Sp3 right? You too!

@ yeah! It’s just an E car as it sits now. Hope to have some more SP3 go-fast parts this time next year!

The Cayman is a great platform. A variation of driving technique in the break zone as it can be trailed quite a bit harder and longer than the 911 platform. I'd first decide which gen platform you are most interested in. 987.2 or 981 would be my suggestion as 987.1 are fun but not as competitive as they used to be from a racing standpoint. 981 chassis is going to be a bit better being newer, but it also has aluminum composite/alloy material which means risk for more expensive damage. Find something that's already competitive and talk to some of the top shops, wherever the car is situated. It's a small community so the top level shops know each other and can tell you about the builds.

@@tbsports5658 I'm inclined to go for a 981 chassis. I'm guessing the PDK and ABS are a bit better than the 987 platform. What sort of damage issues have you seen from the 981 chassis? One thing I've heard of is the front shock strut tower breaking with a hard impact of curbing or pot hole.

@@Streak986 facts 😜

Thanks. I assume you found the race videos with this car. It’s an H class car in pca club racing. Allowed mods are in the rule book which can be found online. Obviously the car is stripped and caged. But aside from that, standard cayman s motor with factory tune and factory 6 speed. 2-way MCS suspension is the big change and race exhaust. Factory brakes, etc. Really not a ton of mods allowed on “letter class” cars.

@@tbsports5658 awesome thank you for taking the time to respond!

@@OpticalToxinanytime. If you have more questions lmk

@@tbsports5658 Since you're offering, how serious is the oil starvation issue on these cars? From what I've read, the 987.1 has it, and Porsche did some modifications to fix it on the 987.2, but they didn't fully solve it like they could have done with a dry sump system. I am looking into the deeper oil pan kits but nothing out there that really does what a dry sump system would do. The dry sump retrofit into these cars is something like $10k. Really took that for granted on my C6 Corvette.

@@OpticalToxinon the 987.1, I’d consider it serious for race cars and aggressive track use. I know too many people needing new motors on the 987.1 s. This car had a rebuilt motor when I bought it and needed another not long into its life. There are more experts if you join the spec cayman fb group who can share more. I decided not to go for spec cayman class due to this risk. Racing spec boxster now. Even if those go, they are way less expensive. I would definitely not spend 10k on some retrofit kit as I’ve yet to see anything actually effective in our racing circles. It’s looking like the best option is a manuf refurb from Porsche which is not cheap. 987.2 is another story. Those motors are pretty much like the 981 and we haven’t seen huge issues there.

I'm in a Spec Boxster.

@@tbsports5658 awesome driving!

@@GT3Driver150thanks. First time with the boxster at njmp and first time on the new pavement so took longer than I was hoping to get up to speed.

@@tbsports5658 the new pavement feels like there is endless grip

@@GT3Driver150I wish I felt that confident with it. Seat time definitely needed… I didn’t understand the new t1 for a bit. Kept driving it like the old t1 for a long while.

GY have a stiffer sidewall. Wear was about the same, 6 days. GY need a heat cycle to grip up but once they do I really liked them, maybe a touch more than the cup2. I really liked the feel of leaning on the GY with the stiffer side wall.

Hey Dan. I did use the "south and east" config. It worked first time out. Although I think if you've used it for a different option, I think it might not work at which point you need to configure a new track. Not ideal.

Thanks. Cup 2

@@tbsports5658 Super well done! Car was making some solid power? Good beginning of braking points.

@@rlclaveau car felt great. Stock power but gt4s are fun cars.

@@tbsports5658 Totally! Had mine there this past weekend, got down into the 1:58's in the morning sessions but 4 seconds slower in the afternoon heat

@@rlclaveau yup temps definitely affect track conditions and lap times.

Thanks man!

Thanks. This is set intentionally with -7.5% power, +250kg and 23g of fuel with 90degree temp to simulate the GTB1 class in PCA club racing. Unfortunately the clubsport is WAY faster than the GTB1 class ;-)

@@tbsports5658 yeah I drove it not that great trying to do my best before Gridlife at the and of April.

I'll leave it to Carl to explain what he's doing out there😉 I know the story...

I was track announcer there for a few years and met him and his wife they are great folks !!! Who are you?? Class and car ??😀😀🏁

@@arthurmchugh5184 I’m nobody 😜 Just having a little fun! But seriously I’m 08 in H class. This was my first race in pca club racing. Had a great time!🏁

@@tbsports5658 great !! I never took that step ,I did drivers ED for 10 years and it was a great time!! Here is my hot rod that I sold a few months ago! ruclips.net/video/oaIYffwo1DI/видео.html

@@arthurmchugh5184 car looks great!

