Alex, you probably went flat footed the whole way in that tip

 

My choices were:

T1 - 3
T5 - 3
T8 - 3 or 4
T9 - 4
T10 - 3
T11-13 - 2

Problem for me is before I get to exit point on T13 I'm redlining in 2nd and I want to shift into 3rd. My instructor says don't shift in corners. So I just hold at redline for a bit longer before I upshift.
I wonder if the chipped TT's or GT2/GT3's have the same powerband problem in those corners (T12-T13).

Heheh nah... it still gets squirly coming out of turns like that. But I do agree it's a lot easier

 

she1, hopefully your car was fine later in the day, i was one of the three help you jump start it.

andy, i was out there in the last session. it was great, zero traffic.

my gear choice:
T1: 4th
T5: 3rd
T8: 4th
T9: 3rd
T10: 3rd
T11: 2nd
T12: 2nd.
b/n t12 and t13, there is a very very very short straight, up shift to 3rd.

 

4, 2/3, 4, 3, 3, 3-3

I'm lazy and bog it through 11. It should be taken in 2.

 

How did you/he get such quality pics? When all the other pics are amateur, these look downright 100% professional!!! How is that possible? Looks like he was driving along ... or is it some late photoshoppin'?

Amazing.

 

Where did you get that tire stripe? I have a vynil plotter and would LOVE to have that on my car ... it looks awesome! Is it a custom made vectorized image? Or one you could download from somewhere? Real neat.

 

I got it directly from TechArt. They had to contact Continental direclty as they owned the art work. It took about 7 weeks to get it. I wouldn't get it if I were you as they put in on a material that createds lots of air bubbles. Akkurat took an entire day putting it on and removing all the bubbles. Akkurat is in the process of making a custom design to sell. Call George at Akkurat. 650-381-0000

thanks

 

Zorro, talk to Pete. I didnt take those photos but agree that those are very good photos.

 

how do we get in touch with Pete ?

 

Pete posts a lot on www.funcarsonline.com . You can try there. He has always taken amazing photos. Really talented. Also I wanted to bum a ride off of him on the track since he's a really good driver.

 

he was one of the drivers at the event as well ? Did anyone else read the 'copyright' notices on the GotBlueMilk CD ? Says something about only using it on your personal home computer, personal home printer, etc..etc...etc. WTH ?

 

He was in the Red group and had the red 996TT (there was only one there).

 

ARGH!!! We just found out a hose came loose and in turn I lost some power. We put a new hose on today and MAN! the car feels so much better than it did on track day. CRAP! I'll be even faster next time...instead of a 180 I'll be able to go all the way around 360 BABY!

 

Hahah that's too funny Kirby. We did that on purpose anyways. We thought you were bad enough with 420HP so we docked you 50HP......
