It was great seeing your 911Cup car on the track. It’s a real head turner. Great driving too! see you at Lime Rock
I had a lot of fun in what I consider my first real race in 911Cup. VIR is such a big boy track and we kept trying to dial in the suspension to get more speed in the climbing esses.
I'm still working out issues in the car but a wonky fuel pump had me down on power in Sprint 1 and 2. The fan belt popping off was also a problem and put an end to my enduro about an hour in. A few other little issues but I have confidence that Speedsport Tuning are going to work out the last few issues. These cars are always a work in progress!
I was happy to get my first 911Cup podium with a P2 during the wet Sprint 1. Looking forward to the Lime Rock Park club race. Man, these cars are fun to drive!
My best lap of the weekend - I was glad to get down into the 2:11s.

Here are a couple short vids from the Yellow Enduro. The fist is the purple lap for that race only because I was chasing Mr. Matt, with the draft, fresher tires, and a clear track after we got away on the first yellow-flag restart. Matt is a master.
The second is the start of the Enduro and "getting by Ryan". Ryan embodies driving a very wide car without blocking.

im def not a professional coach but was curious if you ever tried moving closer to the steering wheel? Your arms look almost locked out and putting pressure on your wrists. Just an observation i noticed but could be the angle. Love the way the car sounds, my dream is to get in one of these cars one day!
These cars are magic.

As a further endorsement for the 911Cup class, and in addition to being able to drive this awesome car, the other big plus are the other drivers. As I entered this class the other drivers have been nothing but supportive with their knowledge. It really is a great group of people and there is a lot of camaraderie.
This is actual video of how 911Cup recruits new drivers:

Here is my Sprint 2, first race weekend. Oil on the track, yellow flags at south bend- all freaked me out. Sloppy over all but had a blast.
(And I know, the video is too long, I don't know how to edit the damn thing)
Thank you, Luigi, for your advice and help throughout the weekend!
