DJM Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 WRX track day in 2011. I'm driving Westfield Clubman (240hp Honda S2000 engine and 6 speed, 620kg, aerodynamics of a brick). Having fun trying to catch 996 C4 (dressed up to look like 996 GT3 RS). I thought I was doing really well keeping up with a GT3 RS until I discovered it's a C4 underneath!Chatting to the Owner afterward, he owns a genuine 996 GT3RS but created the clone to go racing in.From about 3 minutes on, I get close!

Jimmy Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Good bit of driving, you're really working it Doug. I was waiting for those side windows to be blown off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 28July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Thx, was a ball of fun to drive. Sounded awesome, rev limiter at 9300 rpm. With those side "doors", they flap around a bit but the problem is you take them off and your head gets ripped off in the ensuing cyclone. Shame the sound and video are not quite synced.

MaxzmusSC Posted 28July, 2014 Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Was the 996 all race prepped? Very surprised here too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 28July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 28July, 2014 Yeah, the 996 appeared fairly well setup for track. Cage, seats, harnesses, semi slicks. Appeared to handle well so I assume some work done underneath. Mechanically sounded pretty much standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 29July, 2014 Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 No wonder you were catching him. Some of his lines were a bit ordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 29July, 2014 Author Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 Agreed but having done a bmw drive day with instructors recently, I have some new knowledge to apply as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airhead Posted 29July, 2014 Report Share Posted 29July, 2014 Your lines were pretty good so just need more horsepower now. He he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
