So it’s time for another go with the Porsche people in San Pedro. The track was straighter than last time, but did include a series of very fun up and downhill chicanes covering a variety of surface changes making it much more challenging than before. Especially being a bit down on power. The competition was also way more serious than our previous outing, as the level of car and driver was taken up a notch.
After taking notes from some of the faster Roadster owners, I believe that a set of Nitto NT05 (100 TW) and a much more aggressive dose of “hucking it” into the turns might result in lower lap times. So would not blowing the 180 before the uphill section as well as overshooting the last turn leading onto the final straight. However we did learn that the car weighs 2,000 lbs.
A good time was had by all, and while driving home under your own power always counts as a win I feel that we are beyond that at this point; so then the goal moves on to not being the slowest car there; which almost didn’t happen, until the times for that WRX were posted online.
