Wow, I gotta say that I love that combination. Do you have any idea who makes that duck tail? Think that's a Porsche OEM part?

Seems like it's different than the one offered for the 991.1 cars:

The dealer verified that the duck tail is Porsche original. I have asked for part number but the dealer seems to fallen a sleep.

Here follows a short description of how to read the results from an RCN race.
It might also give a better understanding of RCN.


It is related to this post: https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...l#post14945286


This example is from RCN 1 2018 which was 13-lap race on the GP track + Nordschleife.


The red numbers and letters have been added by me.

1-13 in the picture corresponds to the laps 1-13.

1) This was the set time this BMW achieved. In this race the maximum time was 15:00 and the minimum time was 09:00. You get no points for this lap.
2) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 11:07.0. This is equal to 667 seconds. You get 667 points for this lap.
3) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 10:48.6. This is equal to 648.6 seconds. You get 648.6 points for this lap.
4) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 10:56.0. This is equal to 656 seconds. You get 656 points for this lap.
5) This is a confirmation lap. The lap time 12:43.3 is within the stipulated +/- 10s of the lap time of lap 1 so no time penalty added here.
6-7) Refuel laps: You have maximum 48 minutes in this race to do an inlap, refuel, change driver, fix car, do an outlap. In this case it took too long time so 40s penalty was added.
8) This is a confirmation lap. The lap time 13:00.7 is outside of the stipulated +/- 10s by 5 seconds so 50s penalty added here.
9) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 10:57.5. This is equal to 657.5 seconds. You get 657.5 points for this lap.
10) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 10:50.6. This is equal to 650.6 seconds. You get 650.6 points for this lap.
11) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 11:03.7. This is equal to 663.7 seconds. You get 663.7 points for this lap.
12) This is a sprint lap. The lap time was 10:41.7. This is equal to 641.7 seconds. You get 641.7 points for this lap.
19) This the cooldown lap. Maximum time for this lap is 15 minutes in this race.


A) This is how many seconds, real and penalty you are after the the winner of the, class, group or total. Or you can say Your value at B minus the winners value at B. I don't know this value is supposed to be used.
B) This is the total points and penalty time in seconds. 4672.1 seconds. So if this car hadn't got any penalty they would have had 4582.1s and a 5th place in class instead of 6th place.
C) 2:54:34.7 is the total time of the race for this car. The race took almost 3 hours to complete.


Found this nice blog with nice pictures for the interested:

I see the problem.
If everything works good for I start at 06:00 and are in Nürburg at 13:30. (flying+rental car)
I always come the day before because it is good to be there in time and you need to do registration, checking up the car and other small things that you want to avoid race day.

So you're driving with J***. There's my old front 6-piston calipers on that car.

I saw GT3 calipers in the garage. They are supposed to go on to next race.

We had a blown head gasket that needed all attention before RCN1.

I'm in Denver, Colorad for some business and to meet some fellow Rennlisters.

The trip over from Europe was really good and even the guys in Immigrations and Customs at Denver Airport was nice to me,

GrantG picked me up at the airport and delivered safely to my hotel downtown, Later we had dinner together with Ms Grant, really nice!

This is the really nice view I've got from my hotel room




The morning after our dinner a took a short walk. I didn't expect snow but Colorado thought it was a good idea.



Breakfast Burrito at Snooze @ Union Station. It looked better before I started on it. Sorry.







Later that day we took a trip to Boulder which I must say I really liked. We went to the very ecological store Alfaalfa which for me as a Scandinavian was like being beemed to another dimension. Store was filled with people with funny clothes, beards and knitted hats. They where suppose to have Yoga Goats but unfortunate it was a bit too cold they said. Portlandia came to mind. Liked it
Close to Boulder is the Flat Irons but because of the weather it was a bit diffucult to actually see them.
