Nice video. That's one rough track with alot of walls. I am sure the track has produced alot of bend rims

Sebring is my home track and actually I never hear about bent rims. Turn 17 and coming out of Turn 1 is really rough. I am kind of getting really sick of being bounced all over. Coming out of 17 your car will come off the ground and hope over to the left about 1/2 a car width!

Trakcar, I will be at PBOC on Sunday...will you be there? You mentioned a coach and I suggest Chris Hull or Seth Thomas. I've heard a lot of great things about these guys. Chris was one of my instructors at PSDS. He was at one of the last Chin events with a 997GT3 with 2 people with him driving and his student in the car doing 2:19's!

You mean Chris Hall (Brit) or Rich Hull (Yank) ... take your pick ... both are excellent instructors. Of the PSDS instructors, I'd suggest Daniel as the most capable 911 driver and Cass as the most capable instructor -- both are capable of improving the driving of just about anyone willing to listen and learn. Easier said than done! : )

Yes, I will be there Sunday.

Chris Hall was hired by another White GT3 driver (Many mods on slicks.) He did 2:195 with my friend who is also 250lbs, like me. He told me about his coaching experience.

I know I could learn a LOT from Chris and many other drivers, I'll work on it as soon as I know when I will go to Sebring again after this weekends' event.

Default Cup car spoiler

a few guys i know swear by the cup car spoilers on the RS and GT3s. i ran them last year and havent yet had time to see if the euro cup car spoilers that fit on my 997.1 GT3RS also fit on the 2010 GT3. definately closes out the gaps between the car and the tarmac.
they pop on and off in seconds.

worth a stab.

Yes, I had them on my MKI, I need to go pick one up for the new one, they are not exchangable between MKI and MKII.

Lower the car 10mm and you'd have no idea it wasn't a cup car. How cool is it that Porsche gives us racecars for the road?! I remember many years ago watching the 993 SuperCup races and wishing we could get a full racer like that on the road and now here we are with exactly that. Thank you Porsche and thank you Trakcar for driving it like its designers intended!
