Good news for you, point by given at T9, not a late pass at all, I will show you a late pass great example set by DeputyDog, one at T1 and one a T17 the way it should be done.

Tip: when the passing line leads to a tighter turn in, adjust speed. Basic lesson of extended passing, and even more important lesson for an open passing group.

- DeputyDog is too proud to pass me on the straights, I got humbled being passed on the inside of T17 and the outside of T1.

- The Greek only passes on straights, despite of extended passing. We had the greek in the back of Izzone's RS during the best track session never recorded. Izzone was smart to not let the Greek pass, Greek could not have handled the pressure.

I'm still pissed the Greek didn't record it

They were probably replacing all the dirt I kicked up in turn 7 on Greeks car

My Cayman has a total of 6 track days, it drank more engine oil in those days than the full capacity of oil in the engine. Shifter went soft after 6 laps at Sebring, and it gave me troubles shifting.

PSM instrusion at T7, T10, T13, T16, in that order, full gas and nothing would happen until steering wheel almost straight, horrible and frustrating. Found the i-fix

Oil ingestion at T1, T8 and T14, found the i-fix as well, not cheap.

Currently at a Porsche shop.

Brakes are fine now, I wish for a little better cooling on the front. Steering response is great. Chassis balance is great.

I did not miss not having a LSD, given that I ran a front GT3 sway bar at full stiff and same size of tires at all corners. Zero inside wheelspin.

I think they are stuffing a 4.0 in it to make up for all the inconvenience...

I would just like to point out AGAIN that my 2:24's were in traffic by myself, while Burke was chasing a rabbit on the way to 2:23.....

Chasing Randy was epic. The amount of clay that bastard would kick up on Turn 7 would send me and Burke into a choking frenzy. I cant imagine what the hell the over drivers were thinking watching us two go by.

Going the extra mile?? Making up for the inconvenience?? Do you also believe in Santa Claus??? You have a better chance seeing him than getting something extra for your troubles...

Following Izzone to learn Bishop and T17 after a very nice coaching session that included visiting the two turns. Dropped 1.7 secs after these tips. Prior to these tips, I was consistent up to 0.8 secs on low traffic laps, but 1.7 secs slower.

A great quality pass for an extended pass or open pass group executed by DeputyDog at 13:10, he was on my tail before T17, got point by prior to T17 and T1, executed with style.

The Greek does a horrible job at T9 at 14:20
