Thanks for the nice words guys!
I usually post pics and videos showing my great talent ( ). Allow me this time to share a complete miss: The Brembo front BBK and the Toyo's 888 provide a lot more grip and braking power on the track but more is not infinite... I started to brake later and later before the hairpin at Barber until I ended up slamming the brakes at '1'. Not good (enough)!


Lesson learned, no damage to the car, only to my self esteem

 

I think that still shows off your great skills by barely missing the gravel pit and still not spinning.

 

Agreed!!!! Great recovery! Now you know where your limits are. By the way I thought I heard power until you were on the grass, that must have been some sort of anomaly.

yep way to keep your cool!

 

Thanks guys, you are too are too indulgent. I think you are right about the soundtrack Chuck (there must be some sync issue) as I slammed the brakes at the '1' sign and we should not hear power after that
Again, the 991 is a very forgiving car. I got it (slightly) off track 3 times and each time the recovery was painless.

 

Another quick video of a SM_ATL's 991 catching up with its predecessor

 

Are you running with the nannies on or off?

 

On for this one. Car is well balanced and responds well with the nannies on and off... But I do not dare (yet) to throw my new ride at full power on the track without safety net!... I drive with a track insurance, but there is still a bunch of depreciation to leave on the table for now

 

My beloved car will already reach her 10,000 miles anniversary tomorrow.

I should buy her something on that occasion

 

OK I don't know if there's been an intro TM ATL but I'm guessing you are the young man sitting next to Dad as he turns his 991 into a hover craft.

I'm also going to deduct that you are the author/editor of the video clips we have been enjoying here... if so I have to say your production values are getting better and better (really liking the text and choice of music).
Next thing you know you'll be editing to the music doing color corrections and stacking your audio channels.

I own a TV Production company but I started with doing clips just like you, nice to see.
Good job!

 

Guess that says you broke the sound barrier!!!

You ate the air force pilot here if I remember well from a previous post !

 

Sorry, don't compute on that one.

Back to your 356 pic, you posted "I was just out of Officer Candidate School and headed for flight school", but maybe I got it wrong.
Also, I do not know why my computer changed "You are" into "You ate" in my post

Sorry if I misunderstood you!

 

More video editing by the kids with Final Cut... They keep improving
