[gordon]

Had a great day Although it was mostly wet all day. The Strasse 944 race car hit the Armco driver was ok car was a mess. Think they should make this event in mid April as felt there was more Porsches parked up and by 3 it was deserted .. Shame as it was POT first event video to follow once I convert it cheers G Roll on the Ring at Easter

I have to disagree. Weather can be wet anytime of the year and April is no better than March in that respect. Driving last Friday in the wet was a learning experience, those that drove benifited. To say there were more parked up is not quite correct either, the format of the day has always been that it's a long day, from 9-5pm if you like. My GT3RS was on Pilot Sport Cups and the photos show the water was a handful but not impossible. My last lap was about 4.30pm, similiar to other years, by then I've had enough.

The RS Day is hardcore, usually with way better than average driving skills compared to the normal trackdays. Wet does not scare us !

Thanks to Melv and POT for another brilliant event, only 362 days left 'til the next one !

HARDCORE?!?!... I wouldn't call any track day Hardcore, I would call Nordschleife Mental though

 

[majorporsche]

I'm going to have to disagree with that as well...the lap times don't support "better than average driving skills" - especially considering the capabilities of the cars. Last year in the dry you could have counted on 1 hand the number of drivers getting lap times less than 2 minutes. I actually think there is a lull in the capabilities of the drivers compared to say 5 years ago...

 

[Melv]

'Way better than average driving skills' does not just equate with lap times Greg -it's about courtesy as well -if it's lap times you're after, go racing......as you well know, lap timing will invalidate TDO's insurance and your insurance as well.....

From a TDO:

"...both timing and data logging totally invalidates any drivers insurance and in fact leaves them open to legal action from the circuit/tdo/other users if an accident is had. TDO/Circuit is protected to some degree if driver breaks the rules...."
