Orthojoe's GT4 track thread and ramblings

Leh Keen's GT4 CS lap shows some great braking. A lot of his breaking is in the first part of the corner (not just straights) and demonstrates very fine control of trail braking as he speeds toward the apex.

Great thread!!
Apologies for a slightly off topic question. I am going to load up the GT4 on my trailer and spend the month of July visiting tracks around the country. Seems like a large number of people on this thread are on the west coast. Is there a private HPDE group that books the good tracks? Chin Motorsports does a great job in the Midwest and East coast, but I am having trouble finding something similar in the west. This is the best thread an kudos to Joe for the effort. I found it when I first bought my GT4 and it saved me a lot of the experimentation I have gone through with other track cars.

Some of my favorite tracks on the west coast include: Sonoma, Thunderhill (3 mile and 5 mile), Oregon Raceway Park (clockwise and

I have a chance to pick up Cup 2 tires off of a GT3 with very little wear. The fronts of course are same size but the rears are 305x30x20. Has anyone tried this size on their GT4?
#1031
agree 295 cup2 are big enough for a Cayman
bigger adds weight and will not sit on the tarmac level.

Keep in mind that the N spec 305s are over an inch (almost 28mm) wider than N spec 295s. They are substantially wider than 10mm. I learned this the hard way trying to run 295s on my GT3.

Thanks, Joe.
I'm glad you brought that up. I just assumed (you know what they say about assuming) the difference was 10mm. 5mm on each side would probably work but 14mm is a different story. I guess the only way I will know for sure is to get one mounted and see. Hopefully someone has tried it and will jump in.
