GT4 v 991RS, Silverstone

[Apolo1]

Yes I was going out without playing with my pressures but the car has done almost 6k miles and 2 trackdays, thought that was pretty good for a set tbh!

thought so, you really have to watch em.......bet the back end was moving around also......massive difference in grip with the lower PSis

Agree that 918 over a lap is the quickset production car, on any track.......

I took Glenn out for a couple of laps, he was absolutely gob smacked by its performance!

so I heard, KC took him out in the RS later also....
next time you go out in the 918, just take 4lb out of the tyres all round at the start, set the on board gauge and try and keep em at 31 34, may take 3 dial downs then they will sit there, they will last a lot longer and you will have much much more grip.....

Don't dial to much out at the start or you will damage the tyre walls....

Perfect, thanks will do. What tyre pressure gauge and pump do you use? I really need order one!

To put that time in perspective, and assuming my memory is not failing me, the quickest I managed in a 997 cup car around the national circuit was 57)

Quicker than Glenn y):

hell of a laptime in a road car on road legal rubber ! a better, warmer day would see even better I bet

only thing that spoils it for me is how much of that is down to the tech in the car and no longer the driver so much .............i'm getting old I know !!

At first I thought so as well, but have started to enjoy the diff between old school analogue and modern more capable cars. To be efficient you still have to be accurate and do the right things at the right time. Yet delta between novice and experienced is defo less in modern cars.

What bets that Baf?
I'll give you a race if you fancy.

That prospect alone makes me want the Spring to come as soon as possible!rofl):
