Went to the track today and just had to take it out. First impression was I had the seat in a useless position for tracking. Car was warmed up from 20 minute drive to get there so took it easy most of first lap (track mode). Eased it onto straight and squeezed it down as I unwound. Pulled hard and got a power cut between 2 shifts at WOT. Was this wheel spin?
3 laps total as almost empty.

SRF is expensive, but it has a very high wet boiling point so you only have to touch your brakes annually. On my old racecar I'd do a heavy bleed once a year. Coming up in HPDEs 20 years ago people would tell you to bleed the brakes in the paddock after every track day! I hate bleeding brakes so SRF it is.

*** engine cars can apply huge power on turns but my 19 RS has less hp and tq as Z06. Guessing Z can spin them. Track temp was 85 degrees on a 60 degree day. My tires never got to temp. But needed to know if others had tire spin. I only had time for 3 laps today. Need prob 2, 4 6 days to sort myself out.

Porsche nannies very subtle. Most nannies cut fuel and I am pretty darn sure Porsche nannies METER fuel as well as modulate brakes. They will flash some dash lights if annoyed. And will downright save yer butt if you screw up.
