    Really enjoy watching your video again.
    Would strongly recommend you invest in a race harness as it is quite noticeable how much your upper body moves when cornering, which places more loads on your hands, wrists & arms.
    Once fitted properly, you will notice how much difference it makes. You will feel much more in what the car does & be one with the car. With less effort in trying to keep your body seated your lap times will improve being more focused on the balance & feel with the car, including the ability to react quicker in situations.
    From memory Schroth makes good race harnesses & Porsche has a factory harness bar for the Gt4 that can fitted easily.
    I tend to find that your best times are achieved when driving at 8 tenths pace, when your driving is much smoother, which may seem & look slower, but the lap times are much quicker.
    Driving at 10 tenths, usually find that the driver is overdriving the car & upsetting the balance resulting in understeering/oversteering resulting in a slower lap time.

    Good work quitting before you make a big mistake. At my local tuning days we're all usually tapped out (or retired due to mechanical issues) by 3pm - including the race cars. That means the last hour is all yours if you are still fresh enough and want to get some hot laps in with no traffic.
    And always a great bunch of people at the track. Not too much ego or snobbery

    Another great video! Any advice for mounting a GoPro in a Boxster for track days? I haven’t found a good solution yet. Would your custom cross bar work on a Boxster?

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  2 года назад +1

      I suggest you get a glued-on GoPro mount and place it anywhere behind you. That's the best solution honestly.

    Nice video! This is a 2 year old video, but do you remember… if it was 105 degrees en route to the track? Or is the track a lot hotter than the surrounding area (due to heat reflecting off the racetrack pavement, or other factors)?

      So track was hotter than outside. Quite unbearable

    Do you have a short shifter installed? Would you recommend ppf before getting into tracking?

    • @TommyLGarage
      @TommyLGarage  2 года назад

      Yes I do have the oem short shifter. It’s amazing. And no ppf needed for the track honestly.

    • @Slowcarfastbeans
      @Slowcarfastbeans Год назад

      I like PPF for the windscreen to avoid cumulative pitting and taking the rubber shots. Cost is roughly $500 to $600 installed using STEK windscreen-specific film. Cons include scratching due to debris from wiper use and potentially mild distortion depending on windscreen curvature.

      It was 105 at its hottest. Car did great.
      S60R will have issues. Haldex pump will overheat and you’ll be in front wheel drive. Ask me how I know
