soon.
My new cup car will be in next month, hope you can make it to one of the
Farnbacher-Loles track days at Road Atlanta to help me learn it.
(I owned Dominik's 2004 GT3 supercup car for two years but never driven a
997 GT3 cup)

Both showed me how to keep in a lower gear around several different sections, and to run a few places longer without shifting into 4th... (thanks Wolf) all to keep the revs higher. Dominik really stressed this in areas, he would just pound two fingers on the dash to get me into 2nd when it was needed (where I was used to 3rd). He is very enthusiastic, he pumped me up and it worked! I am using different shift points on the track now because of them. Wolf was also showing me how to brake even harder than I am used too.
Wolf showed me the limits of my GT3 like I have never experienced before, several times I was just laughing, I couldn't believe what the GT3 is capable of. It demonstrated and redefined what the limits of this car were to me, it definitely was an experience to see that.
I will get the opportunity to drive again with these gentlemen on the full circuit next Monday, I can hardly wait!
