Hi guys, traded my 06 997 for a 2010 GT3, I am planning to take my car to willow springs this summer, I realize that this is a lot of car to start with but it should be fairly reliable. I am sure the car has been tracked before because the rotors are now steel and the car has only 18000 miles. I am planning to take lessons and join the Porsche club.

Thanks! The KI Studios stripe was a recent addition by the previous owner and I wasn't sure that I was going to leave it in place as my usual preference on a GT3 is the clean, unadorned look. But when I saw it in person I liked it - a lot. It complements the red belts and calipers. The GT3 logo on the engine lid is red as well.

Well done Jack...enjoy in great health
I would suggest you sign up for a DE, it will allow you to explore the WOT and sound of the GT3....simply intoxicating !!

Back in the '80's I had a cheater (2180cc) Formula Vee that I mainly used for auto-X but ran it at RA a few of times in the Walter Mitty. I LOVE that track and it would be a lot of fun in a really fast car. Doing a DE with the GT3 is very tempting. I have a good helmet but it's probably out of date.
Maybe, just maybe...

Well done, Jack! Use it in good health!
Don't fear the slope. I've seen plenty of people doing a few DE's a year without changing much anything on their car. Especially easy to do with a 7GT3.
And if the slope started to beckon, you'd get on it only because you liked it so much that you preferred to spend your $$$'s there than somewhere else. So it's a win/win no matter what happens.

Just drive there, sign up for beginner group and drive it 8/10th just enjoying the car and the sounds.
Slippery slope, well if you just stick to street able good tires the worst you need is a set of wheels and track pads and only if you go more than a few weekends a year.

Jack,
Congrats on your latest purchase, drive it as often as possible and enjoy it in good health!
I used to live north of Atlanta, up by Lake Lanier and remember some great driving roads.

Yes, I know. However,I fear the "slippery slope" ($$$) of what simple DE's can lead to. Tires, wheels, suspension, trailer, towing truck...been there before.
Back in the '80's I had a cheater (2180cc) Formula Vee that I mainly used for auto-X but ran it at RA a few of times in the Walter Mitty. I LOVE that track and it would be a lot of fun in a really fast car. Doing a DE with the GT3 is very tempting. I have a good helmet but it's probably out of date.
