  • that is not a turbo its the tranny boy. These guys shift a lot beacuse they are smart and use engine braking in combination with the brakes the latter effect makes one faster.

  • Set apart the drivers'skill (I ignore it and no offence for anyone),the 993 seems clearly faster in flat out sections,but slower entering into turns and may be with a lower braking power.

    In burn out accelerations are similar up to the 3rd gear I dare say.

    Can smo tell me sth about the bhp output gap

    between these cars and the approx.top speed on the bankings ? Thx.

see all

  • Congrats on the podium 2011 PCA Race at Daytona

  • You know RSR14, watching this vid makes me wonder about the behavior of some of those other PCA drivers... It looks like a lot of those guys need to use their mirrors more. I mean, it's a club race for fun; you got into some pretty tight squeezes through the infield...

  • A glorified track day for 911 based cars.... fantasy sport...

    I'd rather see an ALMS GT-2 race for all comers..... 430GT's, etc...

    Snore...

    No spectators  means cheaper event insurance....

    Even the rich PCA types appreciate that..

  • Real cars on a real race track in America? Shame there are no audience at the stands!?

  • Awesome videos man... hoping someday to get into road racing, I live southeast of Lime Rock Park.

  • 991 gt3 cup car right lol cup alone i wantd to knwo if u change interior for racin lol

  • Don't you just love that GT2.

    The old fart still has enough muscle.

    I'd even buy a replica of that just for the looks, those hips are so sexy.

    Now if they just made a racing version of that GT2 RS...

    Very cool vid by the way, professional driving, tops.

  • @tyresmoke yes, you are right; compression forces help slow the car down, but in racing, that is not the primary function for decelerating the car.

    but rowing through the gears is simply a waste of energy and unneeded stress placed upon the clutch and transmission

  • @JUMPMAN23MCM it's both, having the engine rev as you try to brake:

    1. you prevent driving (in this case rear) whells locking

    2. you assist in slowing the car down, compression forces in the engine affect the transmission.

  • Looks like the 993 has a power advantage; most likely from the turbos.
