At an HPDE, there was a GTS that wasn’t particularly quick in the corners but on the straight he was running away.
Why I've always said "any clown can step on a gas pedal and be quick if they have the HP, traction and a straight". An instructor once asked "what is the most important pedal if you want to cut down on lap times", the brake pedal he said.
On another forum, someone brought up "mods". Other than a good set of tires, you best mod is driver training because if you were really that fast, a team manager would be pounding on your door to sign you up. Other than someone that does it for a living, you cannot drive your car to the limit.
Having some fun on the track with Sam Fellows (son of Ron Fellows of GM/Corvette fame) in the white 992 right in front of me. Trust me, if Sam wanted to go, he'd leave us all in the dust.
No I just rent the 992. Really, me in a PDK car as my own car? Not going to happen, but they are nice on the track. I get the same thing at the track. I am a tech, not a doctor, a lawyer or an engineer. And no, I am not loaded, just one with a passion wearing Walmart t-shirts and jeans.
Our PCA went to Mosport last summer but I wasn't able to go. SVRA is there this coming weekend but I can't make it. I've got to experience that track one of these days, just signed up for another DE at the Glen 9/30-10/1, can't wait.
