Here is the proof, an amateur in a 991 is faster than a Pro in Boxter S or Cayman S.

 

You have to open youtube to see the details.

 

LOL! Proof of what exactly?

 

That lap looked pretty awesome!

 

I won't call Dag Johnson an amateur he has done an awful lot of laps on the Ring, so let's call him at least a semi-pro

Nevertheless an impressive lap.

Nothing if you does not want to :-)

 

thanks for sharing. that was fun to watch. I've run it hundreds of times over the years on Gran Turismo 3,4,5,6 but its never as good as the real thing.

 

Wow, thanks :-) Semi pro sound awfully nice! But Im not a racer, but yes many tourist laps with different cars over the years, mostly 9 minute cars and a lot of fun!!! Have we met at the Ring?

Hi there, I have done the same, good training and very intense in the group C cars :-)

 

Ooow it's you Dag hahaha

Let's be honest, you know the Ring pretty well. Better than most of us here. Doesn't take away that your driving is amazing to watch.

I also think that the 991 would even be slightly faster if the Cayman had the same amount of hp than the 991 and was driven by the same driver.
981 chassis is superb, but so is the 991 chassis. On the Ring (in fact on most tracks), I think the 991 has the advantage because of more traction. Only when the track is narrow and very twisty the 981 chassis will have an advantage because it is slightly nimbler and better balanced.

BTW... I don't know if we have met... I'm not a frequent Ring-visitor haha. But i've seen a lot of your laps on youtube and it clearly shows that you are a good driver that knows the track very well.

Really nice to watch; thanks for posting.

 

Well done.

 

Epic! 165 mph on straightaway. Not chicken at all.

I'm looking at my 3.4 l differently

 

Yes, agree with you both 981 and 991chassis are so good. Drove the new Boxter and it feels so compact and precise in a different way than 911. If you prefer that feeling 911 is no match. I needed 4 seats though, actually use them quite often. I did a lot of laps with a Boxter S some years ago, manual shifting. What a car! But the 911 is a totally different experience, more "action" if you know what I mean. That heavy engine in the rear trying to make trouble:roll eyes:

I still haven't come down from my high now feeling like a semi pro
You know, I have never raced cars, so I do not know if I deserve it

Cheers
