And of course, if you have an incident, you'll spend a LOT more to fix the Boxster (as you know!).

Lap times are about 4 seconds per lap faster in SRF3 for laps around 2:00.

On the other hand, you can't drive the SRF3 to the track!

Great info, thanks Greg.

I have been eyeing Formula First or Formula 600 as a nice track playtoy. I not planning on heavy SCCA or ??? Running, just something for fun 6 or 7 times a year with PCA
