Nice Vid, and wow so jealous 3 991 at the track, wish there are more PNW 991s on the track.

taking mine to PIR next Saturday, looking forward to seeing what the car can do

 

very good driving...thanks for posting.

Is the data off a little....i thought the sound of the engine and the speed listed were not in synch.

 

Thank you guys for all your kind comments.

It is really the car that makes the difference, last time I was at Barber was summer 2012, I was driving a 2011 997 Turbo with MT and stock brakes, this time it was in the 991 Carrera S with PDK, PDCC, and ceramics. This time in the 991 I managed to shave 3 secs of my lap times compared to the Turbo, this just shows you how great this car is.

 

Nicely done

 

Has anybody maxed out the negative camber for the track work? If so, please post your camber values.

 

They kind of have same acceleration, amazing!

 

I have't done any negative cambering and I haven't felt the need for it, the PDCC is keeping the car flat through turns with minimal understeer.

 

Would love to join you guys. I'm in Atlanta too and had my first track experience last month, driving a SLS AMG and a Gallardo through Extremexperience.

 

good point buck, i thought that the speeds were off on the low side. btw what software/hardware system is that? thanks for educating me!

 

Nice video and driving indeed
For having observed it with you this week end, I find it disappointing that some people will not let you pass because they consider their car is 'faster'.
This is clearly the case of this GT3RS.
We have seen it a couple of times: a 991S can keep up with a GT3 (or even GT3RS) and at this point, it is down to the driver's skills. And you had clearly a better driving line.

 

Yes disregard the speed, the GPS picks it up a couple of sec later then actual speed, I used Harry's Laptimer on my iPhone without external GPS antenna. For timing it's ok, for speed measuring not so much.

 

crewmember80, I'm going out again with Chin Motorsports at Road Atlanta on May 4-5, you are more then welcome to join. PM me and we can coordinate.

 

This is now all too common in many DE's.

It is an issue along with the following. (sorry to take this a little off topic)

IMHO as DE have gotten more popular and crowded and instructors have become more difficult to secure for all, drivers are promoted too early and the groups have many who don't belong.

I don't know the details of this Barber group, but from the small sampling of video I would question if the lotus driver should be there. I imagine he or she could be trying out racing lines but he didnt look smooth or on line to me.

 

Great video and driving. What event was that? I want to track my 991, but not sure which group to go with.

Thanks

 

This event was with Rezoom Motorsports, there are numerous events that you can join, however not all are recommendable for beginners. IMO the most professional and safe ones are hosted by Chin Motorsports www.chinmotorsports.com , only draw back is that they sell out very quickly, but it is also a good indicator that Chin is doing it right.

BMW events are also very professional, PCA events likewise, however you don't get as much seat time compared to Chin.

You can lookup events at www.motorsportsreg.com and feel free to PM me if you would like more information.
