I heard the guy in the Black GT3 (991.2) was a cup driver? I’m not suprised - I’ve never seen a road car going as fast on a track day - it was pretty awe inspiring - whoever you are sir, I doff my cap!!
He was pedalling hard - big respect. Seemed to also have a connection to the white Carrera GT?
Oh, and another thing - not all the GT4's were that fast - I was in my nearly standard 996 3.4 Carrera and one of them was really in my way in the bends

Lovely looking car. I was on the pit wall in the afternoon a couple of times, just trying to scope a few additional markers for braking into Old Hall and the noise that car makes on overrun is utterly sublime.
Thanks man, its got a 993 Vram lump and very little exhaust - static noise test always a worry but babs always seems to work her magic on the testers Jevvy said:

Good to see you again Jevvy. I followed Babs for a couple of laps and enjoyed the very rude noises her car made. Particularly the pops and bangs it let out when changing down for Hizzy's. Her driving was top notch as usual. Upnorthgt3 said:
ah well that will probably be me - the car is fast, but I am not - hope I didn't get in the way too much

I was taking my Godson out for the first time on track (with me) so I like to think being right on the tail of a GT4 impressed him, so having you there was a nice reference could probably have done with a bit of your tuition!!
Taking bookings for next year

You too mate, miss you having the 964 with you. I'll pass on your comments to babs thegoose said:
Yes, similar number plates on the two cars (RAD 30 on the car on track I think), Supercup driver apparently - I only found this out from the Cars & Coffee Liverpool Facebook group.

thank you for the note on my driving, I was trying to scare my passengers so it wasn't particularly tidy, more daft and used the grass a few times which they showed me the black and white track limits flag for (sorry Mr Palmer..)

and yes the CGT was mine, didn't have time to take it on track although it will be out on track during the summer as usual. I did take my old yellow cgt on track at some of the previous RS days a few years ago which some of you long timers may remember.
it was a great day with the best driving standards ive seen on a trackday, already looking forward to the next!
