DD GT3 RD

Just went to Buttonwillow with Speed District. Car is awesome and tons of fun. Only got 2 sessions as I hit curbing too hard and blew a tire. Started shaving time with my girl in the car on the 2nd session and thats when I blew the tire...so should def cut some more time.

Car is all stock, on the pirelli p zero 240tw tires it comes on

I see you have the new heads-up g-meter on yours.

girlfriend, insists i keep it up! good luck mumbo jumbo...but as you said, cheap G meter lol

Do yourself a favor- no more "Speed District" events. Get yourself to a nice proper PCA Driver Ed. Just do it.

Chuck, I think there's an "S" version of the new head's-up g-meter. The kit includes multiple length lanyards, all of which can be attached to the heavier "steelie" marble end gong. What looks to be a simple hang-over type mirror connection is actually a gimbal type of simple gyroscope. This enables accelerometer and decelerometer movements in addition to the base model's side-to-side g-force measurements. Utilization of the appropriate length lanyard enables this new "s" model to swing the "steelie" (right corner mode) in a perfect arc left and to the rear as you hit the apex, accelerate hard and track out perfectly. If the "steelie" whacks you in the helmet just as you pass the track-out cone you've done well. Works the same in left corner mode, as long as you have a passenger.

I haven't done a PCA but one of my best friends is starting to instruct for Porsche North America. Another has won several Time Attack Events and broken several track records....we go out on track all the time together, in fact I got the Porsche Instructor started

Speed District is an open track day thats fun....I hear from many guys who've gone that PCA is a bunch of uptight A-holes with regulations up the ***. Doesn't sound fun to me. My buddy said "PCA is for old slow f¥cks that don't mingle well with others".
One of the instructors with Speed District is a professional driver who's ridden with me several times and vice versa


If you have specific input, say so...im not closed to criticism but I'm assuming you're saying there is something wrong with my driving (which i know isn't perfect, coming from FR cars, this is my first time tracking a P car). The lap time is very respectable if you know the track though

its pretty short, i wouldn't stress...I love the sarcasm though!

I have a baby pair of boxing gloves on my rear view. They are 100 years old. They were given at the birth of my grandfather.

You were definetly atacking that track hard. That is an excellent time, especially for a stock tires and brakes.

How did the brakes hold up?
Did they ever start to get a little spongy?
Was the pad wear OK?

Did the rear tires get greasy?
I have a feeling the PZero might take heat better than PSS.

Just wondering on above as I have not run BW in the 991 yet.
At Chuckawalla I had to manage the rear [PSS] tires, but the brakes did fine, although they did soften a little bit.

Big ups for MT!

Thank you. Brake surprisingly held up well. Really thought I would get fade after a few laps but did pretty well but I usually throw in a cool down lap every 4-5 laps to let the tires, brakes and myself take a min to reflect on my driving.

I was very surprised by the tires. Seemed better than the PSS I drove in a long time ago in another car. Grip is ok but since the car excels at braking and accelerating it felt great at BW. But compared to my ZR1 on ps cup 2 you can really see the lack of grip on the sweepers/longer turns. Will prob go with Rs3 or PS cup 2 next. I think brake/pad weakness will show more with some stickier tires as well. To be discovered




Here's my stock Zr1 on PS Cup 2 to compare turn speeds, heres a 1:56 and video below a 1:53 on some old hoosiers a friend lent me

"Ukranian girlfriend, insists i keep it up! good luck mumbo jumbo..."

"I hit curbing too hard and blew a tire."

What kind of luck did she say it conveyed?

Love the bizarre red alien peering at you from your wiper blades. Don't tell me, you have a cat bobblehead in the back window...

Slantnose!

That was cool to watch...thanks for sharing!

Not knowing anything about tracking a street car I have a question...

Is it normal to hear the tires squealing in protest at every single corner? Does that mean the car is going a quickly as possible?

Grunty

That software is really cool. What's it called and what do you pair it with camera wise?
