Any Rennlisters from New Zealand?

Macca, full auto. The drive out of the slow corners is outstanding. The box always seems to know what I'm likely to need. You can see that on the straight out of turn 9.
While it's great to drop 8 seconds in one go I can't but think it's less satisfying than pedaling the 964. Full air con, George FM on the radio, hands never having to leave the wheel. Power to burn. ABS , PSM. You get the idea.

Sean joins the boys tomorrow!

Well done Peter - into the 1.19's. I hope that's not a damp track time..??? - no pressure Dave and John.............
All you have to do now is strip a little weight with racing seats, removing the back seats, spare tire and some RS brakes, and you will be challenging Sean in the 1.16's............
Sorry for the no show - ended up having to work the entire day..........

Times from the PCNZ day on Sat are now online:

John - I think you have some explaining to do with 1.22 recorded in the regularity trials... which has a limit at 1.28....!
Thanks for collecting the data again today. Doug was at his best in the wet so not fair to compare with a dry lap! He reeled me in on all of the wet sessions - I ran the AIM on a couple of wet sessions so you should have a comparative - be interesting to see just how much better Doug was on the corners.

Unfortunately the wet laps are all over the place. We need some more AIMs out there so we can compare like with like on the same run.
Some pics from the day. Mr Black and Peter's C4 now branded.

$95K for a 997T, seems only yesterday they where $250K used???
Looks like 997's are heading for the serious depreciation curve (with the help of cheap UK imports)...............

Thanks John for sharing this. It certainly would be pretty cool to have a number of units and overlay each other on the same run. Wound be interesting to compare speed in/out of the corners on the same run. The conditions today were pretty variable and I loved the challenge and it was nice to be able to keep up for a change in the Boxster with it being wet. Evens out the horsepower advantages :-). Thanks again.

Not sure if it breaks the Prestigio rules but we could 'race' indirectly with just a couple of units. Safer than actual racing, as illustrated by Dave's pirouette in front of me on turn 8. If the red mist had descended I would have collected him, possibly t-boning him in the driver door.
