grip. I tried the Dunlops and got the same results.

If you haven't done pro coaching I recommend it, it has help d me a lot.
Every time I get a different car I hired one for a day. 997 GT3, 997.2RS, 4.0 and now 991RS.

I definitely agree with using pro coaches, especially with my limited, 3 year, track experience. I used Peter Argetsinger last Sunday, who I have known for a while -- I didn't get much of his time due to the Ferrari races this past weekend, but what I did get was well worthwhile. I've been on Sebring now for 8 days total over the last 3 years, so I feel like I know the track but the car was all new. I came out of a 2015 GT3 and found this car to be more different than I expected, more capable with greater grip and better high speed trail braking, but I'll need more time to explore its and mine own capabilities. Peter helped.

I asked about the tires because a GT3 friend was running 19 inch Hoosiers on his 2015 GT3, and he was always a few seconds faster than me on any given day. I am not aware that there are any Hoosiers or similar tires available yet for the RS. I'll use your video to see where I can improve my own times at Sebring, especially knowing that you are running the same tires.

You may have seen my friend's car -- white GT3 that caught on fire sometime in January at Sebring. He threw a connecting rod just like the early cars.

Sebring is hard to go on the limited. 8 days in 3 years isn't enough for me to go really fast at most tracks..

I don't remember a GT3 on fire ...

TRAKCAR

He was at it again in the wet this weekend.

This is why I keep my TC on

Took out the lap record for 991 GT3/RS road registered class at the state Porsche club last weekend! Still on the original MPSC2 after 8 days...still going strong!

Rained quite alot.
Track dried out somewhat so I did what I do always...

New rear tire didn't help me to slide car.

Anyway, I need more practice...
