04 Boxster S / cup tires / Sebring = motion sick

First time at Sebring with my cup tires, they are awsome, only trouble is that the extra g's made me motion sick and had to quit early but it was still fun while it lastest. yes I tried pills and patches and seabands but nothing seems to help.

Great video, too bad you felt motion sick, the patch seems to work well for people I know who get motion sick.

Thanks guys, I have reached the point if I don't find a cure, I will have to give up DE's and that will break my heart, I had intended when I wear these cup tires out to go to an R compound and go even faster but I fear the consequences of that.

there's a lot of side-to-side to really jostle you about on that course. hope you feel good enough to finish off those tires.

I watched a special on seasickness with the Mythbusters, and they found Ginger pills worked the best. I would give that a shot. Might work!

You can buy candied ginger at nicer supermarkets and health food stores.

They work for me. I don't get sick in cars, but do on boats.

Thank you, I unfortunately for as long as I can remember get this motion sickness everywhere, boats, planes, cars ( especially riding), amusement park rides, I normally just avoid all those things but I don't want to give up driving fast at the track. I also read that alcahol and lack of sleep will make it worse and I did both those things the night before. I do apprecate all the advise
thank you
