Porsche Cayman Trackers

[Shaun]

1 - 2 years ago there seemed to be quite a few Cayman guys tracking their cars but who have since disappeared. I hear Antoinette has stopped too?

Anyone know who currently tracks their Cayman or Cayman S or R? I no longer see any at TCC trackdays or even PCS trackdays. Find it strange because I see quite a lot on the roads and they look quite done up. Anyone know the guys in the Cayman community and the main reason they don't track anymore?

Perhaps upgraded their rides? I know of 3 guys who sold their Caymans, 1 changed to C63, another to an M3 and another to a GTR

Re: Porsche Cayman Trackers

ok.. but what about the guys moving from other cars into caymans? None? but can't be cos I see quite a few on the roads. Must be none like tracking I suppose..

Hmmm I'm sure there would be, perhaps they haven't found this mod-crazed-trackoholic forum yet? Hehehehehe

Re: Porsche Cayman Trackers

If anyone has friends who like driving, who drive caymans, but have reservations about tracking somehow, please ask them what's holding them back... I'm curious to know. Thanks

Cos in contrast to the Caymans, I see a whole lot of 911 based range. Yet the Caymans have such great balance to them...

AFAIK, the EFI Caymans with the M97 engines have an issue with oil starvation and need a fair bit of work to be done to correct it. The DFI Caymans with the 9A1 engines on the other hand should have no problem flogging their cars on the track.

Hi TC, but the fixes cost a little but not too much in the scheme of tracking...just an additional pump to scavenge from front right, deeper oil sump, and accusump.

True, and with the power steering issue fixed as well, it should be a pretty nice car to track.

Re: Porsche Cayman Trackers

I went up with PCS road trip to Krabi last month (as a pax)

There were 3 Caymans in the group of about 21 cars.

IMO - I observed that the age group demographics and inclinations are somewhat different (specific to the group as a whole) and that could be the reason why breakfast drives and long trips have been organised i/o track days.

They drive just as fast + hard as the M boys - which I did with PML to Phuket.

I owned a Boxster S and Cayman S previously but never tracked them (I can almost qualify as a senior citizen)

She is now driving the GT3 MkII

I still see some Caymans in PCS Trackdays but less than 5 for certain.
Mostly now are the GT3s and Turbos

ah that explains the context it was used in!

"That guy's cocky but not in a big way, just a small way - a tiny way. In fact most would consider it microscopic...some even atomic..."
