lol. I know cheating being in the Clubsport. But newbie yes. Raced bikes 15 years ago. Was at Barber 15 years ago on a bike. Never at VIR. Car is very good!! Bone stock 16’.

Real race car drivers much quicker than I am!!

Just got mine 12/23. Had PDK on my R and loved it on track. Way smarter than me!

Just found this thread thanks to Bill Lehman on Cayman Register. Generally there is way too much stuff on rennlist for me to keep track of.

From what I've read there really isn't all that much difference between the 981 and 718 GT4s. I'm just happy to have any comparison data. Because of the weather I've been driving a 2016 GT4 in Assetto Corsa and was looking for some kind of comparative data to find out how bad I am. This is great.

I only hope I can get enough mileage on the new car before the 2021 season starts.

Any room for non-gt4s on this list? 2018 Cayman S doing 2:32 at Circuit of the Americas.

Are you passing me in that video? Haha. Were you there with Chin?

MasterApex

I don't think I passed anyone during that hot lap,,,traffic was clear

Yes I was at the Chin. Which car are you in?

b-grif

I was in the Blue 2018 cayman S #21 in Blue group.

MasterApex

I was running in Red group so you probably saw another black GT4

Nice driving! I was there at COTA as well for my first track weekend in my white 718 GT4. How do you like the Goodyear F1 3R? Do they last as long at the RE71R on the GT4?

If you're in the one with red rims, we've chatted before about my Catalyst and y'all were setup just outside our garage. If not, I'll have to find you next time.

I have been running RE71R for 3 set and this is my first time with F1 3R.
F1 3R is a faster tire , treadwear 100 than RE71R , in my personal opinion but I am not expert.
The grip and limit behavior reminds me the NT01 which I like a lot as it maintains 90+% grip even after lap 7.
RE71R is good also but after lap6, the heat build up seems to reduce the grip more than F1 3R tire.
However, F1 3R will be very poor in wet/water or when cold.
The sidewall is also softer as I notice more rear camber wear than RE71R.
After 8 sessions + 2 happy hour, there is enough tread left to run another weekend but based on tread depth it will not last as long as RE71R
Hope this helps....

I saw a black 718 GT4 , intended to find the owner to chat but lost track.
Maybe we can meet next time.

MasterApex

Yes, I have red forgeline wheels and was in my friend trailer outside garage 26.

Thanks! I will try a set of the Goodyears after I use up the RE71R. My only experience with them was on my ZL1, but that car was so heavy it ate a set of tires in 2 track days. I'll stop by post covid next time to chat. Is that Jon G's car? It looks very similar to his black GT4 that I chased many times when I had my 981 GT4.
