Nice session! I am only going down to 2nd gear at Oak Tree. I see you are doing that in turn 1 too. I am probably being lazy and should do the same to keep the revs up.

What event was this...there are hardly any other cars out there with you?

it was my first time at VIR and its a hard track. I think I can do a 2:05 there but those 2:03 top times are blistering fast and require big brass *****.... Respect.
Well done. VIR is one of the best tracks out there. Like the Glen it's fast and tricky. Lap times will be essentially identical too

@VR

thank you but there must be many gaping holes....

T1, T3, T10, T11/12, T13 all come to mind as places where I suspect I leave .3-.6s each on the table....

oh and the upper esses... but that requires an upgrade to brass *****....(and probably lower on the risk/reward than any of the other problem corners)

What tires are you running? I watched your video and the line looks great. Also did you do any alignment work to the car?

Great times MarcD! I was in the garage next to you. I couldn't come close to matching your times, but went about 5secs/lap faster than my previous Cayman S.

I improved my PB @ NJMP Thunderbolt to 1:31.87, big Code Brown at the end after a Cayman blew a radiator hose.

Holy moly Bill! Code brown seriously is an apt description! Synchronized swimming. I cannot believe there was no contact. Glad everything was okay.

That really nailed the definition of "code brown", for both viewers and the drivers. whew
