Track vid 997tt vs 996 Gt3

eclou · 09-22-2008, 06:06 PM

A 20 min video of me following my friend in his 996 Gt3 (fully pimped suspension and brakes) on a very tight and technical course (MSR Cresson 3.1 mile CCW). It was my first time at the track, and the M3 and 993 we were following were instructors/racers/pro drivers.

track time!

Try putting some tape over the microphone next time, it'll help the wind noise.

Dave is quite fast.

Nice video.

What is the thing that was suction-cupped on your windshield?

In our track days, we need to remove all loose items, and this thing will not be allowed.

Clearly you held your own out there...

nice vid, thanks

Tim,

the dash item is a GPS data logger/lap timer - Performance Box. It is quite common now and passes tech inspection at the PCA events. It has little mass.

Turbofire thanks on the comments. With a 200 hp advantage over the Gt3 and 300 hp advantage over the 993 and M3 I actually should be quite ashamed! However in my defense it is a very brake intensive track with very few areas for HP cars to stretch out, and it took me a day and a half just to figure out the layout.

In metronypca they won't let you have anything stuck to the windshield, I know/I tried.
Looks like a typical momentum track (aka lightning, LRP), perfect for lighter, low hp cars. Go to a long, high speed track like WGI and those cars will be a distant blip in your rear view mirror.
