+1, I have lots to learn there. Was fun being clueless for a change.

BTW - you'll be happy to know that one of your TRAKCAR 3.X's was there being hustled around, quite well I might add.

TRAKCAR

Damn, I've asked him to stop driving it so much and give it back to me!

I saw it out there once or twice. Pretty sure I remember passing it

A stock GT3RS can not lap VIR in 2min 2sec even in the hands of a pro, that is beyond the car's limits....
A PSDS pro driver did 2min 8.2 sec at VIR as best time on used Hoosiers, so if you put slicks on you can shave 2-2.5 sec...that is it.
A buddy of mine who has a 4.0 engine in a stripped down RS.II under 3000lb with a Motons " I think" non stock vehicle did 2min 6 sec....
A 997 Cup on used slicks did 1min 58 sec in the hands of the pro......
Anyone that thinks diffenet please show us the proof.

My first time there as well this past weekend. I really enjoyed it, even though I was slower than all of you guys.

TRAKCAR

My car had a little Aero and LSD only when I put down a 2:06 on RA1, I am sure there are seconds to be found and slicks are a few more seconds. Not sure what LSD is worth. Very good Hoosiers are 2 seconds better and slicks better still, no?

This was a warm day. On a cold day on slicks a pro should go sub 2?
But how stock? Corner balanced mis alligned?

Sounds to slow for a pro to me

Mvez - Thx the last session on Sunday was great fun... You were running very well after only 2 days. Just glad to hang with you in all that traffic. John Lewis enjoyed it I think???

Trakcar - I know, but I just can't stop driving it. Such a great car!

mmuller - You did get by me, sorry if I held you up with that train in front of us on sat. Ill pick it up my 3rd time there nxt yr hopefully...

VIR is a track where the ram air scoop by Gavin Riches would work.

BTW - sure helps to have video from Trakcar, Izzone, and GT3DE to study beforehand.

Malmasri those are not very impressive times. Especially the 4.0 stripper, he should be way faster than 2:06


Here is a stock .2 GT3 doing a 2:05 with a passenger, far from a pro but great driver

I should have two sessions with some 2:05's in traffic with the 2:03 flyer uploaded to my channel by morning.

3008 pound (with driver) 996 GT3, 18 hc Hoosiers, stock coilovers, cup R&P. Something like 440hp crank. Usual 996 RS aero upgrades.

Care to elaborate

Anyone that hasn't been on this track is doing themselves a major disservice.

Some more stuff since then, like the front section of the Motorsport cage. Most just added weight and safety.

First video is up of the 2:03.98. It's on the 6th lap, with some traffic at either end of the session.
