this is a 2:30 lap @ Sebring.....between 2 porsche's

with rear facing cam....used audio from rear cam, cut down on the wind noise.

Cam angle worked out very nice !!!

Very nice clean lap, wow do I miss Sebring!

Last years' personal best was a 2:199 in 35F weather.
This year personal best 2:189 shaved Toyo RA1's in 75F weather.

The track was much faster the next day with only 44F but I ran slower tires, new unshaved Toyo RA1's rear only, but my lap could have been 2:184 without traffic, so with 44F and good tires I think a 2:17 can be done with the same car. Maybe one day....

I will try again at the www.48hoursatsebring.com weekend next week.

Very nice drive, smooth, good lines. Where did you learn to drive like that? We'll have to work on getting you to shave off some more time.

I learned with instructors in DE like most of us here.
Started in 2003 with a bone stock '01 Mustang GT, still have it if someone wants it: (www.trakcar.com), bought a 2007 GT3 (www.trakcar.com/porsche) then a GT3RS last year: www.trakcar.com/GT3RS

Just figured it out, mosty scared = brake, not scared = gas.

Once down to 2:22's and 23's in the GT3 I could not improve on my own by just stealing data out of my buddies cars.
So after owning the RS for 6 months I hired David Tuaty Nov '10 and Chris Hall Nov '11 both found me a second, well they found more but I could execute about a second once I implemented their coaching in my rythm.

IMHO I should have hired coaches sooner. Anyone who has been signed off solo and has driven for more then a year should. Cheaper then mods on you car. If you mod your car (brakes excl) before you hire a coach you are investing in the wrong place.

I know I leave a lot of reserve and could anticipate better, kinda like permanent endurance driving. Hitting the wall is not an option :-). I spun once in 9 years of DE (T10 HMS, hit nothing) that was enough ;-)

TRAKCAR,
I hope I didn't offend you in anyway, you drive very well also. I was actually referring to Michael's video, and the joke is that he learned at our racing school (Sports Car Driving Experience). I personally took him around Sebring once to show him a few things a few months back. That's why I asked where he learned to drive .
You've had good coaches, Chris has worked with us for many years and is a great coach.
I was at Winterfest also, but only ran the Thursday 6 hour enduro.
Keep up the good driving.

Neat video with a new camera perspective! Thanks for posting it.
