Lots of things don't make sense like 90db sound limit at Laguna but we have to deal with it 😉

Love it! Great story! Thank you for the sharing and congrats!

On a side note, 911's love trail braking.. it's how you maximize front grip at turn in... it's a must. Also, in 911 you can get on gas sooner; as weight is over the rear tires for enhanced grip vs. FR or MR. AS for oversteer; the rear will generally want to kick out if entering too fast just before apex. Better to follow the slow in; fast out approach. As you learn and get more comfortable, you can increase entry speeds to test the limit. Also, setup is massively important with 911's.. get a good setup and then adjust sways to balance how you want it... more or less rotation.

Totally agree. Was a Thunderhill 2 days before Aleks. Trail braking in turn 1 felt completely natural. First time driving the 3 mile with the GT3. Took 4 seconds off my best E90 M3 lap time while not yet trying to go fast. The car is amazing. Driver not so much, but having fun :-)

I heard putting up your window an inch and a half will also fix the cabin pressure buffeting.

This works, but the corner workers actually look for this and still flagged me for doing it.
