Do you have any pics of this set up with REs?
Good catch, I corrected the front size to 245/40 front. What are you looking for with Pics???

Just a couple side profiles of the car not rolling. I have this size in PS4S but want to move back to a more dedicated tire and just wanted to see how they look since they’re a lot “chunkier”

Nice run and I look forward to hitting Hedge Hollow in May! I could not quite get things done on my Cayman GTS 4.0 in time and was hoping to make it to the MidAmerica NASA event but am pleased they will have their HPDE/TT/Race Series in May and I am sure others will want to attend after seeing your video -- appreciate the posting!!

Hedge Hollow windshield. You do not want to go if you don't have PPF 😳

Pretty severe pits and surprised as I know some other folks who ran there before and they did not mentionthis concern, so I do appreciate you pointing it out. Did you notice any work vehicle to blow off the track or do you feel the issue was primarily due to following cars too close or simply a bunch of traffic?

A new track and lots of cars on track. I wasn't conscious of it while running but first noticed the amount of dirt inside the car like I have never seen before. Also I had another driver so we were hot lapping running both sessions. The other videos from previous events seemed to have a very low car count which probably kept people from having the same issues. A friend in a C8 had the same pitting but not as severe as it wasn't being hot lapped.

Default 718 Cayman GT4 PDK - NASA TT3 - Sebring 2:19.2 on 4/07/24

Was able to shave off some more time this past weekend and it's cool to see the progress over the last year.








While I'm happy with the lap time, the driving is terrible. Good news is there's room for improvement into the 2:18s!
I'm still driving w/ the traction control and let the PDK do it's magic. The video below shows a fast lap, cool down, and another fast lap.

Thanks Peter. For sure there's time to gain there in Bishop's,
the new tires and weather really helped w/ confidence there especially.
