What Rotors do you guys use?

Condor Man · 08-11-2009, 08:29 AM

Are you guys using the factory cross drilled rotors?

Or the Brembo Upgraded Rotors?

I also read that there are a couple of US companies tha have been manufacturing their own. Are they worthwhile??

Not sure if applicable to the 997 Cup, but I know of guys using Cayenne Turbo rotors (at $135 each) on their 996 Cups instead of the expensive factory rotors.

Don't trust K964. I heard he's running Mazda Miata rotors on his RS America.

Do you race in the Australian Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge in your 997??

If not.... see you at Sandown on the 28-29 of November.

cheers

I plan on racing in the Sandown event.

How about you??

kingers · 09-11-2009, 02:53 AM

Yeap I'll be there... is this going to be your first race meeting with GT3 CC?

Condor Man · 09-11-2009, 04:07 AM

Klasan?

Condor Man · 09-14-2009, 09:52 PM

Yes that was my first drive at the regularity.

It was interesting in the wet!!

I am a bit more used to it now and look forward to Sandown.

What times have you run in your car at Sandown??

Ahh awesome.... must have been hairy in the wet on slicks at Phillip Island first time out!

I havent been around Sandown in a Porsche yet only in a little Furtureracer back in 2004. First practise session should be interesting.

How do you find the car now? I guess you have done a day or 10 testing?
