You are zen master!

I was in the silver 6gt3 that was having fun all weekend with you guy,s. I managed to eak out a 2:07:5 on the slippery surface. It was great meeting some of you and being able to put faces to the names on here.

^Good to meet you too Mike- you were flying! The few times I was close to you was really amazing- that rear end was loose, but you kept it together and layed down some fast times. I think in the second morning session was the best when we were all together for a lap or two chasing down DRL, quite a fast train we had going! That was when I put in my fastest lap- 2:05.6, while DRL was doing a 2:04 something. What a blast! Hope to see you again soon- Oh, and fantastic setup- we may have the TPD's but you have the rolling coach which looked pretty nice!

^You know that the fastest time of the day by Andrew was a 1:03 with a 997.1 GT3 with R6 and DRL was on R6 as well. I need slicks to make up for my lack of talent! Although for some reason on this track I didn't feel my slicks felt any better than my old R6, but my rear slicks are narrow and I think BW you need that mechanical grip from wider rears like I had on the R6.

Edit: Of course I meant 2:03

Ti Jean,

I was in your group on Saturday, and you car was looking good out there. I have a video I need to dig up that I have of you on track.

Montoya, your yellow GT3 cousin was out there too in our blue group and doing a good impression of Tokyo drift on a couple of corners. I think he could have been testing out his car without all the nanny controls but it was pretty entertaining to watch.

Mike - nice to see you again. you were very fast and very smooth out there - it was a pleasure watching you drive the couple times I came up behind you

my battery died that session and i am so bummed i don't have that session on video, that was a blast! that was my best session for sure. although i did another 2:04 the following session which has a few tenths faster....it was not so smooth as the tires and track were getting slippery (see vid below)

nope no testing, that's just what he (liurad) does! i keep telling him to get R6 and come play but he prefers street tires.



here is a vid of the third and final session on Sunday, before the TT. video is from same session as 24Chromium posted above. just after i pass 24 is my fastest lap of the weekend and you will see i worked for it. on 19" hoos, 9 or 10 heat cycles, about 36-37 psi. track is heating up and tires are beginning to lose grip.
