Trackday by Schnelle Schwaben
This orange and white GT3 RS stood out a couple times in the morning as a very capable driver/car combination, so I was happy when they appeared in front of me for a bit of trackday chasing. There's also a 992 GT3 right on my tail, so we had a very fun and fast group all of the sudden!

Are you happy with the Endless me22/girodisc combination?

[@RobSpoel]

I'm overall not super happy with the brakes on the 997 at the moment. The car is very unstable in the rear under heavy braking and every now and then the ABS system seems to engage what some people describe as "ice mode", where the pedal goes hard and you lose about 50% brake performance. Very scary when it happens. I'm planning to retrofit a better limited slip diff (the OEM one is probably worn open now) and hopefully that will alleviate some of the issues so that I can make a better judgement of different brake rotor/pad combinations.
