have you seen the new surface though?  You could replace your shocks with solid steel and still drink tea going 100 on the straight

I have fond childhood memories of my dad driving his 911 flat out on a bendy mountain road in Wales steering with his knees, doughnut in one hand and coffee in the other...jam & scalding liquids flying everywhere...what doesn't kill you...

I've got very bored with AutoX recently, too much waiting around not enough balls out speed.

I know I'll get crap for saying this but autox feels like gokarts for big cars.  whats the point if you cant get out of second gear.

Yes, but the road course is... well pretty boring honestly DP.  I thought PIR was pretty cool, until I went to Hallett and Fernley.  I know.. its home track, and I need to get my ass out there and get some time in.  I just wish there was some elevation change.. some blind corners.. something more exciting!

my term for it is 'picnic in a parking lot'.  you spend the whole day on a piece of asphalt for a total of 4 minutes of tracktime, give or take.  and there is no opprotunity to work on things or experiment.  autocross does have a purpose - to see what the car does when you cross the limits, with only cones to hit.  don't want to be doing that at 136mph braking for turn 10   at a typical trackday i get 5-6 20-minute sessions and i learn something new every time i go out, even now wth over 5,000 laps at PIR alone.  it certainly isn't boring for me.  just have to have an agenda and a means for measuring results.  datalogging is essential in my opinion.
