Thank you for the nice word! Car has Evom Supercharged / Bilstein B16 + RSS TS-2 + Cargraphic sway bar / 6pot&4pot Brembos / CAE shifter / deep sump oil pan...etc, and run with Toyo R888 tires.
I haven't done any track events for the past 9+ years, still in the process of relearning the car and improve my driving skill.

Any chance you're going to be at Palmer with them on the 8th ? Hope to see you there !

Here's another shot - waiting on some hi-res versions.

Very nice! Thanks for the shoutout. Here's a view from inside my car of the SN95 Mustang... I was expecting a point by several times... actually that driver was good about point by's, just not on that lap. I guess I should have run a clean lap as lead. I wanted to do a lap following you though and I didn't expect as much traffic as we went along.

Here's the continuation of that lap. I can only export 3 minutes of video with the software I have. This is my best lap of the session, despite deploying all 12 pounds of boost I'm not quite as fast as you: 1:26.4 (and only 3 seconds faster than my VW... I need to learn this car more!).

Great footage guys. You guys are looking very smooth.

A little trick to getting faster on the track, is to do a little go carting. You probably have a local indoor track. They seem to be popping up everywhere. The reason it helps is that you will be experiencing more forces on your body than you are used to in your car as you are whipping the go cart around, which helps to acclimate your body and mind to pick it up a notch on track with your 996.

It may sound crazy, but it works. With the exception of the past two years because of the pandemic, I tried to start every season with a little go carting before the first event. Amazing how it gets you mentally prepared for what you will be feeling physically.

I have found that the only limitation on my car is me. Carting helps.
