Roebling Road, near Savannah. GA is dead flat, and a fun track. It is a sweeper after sweeping corner, and more sweepers, then a straight. It is the middle track on my track decals on my car. The biggest challenge there was the oppressive heat. It was 90+ degrees and 90+% humidity 130+ heat index. I was soaked in sweat and drank 25 bottles of water. At Laguna Secca I was standing in the garage and thought I feel a bit cold, I am going to stand in the sun. And it was July! It was almost like cheating to be that cool.
Hallett is a fun and technical track. I have done it enough times that I know the lines. I had a new Ferrari with a beginner driver behind me. He had hired an instructor, and I was slowly leaving them. The instructor even told the guy, follow the 911, and take the same lines he is taking. By the end of the day he was able to get past me with over twice the HP and modern brakes and traction control and milisecond shifts. I was having more fun in my analog car. I have driven a new 911S and Cayman S around that track. With the PDK it is just astonishing. I can brake way deeper, and the transmission reads my mind. And the power level is astonishing.
