WOW the 991 cup is amazing ..! To give you idea it went 2 seconds faster than the 12 car around Silverstone which is impressive

The paddle shift system is amazing and you can pre select your gear which is great..you can not over rev the car as the system won't allow to engage gear if revs are too high

The breaks are amazing performance friction discs and pads some bite..! Just wow
The cosworth dash is amazing also with great display
The front Tyres are the same size as the 09 cup rears and the suspension is totally different ..my mechanic noted the only same thing to the 11 car is the camber shims

The engine sits much lower also..a totally different car ..and the way it's built and the detail amazing

LOVE IT

First session ever in car I was p4 for most of session but ended up p9 as track dried out of 28 cars ..! Was really happy with this for first drive in 991 against the best Porsche drivers in the world

Qualifying was first run in dry and I ended up p19 I think which was disappointing but was first time in the dry in car..

The race started well got up a few place then the pit lane limiter was hit my mistake and I lost 10 seconds ..nightmare as they drove away ..then I cancelled as I could not find it and I got the head down and started to catch a few in font like Seb bleekamolen and Vernay who just won Le Mans in a rsr last week

Was really happy with race pace ended only 1 second off Sean Edwards the champ leader and first time in car ..! The team were delighted with my pace and I ended up first in the team ..!
The whole weekend was amazing racing infront of 250k people and the 991 was amazing ..we are getting them next year in the uk and the car I drove is one off only 30 cars in the world at the moment..
I have done a deal for 3 cars if anyone interested but will be later in the year to collect..!
The team want me to do a test as I went faster than there Porsche scholar and only for the limiter would have ended up much higher up..
All I can say guys is get the 991 bought if you can get a car .. JUST UNREAL

Good job. Just wish these races were televised in the US. NBC now covers the GP2, and that is the first time we've gotten that, so there is slight improvement. I still watch the BBC coverage, but is it only Sky that has Supercup?

Well done Karl, upholding the Irish Flag. I hoped to watch you on TV but the Supercup does not appear to be on any more, Eurosport, ITV4 or Motors TV or am I wrong?
