I get that a lot.

So Ryan, why exactly are you here posting on Rennlist?

Do you have an opinion on himself's first-time-ever-at-TWS 2:02? Pretty darn fast for a noob don't you think? Got any suggestions on how he could improve?

Or are you more interested in Dave than in driving? Just wondering...

Veloce Raptor

You will never get an answer. He is too busy popping zits.

And gnawing at his nails.

My best CW time is around 2:05. I think my best CCW time is closer to 2:00. All things equal, my guess is that CCW is faster, and you should have no problem getting under 2:00.Good video makes up for crappy driving!



I had a few more pointers for himself,
but now have to keep them to myself,
so you can hear Ryan's answers yourself.

I'm listening, but all I hear are crickets.

Thanks for the , don't mind if I do...

Thanks for getting back on topic there! My impression (done CCW several days but never timed) is that CCW is faster due to the better speed carry through off the main straight in to turn 1 vs the opposite end in to the 'S' and maybe before/during/after carousel a little better CCW also.

Not sure how my times will compare this time out, switching to a different tyre brand (from Toyo R888 to Yoko A048), I have a feeling the Toyos are probably better from the complete lack of talk about the Yokos on here for 996's...

since we want on topic.

T1/T2: Stay on the throttle through the transition, a later turn in, and a straighter braking area toward the box. This will allow you to carry more speed into T1 an through it. You should be able to stay WOT through the transition and for a couple of seconds before getting on the brakes. Picking the throttle up sooner in T2 is my only suggestion there. Don't be in such a hurry to get the car back left after T2, easy it over, you really abruptly moved the car back left. You've got time to easy it over for the entry to T3.

T3: You can brake a little later, usually 1-2ft before the yellow curbing start. Apex is maybe a tad late, but nothing awful.

T4: Brake in the middle of the oval transition, T4 is a pretty quick corner done correctly. Way late turn in, you turn in much earlier here because you can use the yellow curbing on the right. Both right side tires should be all the way apexing the yellow curb. You can see how late you are track out wise, you're almost tracking out at the ending of the exit curb

T5: Just a small lift is needed, you just need to set some weight on the front end. I'm shocked, I finally see a Porsche apexing T5 correctly.

T6: You have another foot or two on entry, use it. Late apex again, you can see where you're tracking out at. Use a wider entry, be decisive on turn in and with the throttle, there is a lot of grip because of the banking.

T7: No brakes, if my street e46 m3 on all seasons can go through T7 at 95 mph, you're 996 can. Maybe a 1/4 lift off throttle to sent the front, then WOT from turn in. Late apex again.

T8: Way early braking, you don't really need to start braking until the track starts to pitch down into T8. Otherwise, very nice turn in.

T9: Looks fine, late is safe. I tend to get both right side tires on that concrete and kind of hop the corner of concrete, grass, and track surface at apex.

T10: Entry is fine, I like the middle line. I tend to be more right than you on entry, but your fine. Very late and a foot or two off the apex here. Which is pinching your entry to T11.

T11: The bad exit of T10 is hurting you here, fix that and T11 will flow.

T12: Nice, well done. Don't be so fast to bring the car all the back track left for the entry of T13.

T13, T14, T15.: Do you like that left side entry kind of moving back toward right right? I stay more 3/4 toward track right brake straight in from T12, rotating the car mid corner for T13. You're iffy on the throttle through T14, be more confident with it, once turned in for T13, you can hold it 90-100% WOT through there.

As talked about before, you do downshift at the start of the braking zone. Wait, let the car settling while braking and downshift just before you're ready to turn in. It settles the car better and is less wear and tear on drive line components. Are you hands always that "alive" on entry and mid corner? You seem to move the wheel back and forth, any specific reason?

Hope that helps some, please take it with a helpful tone and not condescending in anyway. If Dave isn't available, I'd be glad to ride with anyone who wants some help.

******* Wayne, you obviously have no other intent in just dropping in on this thread other than to harass a single individual. I could care less whether you think it's justified or not, but its an obvious, childish prank, and it makes you look like a moron.

People like you are great at making goods thing stink, and typically have no clue that the other option - to make good things better - is even available. At least split the difference do no harm. If you can't appreciate the subtlety, then just take your pile of **** and shove it back up the hole it came out of.

George and Dave,
Thanks for the entertainment and the reminder to renew my licence. George take the skirt off and race the TWS event. The wimparriffic Boxsters can't keep up with you, but should be able to dip into the low 1:57s high 1:56s after a year of development and seat time.

Good post.

Respectfully, I'd offer another perspective on 5-6. In my car, I like to displace T5 with no braking which puts me further track right and more rotated to the left prior to turn in to T6. Due to the tight apex of T5, he appears to be pointed to the right with respect to the track surface prior to turn in of T6. He could be using more track on the right and rotated more to left there if he was carrying a wider arc through T5 to T6 and therefore carry more speed through T6. JMHO.

TT Surgeon

Russell,
How do you like that data box, (that's one I was looking into)?

You shouldn't brake for T5 apexing it either. Apexing T5 makes it a lot harder to setup for the T6 entry, I agree with that. Its not a "novice" kind of thing, you're having to braking and rotate the car for the T6 entry at the same time. Its very uncomfortable the first couple of times. It takes practice, but I believe its faster. Anytime you can cut distance, without sacrificing speed, its going to help.

But different strokes for different folks. If a displaced T5 apex works for you, then by all means use it.

Probably stupidity or a crappy car. Or both.

My ego isn't so big I take anything in a condescending way. I know I have a lot to learn, especially on a track I've only been on, well, once.
