^^ thanks for the CUP classification.
Tons of room now front an rear.
We will be for tuning handeling next week. The 2 open track days with David Murry are ideal for testing.
The car is the funnest, most balanced car I’ve ever driven but we think we can find a few more tenths with reducing high speed understeer.
Plan of attack is possible canards up front but we start with adding a bit of rake.
we put the car as low as it can go in front shaving the splitter, so a few clicks back up in the rear might just do the trick.

It was a good weekend at Thermal. Set a new PB on Twin Palm, 2:15.5. It was fun to watch Ben Sloss and his wife Christine in their matching 488 GT3 Ferraris. They had a 15 man pit crew and a former F1 driver as coach and car tester! He set a new amateur lap time on Twin Palm of 1:57.49, a little over second slower than his coach, former F1 driver, Andrea Montermini.
Crazy what a couple more zeros can do at the track!

Back in a 2017 GTS....wish it was a GT3 or RS but only have the "lowly" GTS...LOL
I didn't fight hard to get a GT3 although I've had 11 Porsches since 2001...I still cant get on my local dealers lists...nor will I pay $20-$50k mark up either. So I got a 8% off MSRP deal on the GTS and its really a fast and great car. I'm loving the 409 ft lbs of torque and 450hp from the new Turbo engine...fun stuff

Thanks Trackcar! Definitely enjoying her.
My helmet Cam is a GoPro Hero+ and I have a GoPro 4 (depending on which one I'm using).
Absolutely in agreement there would be value to a thread dedicated to the Porsche Track App, 'when' it works... it's really really good, and the data it gives is nice. What's 'odd' is the 'android' version seems to work better/easier with my car, however the 'iphone version' actually has more information, including wheel slip, and if the car is oversteering or understeering! But I just wasn't confident I could get the iphone version to work consistently.
Looking forward to having her out again... with a bit more camber in the back... and she should be ready to rock!
Best Regards,
Dave
