Holger:

Great meeting you yesterday. What a perfect day, mid 70's with a nice breeze, the track was in good shape and some really great cars. As always, Mooty was running strong, showing the F550 a thing or two. I had a ride with Derek in his GT3, impressed by the grip his P Corsas gave and was impressed by his save of an off track excursion at 90 +/- mph, smooth as silk.

Although I'm not normally a fan of aftermarket exhaust, I must admit that you by pass pipes sound amazing. Great throaty sound that was audable from just about everywhere on the track. Nothng like the sound of a screaming GT3 motor!

As far as times, my best for the day was 2:07.6, most laps in the high 2:08/low 2:09 range. Still have a lot to learn with the car, working on corner enty (rotation prior to apex) and smoothness. Also need to find a way to remove the permanent grin....

Can't wait until the next track day.

Holger,

Is the # 51 car, the white 993 a TT, and if so, do you know the owner?

I don't have the answer to either question. It was also a track day for the Sacramento region PCA, maybe he was part of that group. His trailer also had the same sponsor logo on it (and they're in Sacto), I bet you can find the owner there (or they can point you in the right direction):
