HD Video of Vmax in UK

Hi,

Just a quick note to share my video memories of the Vmax event in the UK

Some great cars on show inc various RUF's

Top Speeds were down from the last event due to a head wind and 23 degrees

PS: don't let your friends drive

Re: HD Video of Vmax in UK

Great footage, thanks Nick!

I was amazed to see how close the GT3 stayed to your Turbo, but that might be down to the problems you had on yours..

Did your friend damage anything or did he just spun out?

Thank's for sharing, I've always loved this event, I'd love to attend one day, how does one register for these events?

Nick with a tuned TT the Gt3 should have disappeared quickly into the rearview. Something is amiss

How right you are!

I've been having major issues with the car, even before the new turbos etc were added.

Basically there are no errors showing up on the Porsche diagnostics however something is causing the ecu to select a detuned map to pull the performance back which results in a maximum boost of 1 bar up to 4k rpm them it drops to about .8 bar. With the tuned map and upgraded turbos it should be around 1.4 bar even though the dash would only ever show 1.2 . Any thoughts?

Its in with the experts now so hopefully I'll own those GT3's next time
