If this is the only opportunity ...
... to experience the GTR under these sort of race conditions, I would certainly do that. The 911S will always be there. But actually the points would be less important to me than the racing experience and performing to my own highest ability. But I can understand that the best professional racers have to consider the overall strategy for the racing calendar. Depends on your priorities.
Sounds like fun either way, though!

A silly dilemma
as the title says this is kinda of a silly dilemma with no real consequences but here it is. There is a PCA autocross on sunday. My PCA region does an autocross once a month and rewards points at each autocross to crown a Champion at the end of the season...
10 races
If you drive the GTR this weekend and don't score any points, can you still statistically win the overall autocross if you win the last 10 races? I would also point out that a lot of the fun is simply in competing. Best regards, George
it would be a tall feat
because I would assume he will win the S4 class again which would put him one 27 points with ten races to go. The difference between first and second place is 3 points per event. So the math does allow for a very close points race that can still be won by...
I would go for the race on the GTR
If it is only going to happen once, go for the burn. I say take the risk. It heightens the stakes for sure. Best regards, George
re: dilemma
"....this is kinda of a silly dilemma with no real consequences..." How about just racing the car you feel like driving that day, focus on having fun and improving times, and forget the points? IMO, PCA is laid back but POC is much more serious bunch of g...
Thanks DRMW
I think your idea is great. I wish my personality allowed me to do so. I normally go in thinking I'm just going to enjoy the ride and not worry about my times but once I pass the timing lights a different switch is flipped in my brain. I guess a little ba...
It's....
It's good to see that you still have the fire to be competitive. Keith Code? Cool. Still have his Twist of the Wrist books in the Library, also a bunch of us took a weekend course many years ago. Great class and the instructors were really good. Whatever ...

Well the results are in
I'm afraid I let you guys down. I was a serial cone killer. The GTR was like a bull in a very small china shop. It was almost comical at how many cones I killed, but each run my lap times were coming down as I was collecting cones. On my last run of the f...
What was the GTR like ...
... particularly compared to the 911? You concentrate on times and the second place (congratulations, sounds pretty good to me!) but I would be interest in the driving experience. You comment about the GTR feeling slow, even with a reaonable time posted, ...
