[b734pilot]

nice video but is the gear shift automatic?? don t you enjoy more a manual gear for acing?

[EVOLUTIONVID]

good driver , if you are much hp ...

[ossme]

Nice, with all this racing, how much the maintenance of the cayman costs you ?

[zuksh]

@ossme: you're looking at roughly USD 1,000 per track day for tires, brakes, brake fluid etc..

[Riffsmith]

nice driving.. you were getting closer to the 997 towards the end

[zuksh]

Yep :-) I get even closer to the Turbo on the next lap. Check it out.

Nice driving on a beautiful track. In GTR Evo I lap in the 1:30's in a 2008 F1 car, but in my real life 986 I'd be much slower :(

Thanks for sharing.

Why did they wave you on past the 996 at the end?

[zuksh]

They take our lap times during free lapping and then line us up fastest to slowest for the timed session. The timing system got messed up that day, so they just guessed. I was faster than the guy infront, so they switched us around for the next lap so that I don't catch up with him and ruin my lap. It's more obvious in the next lap where I'm behind the Turbo (they switched me with him too). Have a look at that clip.

[zuksh]

oh, and the red one is a 997 by the way :-)

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

Is PCCB or other kind of performance brake installed?

[zuksh]

nop. Regular brakes. Pagid race pads.

[CosaNostra1096]

Pagid. Thanks!