Thanks. Lots of traffic but it’s a busy de at the glen! I bought it that way but you just remove the nut and recenter the right wiper to the center position.

This was my first track car that I owned. Had taken out a 992 s at Barber and audi r8 v10 at COTA but those were in my very early days. I have an 06 Cayman S race car and they are similar in lap times. The GT4 seems so refined. Very fast. Race car is lively and raw and loud, similar weight balance as you would expect but you find grip through the tires and suspension to get the same pace out of a much less powerful car.

Thanks for the info the GT4 seems so balanced and stable through the corners. I run a 991.1 GT3 on the track and love it but I’m looking forward to feeling the GT4 to compare.

@@GT3Driver150 It is very balanced. Can be pushed pretty safely compared to older rear engine 911s but pretty different characteristics to drive it "fast". GT4 is a touch understeery until you push. You can get snap oversteer from 911 or cayman platform but harder to do it in the cayman.

I was thinking afterwards what’s the point of publishing this🤣 I jump from race to race so while I had the pace to lead I didn’t qualify as well as I could’ve which always makes for trouble mid pack…

❤ the timing though…😜

I wouldn’t have made another lap I don’t think…

😅😅😅😅😅

Thanks. Hankook z214

Thanks. These were Cup2 and Ferodo DS3.12 pads.

Good luck and have fun. Let me know how it goes.

Not when you can’t see😜

Thanks Frank. I agree. This was the more or less the first full day with the car and I was struggling to get comfortable with it. I realized after the fact that the tires were massively flat spotted from an ice pedal and then lock up moment the weekend before. No wonder it felt like my teeth were going to fall out... The left front brake pad was completely worn while the left front looked hardly used. They were basically brand new coming into the day. Didn't trust the tires. First time heel toeing. Ultimately, lots of things going on here, some of which are specific to the driver and others driver induced due to lack of trust and the car just behaving differently than I'm used to coming off a street GT4. Lots of excuses but bottom line is I have some work to do.

BTW, the brake trace is not the actual brake trace. I need to work that out. Curious your feedback, the car felt very unsettled over curbs and non-compliant which made me very tentative. I've watched closely other videos through the bus stop and most had some steering angle going in but it really felt like over those curbs I needed to wait a long time for the car to make sure all 4 are down before applying throttle. Could be again, lack of trust.

@@TamerBowling That explains a lot. Thanks for that perspective!

yup, not a great session. At least every session is a learning, regardless of how bad it is. New tires are here so that should help.

I got this issue known as ice pedal. It’s an algorithm in the abs that when it thinks all 4 are sliding, it limits braking to 25%. So the pedal just felt like a brick all of a sudden and no real braking power. Was a scary moment. Apparently it’s a known issue with this and some other cars. You basically have to learn how to apply the brake a little differently. Need an initial squeeze and then hard. Can’t slam the brake, which I didn’t think I was doing anyway. Annoying way to learn a new car but better that there wasn’t a wall in front of me…

@@tbsports5658 holy fuck that is really scary man I wouldn’t be able to drive the car after that I saw something was wrong and you weren’t braking that’s why I asked. I would look in to how to get it fixed. At this point might as well disconnect ABS and drive without it I don’t know what to tell you just WOW

@@IgorekGQ it was definitely sketchy and gave me little confidence this past weekend at the glen. There are a couple of tricks to reduce the risk. We programmed the system to think I have pccb which is supposed to help. Yaw sensor ultimately is the think that feeds the abs signal so I’m gonna get it checked out to see if it’s disconnected with the tc switch off.

Can’t fully disable the abs without a bunch of other things getting f’d up.

@@tbsports5658 yeah I know exactly what you are talking about. Tesla Has Open Diff and the way the ABS system works on the Model 3 Performance is flawless no one ever achieved even close to what Tesla did with open Diff.

Thanks. Low 58s This was my first time there and with new to me car.

@@tbsports5658 super I’ll be doing North on June 12 hopefully no rain :)) got a lot of new stuff on the car.

@@IgorekGQ nice. You never know with the weather. Good luck! The weekend I was there, it was terrible Fri and Sat. Sun was the only nice day so had just those runs to figure the place out in the dry. It’s a short track after all 😉. Haven’t done any other configurations yet as it was first time at pocono ever.

@@IgorekGQ do you like the wide line in turn 4? I was trying the shallower line and experimenting a bit. Not sure it was super effective.

@@tbsports5658 it’s the right turn?

🐮

Thanks! Following in your footsteps😉

😁 ok I sold the GT4 and bought a full race car. This race car had an engine rebuild so I need to break it in. Working to get comfortable with the car and hopefully race soon.
