Some have called it cheating. I say it's for safety.

Just when I thought I could put the hoho's on and keep up with the 2 Chris's,
both of these Cheaters turned it up a notch. Chris R with full Mich slicks and Chris M with a cup box and Mich slicks to come (they were sitting in his trailer)
So, what's a guy to do
1. Gut the 993, 75 easy pounds and 75 hard pounds, 150 lbs should put me at 2800 lbs. That and hoho's would make a big difference or,
2. sell the 993 and get a GT3, just hate the selling process......
Oh well, champagne problems ,had a great weekend with you fellows. Will not be at the next event but trying get to the Sept one.
Cheers,
Geoff

Chris M and catch that 993GT2.
You should buy my 993, I'll buy Rob's GT3 and Rob can buy a Jim's cupcar.
It all stays in the Rennsport family

Just kidding, if I sold my 993 it would have to be for a GT3. I still remember
in 2004 when Bob, Keith, Paul, Ted etc bought new GT3's, the first time I heard them
on the front straight at Trembalnt it gave me shivers down my back.
I knew then at one point in my life I would have to own one.
Don't know when that'll be, but for sure one day

Learned a new trick on the weekend, throttle-steer. Calabogie certainly is the place to learn to "lift in the corners". No idea if I was doing it right, but it sure was fun. Especially in the esses before the front straight: on/off, on/off all the way around for max exit speed and being lined up early for WOT.
Figured it out by accident as the car was pushing lots. So in slow corners, lifted to stop the push and bingo, all of a sudden, I'm lined up for the exit

Was pretty amazing considering the mantra of "Don't Lift"...
Also managed to do a few good passes through Temptation: In deep in 3rd, to the apex, down to 2nd, and out.

Francois, you have graduated to the next level when you are ready to learn to throttle steer.
At Calabogie I use I slight lift going into Gilles (T2), Beak and the last right hander in the quarry complex.
We have other tricks for you when you've got that down pat.

Francois,
I know about that safety upgrade, I was at Gianni's this afternoon......
BTW, he's getting my car for a couple of weeks for some different safety upgrades.
