So looks like my time was the fastest time on the day...had at least another 2 secs in the bag, had to short shift due to noise regs,( black flagged) and had to lift due to a drainage problem at the apex on fastest part of the track, surface water across the entire width, tired to take it flat but just spun off.....

Lol, the Spz saw my time and decided not to run......lol
The 991RS as a road car, not a lot above a GT3, show it a track completely different car, learnt a lot today about aero settings, braking using the DF and tyre pressures, these new Cups have a very narrow Operating window.....

Sounds like Minis and Civics devil):

Good going for a first outing, as you say should be plenty more in the tank
Would be interested to hear more about your experience of the Cup 2s and how they hold up.
On the mainstream Cup 2s, I find a new set starts to go off after only a few laps during the warm up cycle....however, once you have put a heat cycle through them, they then (usually during the PM session of a full day session) transform into rock solid lap after lap performance.

...your challenge will be staying at a track for the full day :

Cant wait buddy, not been that excited for a car in a long long time.

the grip is insane, it just grips and grips and some........carried so much speed round one corner...I lost well over 2-3 secs through the noise ie short shifting and the water....that would have given me in the late 1.18s......
This is with me behind the wheel don't forget.....

Civics, nah I recall 3 x P1s, a lafa, a white 650SP, and 650SGT3 with no 59 on the side....clap):

Good point about the tyres, they are not like the ones on the GT3, they work best at 29-33, that's it any above and the back end starts to slide.....will go into more on this point tomorrow.

Sure - I still suspect you will find they settle down if you stick around for longer
During the first warm up phase I also get frustrated at how they start to slide at the upper end of the pressure range
