    Still very fast in the corners. I still lack the control to play with the rear like that. You lifted the gas on purpose to position the car for earlier acceleration. Most likely you had about 220-230hp. My stock exige s2 has the same straight line speed then yours with the power loss🤣

Either through inexperience or through incompetence they completely forget about the etiquette, even when it is specifically called out during the morning driver briefing.

      @@RobSpoel I have a Cayman S 987.1 and the pedal box is identical. I agree that heel-toe is tricky to achieve. On a daily basis (soft braking) I use toe-toe braking: half top-foot on brake, the other half top-foot on gaz. That's a lot easier and intuitive for my POV. But you need larger shoes, like sneakers. But you're right, on hard braking I think heel-toe is more efficient, because the brake pedal is way more at the bottom. But that's not easy to switch technic from one corner to the next one 😅 But with toe-toe technic you can give a lot more gaz that you are able to do in the video on soft/average braking

    • @RobSpoel
      @RobSpoel 11 месяцев назад

      Yeah just bumped into the gate rather than slotting the gear in. It happened because I was distracted simultaneously thinking about wether or not I could safely pass the car in front of Pouhon (i.e. if I could make it in front of them before their steer-in point). In general I don't often have issues with the precision required in the S2 shifter. I'd rather not put stiffer engine mounts to avoid even more cabin noise. I have some improved shifter cables and a strengthening bracket for the shifter on order that I will install next.
