WGA Posted 28February, 2023 Report Share Posted 28February, 2023 Had to laugh at his comments how owners will prattle on about rebound settings, etc just like they do about PTS and deviated stitching. He managed to describe Rennlist in one sentence! I was offered an allocation for a 3RS but turned it down in favour of a 4RS because, just like him, I thought I would not be able extract the best from the car. About the only thing I play with is tyre pressure. I like to just jump in and drive and have no inclination to fiddle with all the different knob and dials. Besides, I don’t think my 60+ year old “butt-o-meter’ would be sensitive enough these days to feel the differences. But good luck to those who get one.

cafe_racer Posted 28February, 2023 Report Share Posted 28February, 2023 I’d love something like thermal club here. Guess we don’t have the population to support it. And we are blessed by some great tracks that you can get on pretty regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a track car with adjustable shocks (bump and rebound), camber, caster and brake bias. It felt a bit soft in the rear when I first got it, dialled it up a bit. In the few years I owned it, I never touched anything else and it never even had a wheel alignment. It was fast and fun and it worked so I didn’t want to make it slower 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGA Posted 28February, 2023 Report Share Posted 28February, 2023 I would too. When Lyndsey Fox took over PI, I half expected he would do something like that with the track such as providing garaging facilities and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgy Posted 28February, 2023 Report Share Posted 28February, 2023 I am sure with time we will look back favourably on this RS for the engineering marvel it is! However the case use is somewhat maligned, absolutely optimised for the track, yet so few will ever see that regular use, and for those that are looking for that kind of pace? You can be faster & safer in various factory race cars as Matt suggests, whilst banking some $$$ Like @WGA I know a few fellow club members I race with whom declined this RS in favour of the GT4RS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 1March, 2023 Report Share Posted 1March, 2023 They'll sell them all regardless. Lots of people with plenty of cash and plenty of space to store these, the majority will never see the track. Destined to be a big money future classic I'm sure as the next one will more than likely be hybrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that's the official place where the measuring is conducted. Inside every puffer vest is a measuring tape, don't bother going if you have forgotten your own tape (last time I shared I got a weird rash).

Some Nimby will move right next door after it has been in operation 10 years and kick up enough stink that it eventually gets shut down.

If you could find a natural amphitheatre big enough to hold a track that would also be a goer (like Luddenham). You 'just' need to own all the land on the hills surrounding it too.

I believe it is around 5000 acres and it is right alongside the noisy freeway. We will see. I don't think it will come together quickly if it does. sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
