9 sessions on these fronts, RE71RS ain't cheap
I met a guy that tore his Z06 up at VIR a few weeks ago. Thankfully he had track insurance. Unfortunately it was $900 plus the $12K deductible.
Swapping back to my track tires and pads last night for an Auto-X later today:

Yes…. 2012 Cayman R (987.2 with the 9A1 semi-dry sump motor).
Pimptastic GT4 RS was lined up in front of me today:

I wound up getting 3rd place today; behind a well-driven SSP Boxster race car with a Pro Solo driver, and a GT4 RS…different ‘fabulous’ one than the one in the pic above; the guy who beat me was a few cars behind me in line.

I’m surprisingly OK with those guys beating me…PAX index helped, but those guys are great drivers in much, much faster cars. Happy to make the podium today.

Yeah….
And I know, I know… feels like I’m cheating with that transmission, but it is much faster on track. I agonized over that or a true manual 6-speed when I ordered the car and changed the configuration back-and-forth a few times; finally locked in on the PDK on the last day before my car entered production because I knew this car would be spending most of its life on track.
Nah, if you knew you were going to race it the PDK choice is the obvious one
I spent a solid year of seeing pictures like this assuming it was all photoshopped, because no one could be that stupid in real life, could they?
Imagine my surprise when I found out that people actually do this stuff, on purpose.
One of them lives in my neighborhood. Thankfully he’s some stupid kid that either sold whatever piece of shit it was or moved out of his parents house because I haven’t seen it in a while
I've seen some silly fads come and go, but most of them were cheap and low effort. The stance thing takes significant effort, isn't cheap, and it makes the car barely driveable. Plus it (subjectively) looks stupid. That's a pretty poor ratio of pros/cons and yet it still caught on. I'll never understand it, or the whole squatted truck thing.
Buddy came down and hung with my boys, he's finishing up some carbon upgrades to this beast.
I like driving a six speed manual but LOVE the PDK it shifts so freaking fast. I prefer the PDK now over a manual.
I’m not sure I’ll ever understand squatted trucks either. That seems as stupid as the stanced cars
