I'm also new to the party!

Submitted my package for PCA club racing license yesterday and build almost complete. Will be campaigning a 987.1 Cayman S in GTB1.

Looking forward to the 2020 season!

Swing by the Speedsport Tuning tent and I will provide you with a supply! If your car is underweight the Swedish Fish are ballast.

Easy to learn, one of the hardest to perfect

Todd, I'm skipping the races the front half of the season south of the Mason-Dixon Line so I'm going to need those bonus points.

G cars a pretty fast. WG record is 2:06. IMHO you would be MUCH better off in SP3, where you will be around cars of similar speed, even it its an SP2 car, you will learn faster and not spend your time on the track getting in someone who is much faster way. The similarity in SP 2-3 cars make the competition much more predictable, which would be a better way to pop your racing cherry. Feel free to ignore.

I originally Thought about that, but The Track Record for SP3 is also 2:06 Im comfortable in traffic, I really have been working on "vision" specifically peripheral, being able to be vigilant about cars closing in that have significantly higher speeds... and "see them coming" .. but the main reason to be in "G" is racing with friends who are already in that class.. I will eventually end up in Sp3 down the road..
