Pitt Race Tips?
Headed to Pitt Race end of next week (6/21-6/23) for PCA Potomac HPDE. I am in the White run group with a 997.1 C2S. I did Pitt Race for the first time two years ago (Blue) and really liked it but had to miss last years (2023) due to family obligations.
As I often do, I ask this forum if they have any good tips for running various tracks, and I am especially interested since it will be two years since I've been to Pitt.
Bruce had a thread (Pitt Race - Rennlist - Porsche Discussion Forums) last year after that event I missed, and it has some good information including this nice video, although I didn't like the split screen effect.
Any other videos or turn-by-turn guides?
I have a one lap video from two years ago. Boy, I was timid in the kink. Love to hear some benevolent input on where I was missing the mark. BTW, I was not tapping the brake during the back esses; just an anomaly of the TA app.

Thanks!

Your line looks fine. In general all of the curbs are friendly unless it's wet. For the link, keep your eyes up--look through to the corner station. If you need to lift or brake do it but hit the apex under power. Try to get a local instructor in your car if you want to fine tune. Relax and have fun!

I'd suggest Skeen's video as a good reference to start. We were there last weekend - it's a great facility, fun track, and you'll have a blast.

Hope it's not too hot....

I stay at the Microtel in Beaver Falls. 15 mins max to the track. Sals Italian restaurant within walking distance to hotel. Decent food good bar.
Glynny is a big fan of Cranberry Township which is a bit further but has a lot more than Beaver Falls.
He can chime in here if he likes.
