I guess you can go extreme with the Cup car as I did and then you wonder what to do with your GT3 because it is almost useless on the streets these days or you enjoy few track days a year with your GT3. As for other passions, you go for the real thing without any compromise or you want to do it few times a year but then if you can't stand not being in front of the pack, you start doing adjustments/mods that will make your GT3 a real track car: that is the moment when you realize that you need a real race car

In my dreams, this is what I'd like to do. Love the cup car and video. I've driven an open wheel car with a sequential box but not the Porsche. Do you use the clutch on up shifts or just back off the throttle?

I am lucky enough that this dream I had was realized much sooner than anticipated.

You don't use the clutch on upshifts AND do not lift the throttle since engine RPM drops automatically on upshifts.

You might want to back off on the AXE Cologne a bit there, rwgrif - I think it's seeping into your synapses. You're having those Steve McQueen in Le Mans hallucinations again . . .
