Great video and great driving. As someone that owns a 997 GT3, I always can use more 997 GT3 content.

Nice run. I believe you and I've run into each other a few times over the years.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll bump into you again then!

How did you like the yoks compared to the Rivals? My 991 is stuck on 19's, so Rivals it is for me. When my current set is done I'll try the Falken 660's in 265/315.

The yoks are just in another class compared to Rivals and Bridegstones. It's no surprise that everyone that got their hands on a set at Nats won. Putting power down in a 991 with the 305 Rival/Stones was not easy, with the yoks I just stomp my foot to the floor.

I am in Cleveland, Ohio. Have never done an Auto X event before, or a DE. Would like to eventually do a Porsche or BMW driving school, to be able to use someone else's car. But I am a PCA member and have been down to plenty of DE's to just hang out and photograph at Mid-Ohio.

Unfortunately unless willing to run stupid big 20", the yoks are out of the question for me.

The 305 BFG worked decent on the 991.2. Once I figured out how to not drive like an asshat, I finally got put together a smoking run that cleared the whole SS field by a lot, but coned right before the finish. FML, another Championship coned away 🤦🤦🤦

I have a new set of BFG leftover from my GT4, so that's what I'll start out on this year.

Don't be afraid to autocross your GT3! They love it!
And autocross is very gentle compared to track. Safely push your car 100% to its limit! You'd be amazed how it handles.

Thanks. You win some, you lose some. Hopefully 2021 will be the year I win again. I got hope.
