The issue is when you are on the track. They often make you put your window down. At speed the buffeting is awful.

I've tracked my 991, windows down, 140+mph speeds, etc. Didn't notice any buffeting at all. Is it really that apparent?

Very. Many have said the same. Are you running with roof open or vented? Do you have diff mirrors?

It is so bad it ruins the engine sound in my videos.

Roof fully closed. Mirrors are stock, not sport design.

I'll pay attention when I go back again.
