Welcome! Lovely car.

Is that last pic at Sebring?


Eta-
Doh! Ignore that. I'm on my phone but have just made the sign out.

That surface looks like it'll be hard on tyres?

Thanks guys,

Here are a few more pics from my car in different times.... The car now sits all grey and only GT3RS decal in silver. Roll bar will be re-painted silver after the winter.
Will also post the mods list, for those looking for a dual purpose car.













And the day it came home:




Here are the video links:

Sebring is hard on everything, not the most equipment friendly track.


Here is another video, from Winterfest, I couldn't get a good run as my alignment was completely off, suspension parts were all loose, and I lost 2 out of the 3 running days, fun for sure, just not really fast this day.
enjoy

Welcome. I see the front winglets , are they the 4 RS ones or did you get them made. Notice any difference.

Lovely night shot with the glowing brakes, do you have night track days so to speak there ?

Hello Dave,

The dive planes are from a 997 R design, but made to fit the 997.2 bumper. I have someone that makes all carbon fiber parts for me. Bumpers, fenders, etc ... extremely high quality, but quite expensive also. A lot of people here in America ask em to produce the 997.1 GT3 dive planes and so I did a 15 unit batch a few months ago. They do work up in high speed corners, but still need proper data.
We have one running group at Sebring, During the 48hs event. It's a very nice experience.

Regards,
Eddie

Welcome. GT3 looks lovely in that colour (or should I say color)... What are the other interesting looking vehicles in your garage?

Welcome along, as a matter of interest what is the basic cost of a trackday Stateside?

I mean just the track fee, as I would imagine consumables are going to be heavy on a surface like Sebring... driving

It really depends on the events and also if you're an instructor or not.
As a instructor you only pay U$50.00 for the weekend, while as a regular driver you will pay around U$ 300.00/day, so 600 for the weekend.
On a event like Winterfest or 48hs of Sebring, where you have a 4 day event it's usually a little more, but not much.

That is still good value if you take into account the size of Sebring as a circuit. If you compare that to say Silverstone GP, then you would be looking at around £300-350 for a day.

Right,

Not bad, I believe you can't compare the prices with exchange rates, we basically pays the same amount of $$$

Lovely bit of kit there.

What's the cowboy sticker you have on the front wings?
