Z4M playing with Autometrics Grand AM series Cayman race car

PCA DE event in the black group , trying out a 265 square setup in horrid 90 degree heat. On a positive note, zero limp modes for the second consecutive track weekend on 93 octane pump gas with the new injectors. This definitively tells me the undersized injectors were the problem all along on track. Now its time to step up to a higher spring rate so I'll be posting some KW V3's for sale soon. Had some interesting vintage Porsche race cars this event I've including pics below ( they even let me inspect them closely when they pull out in front of me while i'm coming into turn 1 at 145 mph lol). Also one of a brand new Cayman S that flipped coming out of turn 5. It is the first time I've ever seen a Cayman flip , it dug two wheels in the damp sand trap and there you go. Fortunately the driver was ok. I was very impressed with the strength of the C and A pillars.

Very nice, gotta love passing a vette on the straight away!
How do you like the square setup?

I like it better but it still has too much understeer . It's time for me to switch from the KWv3's to something more track oriented , I need a much stiffer rear spring. It takes way too long for rear weight transfer to occur even with the damper maxed out , it's very evident in the slide I have towards the end of the session .
