Default Rennsport Results 2018

Anyone know the difference between the weisach cup, gmund cup and flacht cup? (PCA and the Studgart group are self explanatory.)

Weissach was 70s/80s 934, 935s and Rsr type cars. Gmund was 356s, flacht was modern gt cars - rsr, r, rs, cups (964 thru 991).

Racing Rennsport was a real hoot. Great battle in the SPBs. First time I’ve ever seen a DP car in PCA Club Racing.

Yeah that that ex-Penske DP seemed a bit out of place in the club race group. It was crazy loud too. What a fun event.

Between Weisach and Flacht groups, where would my 928 fit if i didnt run in PCA? the car did have a bunch of pro starts , so i was thinking it might be eligible, plus it's not a common Porsche race car as well
Im thinking the Flacht cup is only for "cup"cars, factory produced race cars. so maybe Weisach?

thanks

​​​​​​Weissach most likely, but I believe there were 47 cars in that group, all with significant history and $$$ restorations...

There was one at the glen race a few years ago. It got taken out in a cup car wreck in turn 1.

No 919 track record for Laguna I guess? Though the announcers were cagey as to whether Porsche was really going for a record run, they sure seemed to be trying hard for not really trying. They changed tires I think 3 times in 30 mins and even changed drivers late in the session, but didn’t appear able to get the car sorted on Sunday.

Mark, unless your car was accepted into the Club Racing group, it would not have been eligible for the other groups. Just the way RR goes...

I wonder if the 919 is sticking around and running tomorrow?

I started 8 spots back and the 3rd E car. Fought thru with help of double yellow restack. Finally caught leader with 3 laps to go.
Last lap pass for the E win (with help from a cup car), I cooked it in t10, then lost it at the line to Martinson by 0.038 seconds.

in car video from Martinson:

Dang! Good commentary - you can see how that T10 cost you. Still great stuff!

I'm impressed how tight you were on T11. Any thought that staying wider into 11 might have helped?

Group 4 (Weissach Cup) also included 2 -933s These are 2.0L cars. These cars have 200 HP. They were not listed in the group. I complained about the disparity in HP but was told by Bruce Canepa that Porsche wanted cars from the same era on the track at the same time.
MY car #154 qualified 19th for the race but spun a bearing in practice Sunday morning. We still had a great time.
