It was a great weekend. We lucked out with dry weather sat & sun morning. Caymans where well represented in the lower run groups (green & yellow) but I didn't notice any in the upper groups. The car is a joy to drive and very competitive with the 911-996-997-turbo, 914 & 968 in my class. I usually started in the first 1/3 of my group and no one passed me during the entire event. And yes I was looking in my mirrors lol.

The bowl was interesting but not quite the pucker test I thought it would be. My first run on it was dry and I gradually worked up my entry speed to ~110 & my best speed at the end of the straight was ~144

The rain was fun too. Started very slow & gradually worked up to a good clip. I could feel the rear end starting to slide & could rotate the car nicely with the throttle.

The most interesting run was the last one. They combined our group (yellow) with the black group (2nd highest). They let the black group on first & the us 10-15 sec later. I was 4 th in line in our group & really wanted to get close to the black guys to observe their line & see if I could stay with any of them. I got by the 3 yellow cars on the first lap (2 Carrerra S & a 911). Much to my suprise I caught and passed 3 of the black group cars! I lapped several cars and just before we got the checker I saw a white gt3 cup car behind me looking to pass.

He came over to chat after we pulled in and let me know that I help him up for 1/2 a lap. He was a little pissed. I apologised and let him know that I would be sure to check mirrors more often. Then he paid me a compliment saying that I was really fast considering I was driving on street tires. He was also supprised on how fast the car was on the straights.

All in all a really great weekend. Fantastic friends, great instruction & safe fun!

Can't wait for the Glen in August!
