Tazio Nuvolari Track4fun Porsche 996 GT3 new best lap
The stage was set: good weather (bit cold), new brakes, good tyres and a man on a mission!
Goal was to do sub 1:30, ended up with a high 1:28 time, so very satisfied with the result but above all with the car. What a machine!

The front brake pads were ready for the bin, so braking performance was not ideal, but still great fun.

Porsche 996 GT3 Pistenclub October 2023 in Dijon best lap 1:32

First time with the 996 GT3 in Dijon, organized by Pistenclub. I forgot how cool this track is! The car was running on very old Michelin Cup 1 tyres form 2012, so the grip was not ideal. Nevertheless, I managed to squeeze out a laptime of 1:32'8, which given the circumstances I am quite happy with. Looking forward to coming back with a new set of tyres next year and aim for a sub 1:30 time! Fol...

    • @DenfMotorsports
      @DenfMotorsports 11 месяцев назад

      Thanks, the Manthey geometry was a step foward (I run it also on the new car), but it didn't solve the odd oversteer issues I encountered several times with the car, which could have been caused by excessive bump steer (experiencing it in Kesselchen in the fast left corner is not that fun). To counter this I wanted them to install adjustable toe links which give you control over the toe-curve. But because they were not familiar with the Demonspeed toe links I got, they didn't fit them. At the end of the day the most important part would have been to solve the issue, and they could have just fitted the 997 cup toe links instead, but no such effort was made. Now, the new car handels differently (better) even without other toe links, which might indicate that there were other things going on as well but that nobody was able to properly diagnose...

      @@GT4-CS They said that there aren't really different setups, and that the only thing that usually changes is the ride height. For GP track lower than for the Nordschleife. To be fair, the geometry seemed to work quite well (I am still using the same specs as in the old car). Of course it would have been better if the underlying oversteer/bumpsteer issue (which span across different setups) would have been adressed, since I specifically asked for that and also brought up a solution (which they dismissed without providing an alternative). What also would have been nice is a correctly filled out spec sheet (the position of the rear anti roll bar was different to what it stated on paper..but these are details).

I talked a lot with a Nitron engineer and based on my input and experience with the previous car, we decided to try a custom solution.

The 996 GT3, GT2 and turbo are built on the Mezger block, which is very different from the, at the time, newly designed Carrera engine. The Mezger block itself still has a 964 part stamp iirc.

Furthermore, on smg putting in a 4.1 means you have to adapt the software (fyi). If you are planning on still taking the car on longer road trips I wouldn't go past 3.91.
