Sorry about that....I was running scrub R6s with 12+ HCs with full monoball suspension, Ohlin dampers, and no side mufflers. I was shooting for a sub 3:30 but the R6s started falling off on me.

Would love that!

Thursday was my 2nd time were at TH and I was only on 4 hours of sleep so not in the best conditions. I was also running NT01s/RA1s that day. I think with another day and some R6s I could have run a 1:57 or so no problem.

Wow! Great time. I think I ran a 1:57 my only time there in Scarlett.

CALSE

Thanks. I think 1:53 is doable. Life preservation light just kicks in at Riverside and Phil Hill. Hahaha.

Agree - I found BW fairly uninteresting and bumpy.

i did a 1:55 at BW CW 13 in the afternoon with a passenger XD . If you think a 991 gt3 with come close to a cup your driving the cup to slow. First time at BW but my friend pulls a 1 49 in a cup and longer mazda turn.

Did you use driver aids ?

I know this has been asked before, but I think we should avoid shortening Big Willow and Buttonwillow, given they would be the same. I'm guessing you mean Big Willow?

Try chasing competitive lap times there and you might change your tune

Curious what you see as top time at button willow cw13 is in a 991 gt3. 997.2 gt3rs that is setup well, and well driven is in the 1:55 range typically with good r comp tires (not slicks or hoosiers)

Cup is quite a bit faster as you mentioned.

I hear this a lot about big willow (assuming you're talking about big willow) "don't like it" "boring" etc. I have a damn fear of that track. It's mentally frightening, to get a fast lap out of that track you have to put it way out there. I find the track deceptively technical and challenging, despite its perception of simplicity. So to your point, wringing every last second and tenth out of that track is tough. The thing I hate is that when it bites it bites HARD. Big difference of spinning off track at riverside at button willow vs turn-8-9 or turn 2-3 at big willow. I like streets a lot. Fun track, just a little short. I think my favorites though down south are button willow and chuckwalla.

Full driving aids and in automatic mode! Only my second time driving a 911 platform ever at BRP (Buttonwillow Raceway Park). It makes me really nervous as the entry/exit speeds the GT3 is capable of are so fast.:O
