But hey I actually still use Vista on an old laptop to run my fake durametric cable. It works!

Nice job driving. Your setup for each curve looked good too.

My favourite track. I still haven't driven it since they reconfigured it. What kind of times does your TT do there now?

You can see you really know that track well. You take some very swallow lines into corners and rotate the car a ton at the apex. Nicely done.

Looked fun! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it is so much fun driving a “slow” car fast and passing the guys in the “fast” cars.

You should come down when you can be here 2 days in a row, the new surface is great. Consistent 1:30-31 without going for broke. I've turned 1:29s and I know the car has 1:28 in it, the new surface has made the track a little faster but the runoff is the same

I've done lots of laps here and it's a really fun track but I have tons of improvement left. Trusting how fast you can really go is half the battle.

Yep, the turbo is great but it's good to check if you're just making up for lack of ability once in a while. I really want to take my 991 again but the paint looks so nice after some touch up bumpers and hood and I need to PPF it first. I didn't after same on the turbo and track use shows pretty quick...

Yea, trail braking and late/less braking is the final piece of being quick, and the hardest.

That runoff area looks like it would keep most sane people from pushing all the way to the limit in most places!

I also have to agree with Carlo, consistently trail braking down to the same maximum apex speed is the hardest part. Data systems help a lot with this but, it still takes a lot of work and practice to get it right every time.

Last 2 weekends I've been out there I've seen a total loss, not a kind track in the off areas.
The more you experience how much a well set-up 911 likes trail braking makes you push the limit, but the other end of that is remembering to keep your foot in it when you come out the other end sideways at 70+

911mhawk you have a bad habit of really making me regret ever selling my dialed in E39 M5....
