Lifting the nearside front, Is that the work of PDCC?

I haven't got a clue what's causing it but:

A) The car looks fabulous
B) Congratulations for giving your new Porsche the full beans

driver too heavy ??

I think it's the weight of that rear spoiler.

Wheeeeeeelies.

I've seen many pics of 991s cocking a front wheel.

I reckon it's just the massive power and traction? Where you early on the throttle, at that point?

I was still turning in at that point and not fully on the throttle. I will say that it has got massive amounts of grip, i was hoping to do a bit of drifting but coming out of the hairpins in 2nd gear with my foot flat to the floor i couldnt get the rear to budge even though i was planting it earlier and earlier through the corner. The only time i could get the rear to go under power was on cold tyres, the other method of putting it into a deliberate drift was getting me black flagged as you now have the fun Police on every corner at Bedford and they can quite clearly see you are trying to drift. How times have changed, 3 years ago they were holding up number boards and scoring me on my efforts in my M3

Looks like the front ARB is holding the inside front up as I doubt it would run out of droop so easily. Rear doesn't look excessively soft. It's not really a problem, F1 cars often do this too.

Stiff chassis + set up + commitment.

I can understand if it was oversteer or coming over a crest as in your pics but this was a flat corner. I suppose there was a fair bit of commitment

Golfs are famous for it but at the other end (as you would expect - Rear in the air. Stiff suspension, chassis, normal. My Imp would do it all the time.....
front wheel.......rear engine..........

That brings some memories back for me as well. That said, the front end of an Imp had a mind of its own at the best of times and that was with a couple of breeze blocks in there.

Stiff car. High speed. Sharp turn. Grippy tires. Physics.
