Here's a couple of laps from DN13. I gave my mate Dan in his E46 M3 a 20-second head start and, as you can see, he gave me a good run for my money considering the power difference. Conditions were amazing. My tyres (MPSS) were a big hindrance and I reckon the car would have been significantly quicker on the standard Dunlops.

Maybe 20 seconds was a little to generous

Brett had the car on Thursday and did well against some awesome cars.
The Nissan GTR's were the standout car for me.
Some of them had biblical power attached to some very brave drivers.
Despite some esteemed car park company cesil pulled plenty of attention.
Not bad for a 12 year old coupe with room for your full set of Wilson's!!

You are right about biblical power - my car runs around 640/620 and demolishes most things in a straight line. I am not sure that you need to be so brave, though. Stick the car in RRR mode, especially with the Litchfield race map, and the only limiting factor is your disbelief. The computer intervenes a lot, especially when you are running road tyres as I was. As you can see from the video, we do a 7.57 on road tyres, no cage, etc and it wasn't that strenuous.Originally posted by cslsuperfan View PostOne day was enough for me.

HOWEVER...
In terms of fun around the Ring, my old CSL beats my GTR hands down.Comment

Just been reading someone else's report. He was there driving an old Mk 2 Golf with lots of Aero? Nigel's the name. Very very fast. Managed 7.45s... Did you come across him?Comment

I don't know him personally, but they guy with the Golf that looks like it's held together by sticky tape is there at most DN events. Somewhat of a Ring veteran. The car looks a little dubious in places but, as stated, he's proper quick in it. Always fun to see him come up behind very expensive cars and then harry them until they let him past.
Terry, the GT3 looks lovely.Comment

Nige is a really nice guy - the Golf has had some serious hours put into it - apparently 300+bhp and sub 1000kg. I follow him for a while in my video above - then he lets me past but stays with me for the whole lap - he must have done 1000's of laps - he's always there when I'm there, lolOriginally posted by Stumpy View Post

Nige took me for a lap in that golf back in 2010 (my first trip). Really nice guy.
That golfs been developed over the years into a real weapon.
Anyway, am definitely going next year. Went twice over the last 12 months in the CSL. Managed a total of 1 lap due to bad weather!

So 991 is a lot easier than the old 996 GT3 where you have to work it or just conditions and track knowledge improvement???Originally posted by terryb View Post

A bit of both - there is no doubt the 991 is a fair bit faster, but it was my 1st time on track in this car and it has no buckets/ harnesses. My 996 in comparison was a full on track focused car and I knew it inside out after 5.5 yrs.Originally posted by Pip1968 View Post
Mods planned for the 991 to make more track focused
