Re: Front tire solution for the 2010-2011 GT3-RS
Honestly? Your car understeers like a pig, you just don't know it yet. We run the 255s (on 18s) on a GT3 club racer and the difference between those & the 235s is just silly. The car stops way...

Re: What diff do I have here?
I'd be interested in knowing as well. I didn't think that there were any "Motorsport diffs" with only 2 clutch plates. I thought that the ones for the 993 Supercup were 4 plate like the early GT3...

Re: First time out in the Cup Car
It was nice to meet you too. You are peddling that Turbo around pretty well. That was done on Sunday morning, the 2nd Red run session. Nobody went out in it for some reason. The 3rd session after...

Re: First time out in the Cup Car
Fatih, mid 50's? Ouch, I'm not Leh Keen. The fastest times for this years Club race were right around 1:59 flat, so considering that it was my first time in this car, haven't driven much in the...

First time out in the Cup Car
This past weekend I took the 996 Cup Car to the Riesentoter DE at Watkins Glen. The car was awesome and ran flawlessly. And what a kick to drive....

Re: How To Brake?
This is probably getting off-topic, and maybe worthy of another thread, but I see plenty of people looping it and going off-track due to poor technique and lack of car feel. It's not that they are...

Re: How To Brake?
Momentum. The fastest way through a circuit is with the highest average speed. If I can brake longer & more gently to allow my car to have better balance and therefore more lateral grip, I can keep...

Sorry Fatih, but I do not agree with you at all. Each of the three turns have nothing in common save that they are all left handers. Nascar, the easiest IMHO, is a straightforward, fairly flat left...

Re: How To Brake?
I too fall more into the "ramp up the brake pressure" rather than the "hit it hard" technique, but for a few as yet unmentioned reasons. First, if you've ever driven an non-ABS car, you will...

Re: How Different Is Driving a Cup Car?
MPSCs are the most "slick like" of the R compounds in that they need to get hot to develop their grip, where as an R6 sticks pretty good when cold, so it is not surprising you have found a...

Re: What Maintenance Do *You* Usually Do?

Re: Coaching...?
John, we sell and use Racepak (G2X and IQ3) for our data coaching. It is far superior in terms of power and data manipulation as compared to a Traqmate. If you are interested in learning more about...

Re: How Different Is Driving a Cup Car?
I respectfully disagree. Unless you are not driving it at its limit, you do not realize how difficult it is. A GT3 is lazy as compared to a Cup, and the reactions are so much slower it is not even...

Re: DE, Why Bother?
I love to race - period. Give me a choice between a great DE venue and a so-so race, and for me it is not a choice at all. Take everything that you get from driving at a DE, and that is just a small...

Re: Data Logger Group Buy, Interested?
The IQ3 is a nice unit, and does work well as a racecar dash replacement, but for a street car I think that it leaves out a lot of stock functionality. I prefer using the G2X (same capability) with...
