Did you guys happen to see the results? Mens winner averaged 20.2MPH over 200 miles. He was in a pack and did a breakaway at mile 94 and never let up. That's inhuman!

No hills where we are going.

Just up and down flats LOL
I don't do wind....

First time to hear 4.0 needs new clutch. How many miles on your 4.0 ? Is that due to miles, driving style, or just happenstance ?

Thanks for sharing.

Drive safe,

Clutch is normal wear item on big power 997RS, I’d say.

Agreed. Really does make Leadville look like a walk in the park.

i think cycling did it
my first test in 997 cup car no abs

i was worried I will lock up
my crew says no way. just get on it hard. u can’t lock it up it’s stiff and no power assist

hahaha
second lap once tires warmed up what I thought was a tap on brake cause full
lock and total flat spot. i
don't remember pedal pressure recorded. I only remember the size of the techs eyes doubled seeing the pressure recorded lol
