OK bumping this thread up. I am going to Sebring this weekend in my Cayman, I haven't been there is a while - I had a single day in May 2020 and a weekend in Feb 2020 and that is it.

I had been stuck for years at 2:43 in my Boxster, and it took a while for me to get used to the Cayman (purchased in March 2019) and to be able to match those times, and in Feb 2020 I was able to get my first sub 2:40 lap at Sebring:

When I went back in May for a single day, I was able to run a 2:40 but not a 2:39. I have various excuses, traffic, heat, etc... but the fact is I didn't put it together This was a fun session chasing these Caymans, and one other difference, I am on a 285/35/18 Hankook R-S4 rear tire vs 275/40/18 in the previous video.

With it being cooler weather, and also I have added a "big wang" (plus Cayman R splitters although they are pretty small) to the Cayman, I am hoping (and curious) to see how the car does. I am hoping to take some more time off by having more confidence and speed in T1 and T17, and maybe rolling some more speed through T16. At VIR this past November I had to move all my braking up as I seemed to have more braking power and stability, which I have heard can come from a wing and I think that may help me in T16 which is a big trailbrake corner for me.

For comparison, I was 2 seconds faster at Roebling and 3 seconds faster at VIR after adding the wang, so I am curious to see what happens at Sebring.



I will report back next week, hopefully with some faster times. Who else has some 2020 track vids, post them up!

Anyone else going this weekend to Sebring with Suncoast PCA?
