So much fun!!

Huge thanks to the Florida crew for welcoming us with open arms then busting out *****. . Track is awesome and challenging. Night DE was something to experience. It actually helped with learning the track.

Big plug for David Tuaty. Great coach and great guy. Will use him any time I'm out here. Really helped me with the track.

This weekend demonstrates why I love the Rennlist community so much. Great people, great fun, great cars.

Peter broke a spindle in the SC towards the end of the 6 hr Enduro so was attempting to drive the Rustang Friday but not having much luck. Word is he will have a new upright and be back on track today for the race.

Peter Thx again for the lead follow... A little hairy popping the Sebring cherry with all the race cars but it helped having a lead out in the borrowed car )
Great to meet everyone in Trakcar nation... Look fwd to going back!

"cold and windy" in FL, what is that 75? :-) It's CHILLY here out on the desert tracks early morning right now, mid 30's. Beautiful during the day.

Wish you were here also but I understand why you couldnt make it. Theresa is in SS so maybe she has an idea on the new GT3 lap times.

+991 to all that said by ChrisF. I too got some excellent coaching by David. But by far my biggest thrill was blasting around in a Cup car similar (but waaaay better) to my own. Huge props to Stujelly for that!

Oh, and one more thing... Izzone has got to be one of the most awesome drivers I've personally witnessed. He jumped in a 997.2 Cup and spanked everyone else on his first flying lap. OMFG

+1, very cool how we meet like minded lunatics through RL aka the asylum. New difficult track to learn plus coach is good combo!

Too bad you could not make it, figured this would be the year..
There is one in SS, deacon he has the white with martini stripes, I think he runs 2.25/6 ish.

Thanks to Trakcar nation and old DE Cup guys who make this experience a must-do for me. Same sentiments shared by ChrisF and 24chromium.

Re: 991 GT3, I queued up behind Ramone's black car. He is instructor at Sebring. Should have some video for a bit before traffic cut us off. Car is fast out of corners. Walks me every straight: from 7-10, 10-13, 16-17, 17-1. 23's my guess for him there with passenger with Sport Cup 2's. Will ask him if I run into him today.

I did pass a white 991 GT3 on Thurs/Fri in our group, but that was driver difference and not car. 991 GT3 is faster everywhere except I'm not sure about min corner speeds. Faster into turns and faster out. Period.

My car made it there but I didn't, oh well there is always next year. I saw the white with martini stripes there last month but didn't get to run with him. Do you still have an Aston curiosity? Have you heard about the Vantage GT3 that's coming? Debut in Geneva.

I ran with a couple at Daytona last month...they leave me behind easily on the straight stuff.

Yeah Lindsey, I heard from girlie. Too bad but next time, maybe DM and or 48? You signed up?

Astons are interesting now, for street driving a no brainer over a 911 but for the track its hard to keep them running I think. Cool though, manual and $40K less than a GT3.
On the track the GT3 will run circles around it and most other track cars will be faster.
