Here’s a copy of my event report on the CNY Subies message boards:

First off, big thanks to Garrison for letting me borrow his chase cam setup for the weekend. I’ve got some great videos up on YouTube showing a dry and very wet run around Watkins Glen. The g-sensor data is what I was really looking for. It looks as though the Porsche will do ~1.2G peak and about ~.9G sustained in the corners. However, in the wet I couldn’t get much above .7G without spinning (check out the wet #1 video for some excitement).

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get any data on g-loading under braking. I ran into brake issues pretty early in the first day (my pads are nearly done, and I was overcooking them pretty easily), so you’ll see that my braking points are VERY early.

They did do some passing exercises in the first day, which was pretty fun. They basically paired us off with “similar lap time” cars, and had us pass and re-pass every corner – with a focus on trying to do late passes under braking. I was paired up with with a 968 (basically my car + 100hp) the first time, an ’09 Evo the second time, and finally a ’06? 997 Turbo the last time. The run with the Turbo was interesting, I had to stop & wait for him in the 5/6/7 section of the track, while he couldn’t hit the gas on the two main straights. I have some good video of this (including flames out the Evo’s exhaust), but it won’t be up for another few days as I had to upload the card to a friends laptop to free up some space.

The two videos here are of just a “normal” session in the dry, and then from our final session on the last day (where it decided to rain). I was running my RA-1′s for the dry sessions, but I switched to my street tires (Kuhmo MX’s) for the wet session.
