wow 44 laps! all with same tyres?

Nagata-San

That's no big issue, on push laps I do 60 of TrofeoR, and 120 on Cup2 on the RIng.

Some "less aggressive" reach 100 & 160.

As Nagata-San said. I drove conservative to not consume too much fuel and not getting too tired. (But still - 44 laps on NS messes up your brain.)

Actually these tyres where used tyres that Trakcar used on one of his ED trips.

Ok, thank for the info. This post has been really useful.

Now I'm living in East of France, so the ring is not so far from here (600kms). I'm counting days until nice weather shows up again!

I don't know how much you been driving on the Ring but if you are new to the Ring tyres and brakes don't wear much.

No, I've never been in the Ring, that why I'm anxious waiting for summer.

TRAKCAR

Stopping by the dealer today to figure out the production dates +/- and so the estimated pickups in Zuffenhausen and Leipzig, i've heard that Porsche narrows it down to about 8 weeks after production.

I'll report and and hope to see everyone there, starting in April / May? through the end of the season I hope, depending on when I can pickup the cars.

Nagata-San

Let us know, we'll set up laps & dinners !

TRAKCAR

Macan build date is next week, so I expect to hear something soon and see if we can pick it up March or April?

I’ll take it to the Ring for a few laps for sure and stop by local shops to set up the arrival / clear bra / setup at the local race shop for when the GT4 arrives in June. Maybe I’ll do the Macan nose. Our current Macan has some chips there.

It _is_ a dangerous place. Be careful.
It is also a wonderful place :-)

As I mentioned above I'll be there every NLS race. If you happen to come to the Ring when I'm there I'm more than happy to guide you on the track.

Well, the topic of this thread, the 991.1 RS has been sold.

992 GT3 RS would have been fun but I guess I don't buy enough Porsches to get one. Besides it will be expensive and the risk that comes with using the car properly is probably too high.

To be honest - for my driving my 997 GT3 will be enough. It is now being upgraded with front cage and new suspension. Probably cup bushings as the current ones needs to be replaced.


In the Nürburgring 24H we made it to a P3 with our BMW E90 325 and in the last Nürburgring Endurance Series we got our first P1. Happy :-)

This weekend it is race again: NLS5, a 6H Nürburgring race,

One day I hope I can drive this baby on the Ring... (To be honest it is just a question of logistics.)

Best of luck in the race
