a little vid of my day in Spa
keep in mind, Not competition, not a track prepared Cayman
in fact mine is detuned for tax reasons to 211 bhp instead of the usual 245.
And am on 17 inch fat narrow tires, 235/50 instead of 19 inch 265 withs..

First track day ever so obviously not pushing hard and moving over to let the fast crowd by.
Lacked the power on the straights , especially going up hill



First session got 7 laps in 3m33.30 best
4 laps 3m26.97

Did need fresh rear pads, had forgotton to check those,
Porsche clinic onsite, luckily they had plenty of pads with them

Did not go through Eau Rouge as fast as last year, i think that was slighty overcooked and underestimated..
It's not an easy corner, and you can't really downshift mid way with a manual..
3rd would be to much revs and run out of revs on the end of the uphil
4th is good, but my gator lacks grunt to pull out fast in that gear

In any case , it's a regular production 07 2.7 cayman, not race prep, bit heavy and so am I :P
