Just attended the Masters Plus course at Barber Motorsports Park
An outstanding class with only 11 attendees! Small class made time for 3 more track sessions.
I'm just amazed at how really good a Stock Carrera really is on track.
Last sessions were run with NO reference cones indicating turn in, apex or track out.

Day one nice onditions
Day two Half rain and wet conditions, half drying out.
Day three dry but cold Mid 40°s

Hot laps in the Turbo in cold conditions were quite interesting as the tires never got heated up, so it was a bit slippery. Great job by my pilots Owen and Cass!!

Anyone interested doing a Rennlist Masters Plus in March or April???


A couple of pics of my car ...

Nice car and nice post

Nice, thanks for posting the vid.

BTW, I'm really suprised that they let your car in the paddock. They made us all park putside the gate when I went, citing insurance reasons.

Thanks for posting, 3 great days at the track!
I have not made it to Barber in the GT3 yet, but I will next summer! I will just do a track day though...

Please change the orange side marker ASAP.

Hey Brian, what new skill did you learn at the event? What did they stress to improve as a driver on track?

Riz

Is that the 09 or 10 turbo?

A friend and I have scheduled the Master's Plus on April 21,22,&23. Come on out and join us!

By the way, could you offer any comments comparing the Plus course to the regular Master's level?

I was one of the 11, nice to meet you Brian! We had a great group overall. Where is the pic of me with the "double hat" ? lol

Running the track without cones was SO fun!

No question I got in all the driving I could stand, as fast as I felt comfortable with over the three days. Instructor feedback after every session, which I soaked up and got faster every session. If you are willing to learn, adapt and apply you will be going very fast if that is what you seek.

A lot of fun practising heel/toe with the 6 speeds. A lot of fun focusing on braking, the line, and momentum in the PDK S's.

The wet conditions were a real blast with the compromised and varying traction conditions.

Instructors, car, track, everything is A-1 first class. It is a fantasitic experience which I can fully recommend to any true driving enthusiast seeking an intensive and ultra-fun learning experience.

2009 Turbo...2010 should be coming in 2010.

Cost $5295
No west coast ... only at BMP

Masters is 2 days, lead follow day one and 1st part of day 2. Then you are out on track for the balance of the day, 3 sessions, no lead follow.

Masters Plus; Short lead follow first session then for the balance of the class, no lead follow.

The brake pedal is the hardest pedal to master! Going from the gas to a good Hard initial brake, and modulating smoothly off the brake back to gas.

The instructors can turn consistent 1.44 laps, with bone stock Carreras.
Rarely will a student break into the 1.48 range most likely will be in the low 1.50 range.
As well being consistent lap after lap.

If in March I would be interested.

Here is the "Double Hat"

One more thing of the 11 attending 4 or 5 were repeat attendees for the Masters Plus...I think that that says something

You can bring your own car to this? If so I would be interested.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe for these schools you have to use their cars.
