The end of season two for me in my 968, it's been great, I have got more confident with the car and various new circuits, the entrants are nice people and the racing has been enjoyable every time, my lap times are getting better, the car has been fettled but.........now is this normal I wonder.....or do I need counselling?

M3s dominate and it's difficult to get into the top 10 overall so class wins are never going to happen.....I need a faster car or a series where the racing is closer......I have thought about a cupcar as I want to race a 911 but driving a road 458, I have also started looking at 430 challenge cars....a recent 360 challenge has put me in the mood.

So big dilemma......it's not directly a cost thing which is fortunate it's more moving my experience on another level.

Or do I try another season at CSSC or a season of Porsche Club on slicks/wets.....that would be new I guess.

HELP!

I seem to have sparked a thread here about CSSC Modern Classics, my original point being that I am not finding for me personally that close a racing experience. After the first few laps its follow my leader until I get over taken by the faster cars.

The plus side as a beginner (just 18 months racing now) has been space to learn car control, experience all that is involved in a race day and gain confidence in picking up speed. I know I have more to give in this car but after coaching, vbox etc etc not much more. I could lighten the car a bit I also know.

I actually think the pitstop's are fine as I am quite quick with Hans and often make up 2 or 3 places by being so which I do like so wouldn't want to change that process, having a crew with me helps that.

I do think that the class I am in should be max 3 litre but I also accept I am prob not quick enough in my own car yet to push it to the max.

My possible inclination towards PCGB is because of tv coverage which will help me with sponsorship I reckon, I did quite well these past two years but feel I can scale up with tv coverage.

John B, re your question on the 968 it's a keeper if I do CSSC next year, it's also a keeper if I decide to do Porsche Club, but I might sell it if I swap the type of racing I do. A lot has been spent on it so it's good to go for next season whilst dry stored over the winter. D
