What lap times you guys run there? ( mid 2:20?) There will be few Ferrari Challenge cars as well, but most of these guys can't drive them anyway.

They are loud but there may be no better sound in the world.

had a blast this past weekend and was able to meet a few rennlisters as well. mdrums your red 997s looks awesome and it sounds like you love the pdk. adfsouth, we didnt get to meet but sorry about the car issue early in the weekend. lindsey, i dont know if there is much more you can do to your car at this point, it looks awesome though.
i also got to meet the napelton porsche guys who were all very friendly as well as good drivers. jim those blue fiske wheels look just as good in person. had the pleasure of riding with Jack Baldwin and all i could say is wow!! i really got to see what my gt3 could do at sebring. i cant wait to compare some data on the traqmate

Which challenge cars are you guys referring to? The ones that ran with the actual Ferrari challenge this weekend at Road Atlanta were quieter than a DE session. They were louder at idle than full throttle. It was rather odd.

But boy do they crash, one guy crashed in qualifying in the morning, had a spare Ferrari in the truck and raced it in the afternoon. When they came in after the race looked like bumper cars with stuff hanging off, not one clean car without body or paint damage. One guy hit the wall going into 10a so hard he broke it (the wall that is).

These were the 430 Challenge cars with 400 whp and Pirelli slicks. And they were fast too 1:26's in qualy which is what you'll see at the front of a PCA clubrace (unless Leh is there in the RSR) and no rear wing. I'd imagine that translates to 2:09's, 2:10's at Sebring based on Speed GT.

+1 Thoroughly enjoyed driving with you this weekend, you definitely found the line around Sebring and fit right in with the regulars. I just hope I can do the same when we come to visit your home track. You obviously have your GT3 dialed in and it shows. I'm looking forward to sharing the track with you again soon.
