Nice driving, do you prefer the 911 rear engine Porsche or mid engine cayman? Do the club sport drive different than the cup cars?
@MikeSkeenRacing Ай бұрын
@@evanbordash8580 they are two very different cars, despite having the same engine. The Cayman feels like a streetcar with a cage, largely because of the PDK. The Cup feels much more visceral with the sequential, better suspension, larger tires, better aero. The Cup is more fun in my mind. And honestly, I think the Cayman was better before it got the 4.0
@evanbordash8580 Ай бұрын
@ thanks Mike. I have a 2006 Carrera 4 that has all the 997 cup exterior parts on it and love it. It has the h pattern shifter and a 4.0 engine upgrade. If I’m at vir when your there I’d love for you to drive it! Full cage and new aim dash

I like this car. You look, give a couple hints, and it starts turning. A little more aero would help the 150mph braking but we all need a little drama ;). Great driving as usual. Your precision really brings out the pace.

Génial!!! Le pilote de la Porsche 911 a dû se poser des questions...Autant de puissance pour un résultat équivalent à l'Alpine (300ch pour un peu plus de 1000 kgs). Bravo au pilote de l'Alpine qui nous a fait vivre de supers moments. Super pilotage 👍

It’s surprising how well this car is dealing with the curbs in the wet. Is that something that’s common with all the GT3s on these tires or is it just the Mercedes being such a stable car in general.
@MikeSkeenRacing 2 ай бұрын
@@cademckee7276 it’s not uncommon for apex curbs to be useful even in the wet because the inside wheels are so light. Really depends if it’s a corner that benefits more from going wide to find grip, if you need to put down power at that moment, etc.
