Some of you have had two cars along under one (driver) entry before so it must be possible to get an extra sticker for the screen at no extra entry cost for the car. Downside of running with the RSG group is you miss a session driving your Porsche.
Hi Gary The Rennsport Gruppe have bought a 2kcup beater. There are 13 in the Gruppe involved. If we book in as a single car with multiple drivers can you be flexible on the number of drivers attached to the car? It will only be one car circulating. I think we will often book our normal runs in RSG and split the cost Of a normal group as well. Cheers John Hi John, yes that's Ok, you should get 6 runs per entry so if it runs in your Group & 1 other that's 12 7 it will give it a session to cool down. Please get everyone to complete an Indemnity for it though, ,you can get 4 drivers on each form if you change Passenge rsegments to Driver. Please make sure its all done before bringing the form to documentation to keep things tidy. Cheers Tony |
I am still eager for John and co to report back on Karting day. The racing experience per $ is still the best in my mind. close high intensity racing with lots of corners and decisions packed into a 35- 40 sec lap. and then also run BB on the side for fun

Someone has already said, and I agree with it, running 12 sessions in one day is a heck of a beating. If you want to retain the Porsche driving as well, do what we did yesterday I.e. Book a normal slot and divide costs by session runners. 6 sessions = $18 each and about the same for gas. So each run is $36. Not sure how long the consumables will last. I would hope everyone gets a run before we need to ask for another call on funds.

I think 6 sessions for BB on 19th is more than enough. 12 sessions in a day for any car is hard, let alone a $1800 one. Im happy to miss a Porsche session for a BB session, but put me to the back of the que because my prime focus is the 993 having not returned to HD since my maiden rookie outing 18 months back.
Graeme, I forgot you had the 996.1 GT3. Who has that now? |

Macca I lost track of who owns it after 2 succeeding owners beyond me

Paul's 'what's wrong with this picture' workshop pic saw me drop in to Contis to give them a nudge on Friday and I should have her back soon. Ron's 997T was there, parked up and awaiting pick up after having had the same thing done, so they'll be well practiced. Jake, when my first coolant fitting blew they told me it was very rare too, but I'd think that opinion would be starting to shift now. |
Walter, is your car a manual or tip? When the drop links were installed I asked Izzy to check my mounts because I thought the NVH was very different to the Turbo 3.6. He couldn't find anything definitive but said he would compare that when fixing your car.

I think we have discussed this before but it's often impossible to determine if amount is deformed till you take it out and compare to a new one. IMO the techs rarely have a clue unless it's visibly very distorted. Like the water pipe pinning we are pioneering their experience in this small market as the cars get older and folk like the RSG group push the cars harder. I've been through this with the 993. If you didn't use the forums to identify preventative maintenance and left it to the tech only you'd never do much more than belts plugs and filters. It takes big shops in UK/USA and enthusiast customers to know what real preventative measures are with these cars which is why a nz advertised 911 says always serviced means nothing to me to be honest....

Tip. Likewise asked them to check my motor and tranny mounts while in there, as I harbour similar suspicions.

I have already done the tranny mount. It was well worn. I now have 167,000 km so it's reasonable to suspect they've had a good amount of wear as well.
