I think we met at the weekend - I had the GT Silver with the Cocoa interior. we compared tyre pressures and you showed me you 'gate' mark and the drift box sticker.
I had a great day but should have taken PSM off from the start - was much quicker without but left it too late to play with it.
Nice driving - the guy in the M5 is obviously a *******!
Looking forward to Feb 1 now that I have a much better idea on the TPs and how the car drives on track.
Btw - how did you find the 'open' night organised - as good as the Porsche club?
PSM - Porsche Stability Management
While it can’t overcome the laws of physics, the revolutionary Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system does lend an added degree of balance and control to the Cayman’s mid-engine driving dynamics, inspiring surefooted confidence in corners and extreme situations.
A standard feature on the Cayman and Cayman S, PSM continuously monitors steering input, road speed, yaw velocity and lateral acceleration to calculate the actual direction of travel. If the car begins to steer off line, PSM instantly intervenes with precision brake inputs on individual wheels to help bring the car back onto the driver’s intended path.
If braking alone isn’t enough to correct the vehicle’s cornering line, PSM then calls on the Cayman’s engine management system, adjusting engine output as needed to help stabilize handling. PSM can also compensate in an instant for mid-corner changes in load resulting from deceleration or braking. When Sport mode is selected with the optional Sport Chrono Package, PSM’s threshold for intervention is raised, allowing for greater driver involvement. If you prefer driving without automatic PSM assistance, the system can be set to standby at any time. In this case, it will only intervene under heavy braking, where both front wheels exceed the ABS threshold.
For all of its technical ability, PSM goes virtually unnoticed in everyday driving situations, preserving the Cayman’s natural agility.

Thought I'd share some videos taken at the Dubai Autodrome on various circuit formats. Data aquired from a PerformanceBox.
Okay, I'm very interested in how you produce your videos. First of all, I thought the PerformanceBox is mounted on the windshield (I didn't see it in the videos)?
How do you take the data and get it into the video insert, and where does the circuit diagram come from?
How do you get the telemetry insert into your video? What kind of editing software do you use to produce the final video (w/2 camera view, etc)?
Thanks, Andrew

Great clips Zuksh. Funny how the M5 was all over the place in the turns but was clearly pulling away in the straights. Nicely produced video, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful track, so flat and smooth. I couldn't believe all the cranes in the background, man there is some construction going on there.
Somethings I saw in the videos (didn't watch all of them), no heel/toe downshifts, you could here the motor rev and the back tires squeal entering some of the turns. Your using the motor to slow you down. I've been taught, "that's what the brakes are for".
It appeared to me and maybe some of the more seasoned trackers can comment but it looked like a lot of early apexs and your not using the whole track. Again, as I've been taught," your paying for the whole track, use it".
Your clearly pushing pretty hard but if you were to use a better "racing line" you could be much faster.
Just my 2 cents,
What is the track like, slippery at all? Any dust or sand on the track? It looked pretty clean from the video. I loved the telemetry superimposed in the video, nicely done. Unfortunately we are not allowed cameras or track acquisition devices in our cars in my local PCA DE events.

I'll be going back to Dubai (was just there in December) in March. I'm trying to get a group of my work colleagues together. If you get about 14 people - you can rent the track. I want to drive that bad boy!
Now if I could only pack my CS.
