Has anyone here had a 991.1 GT3 with Sport Cup 2 tires at WC? I'm curious about lap times.

Joe's car is an RS on 19" Hoosier R7 with 911R rear diffuser, and track alignment, so not a realistic comparison to GT3 on MPSC2's... and he's very fast!

2:08 is my best on fully stock set up GT3 with cup tires

2:05 on R7's with -2.5f, -2.1R

Yeah, that was the one thread I saw where people were talking about the track. Comparison not the best.

My best, for one and only time at WG, was 2:13. a 2015 GT3 on Cup 2. All stock.

Pretty sure he's running slicks and I'm looking for stock non-RS times. Thx.

2:08 fully stock is a great time!

I ran a 2:09 on a damp track after a thunderstorm wash this past week but it was my first time with this car. Did a 2:15 in the wet with the same tires and people thought I was nuts. When you have Pro F2000 Formula car experience rain isn't nearly as scary. [/QUOTE]

And btw you will run faster times in that car than he did. Though it is hard to judge lap times from different days, as tracks change daily.

thanks! Weird thing is, I did the same time in my GT4 two weeks later in stock tires, brakes and just an alignment but didn't feel nearly as fast...

Better stay on the left soft and safe coast then.

Come do a little trip with me here, grow some ***** and the CA tracks will feel like wide open auto cross tracks

Ship car and I'll stick 2 in the trailer
Sebring
Road Atlanta
VIR
Watkins Glen
Road America
Mosport

Combine them all and think Ring...
The last 3 I haven't been to with Mr Purple.
