Read MoreSlipAngle /// Episode 392 - GLTC-Spec Porsche Cayman and KMiata at COTA - The Winning Formula
Abrin Schmucker
Episode 392 - We’re at the track with the boys from The Winning Formula. Aaron Leichty is debuting his PDK-equipped Porsche Cayman in GLTC Spec, and Emile Tabb is enjoying a new BMW MK60 ABS upgrade to his KMiata. Both of these cars are well thought out, and seriously quick on any given race weekend. Aaron talks about the pros and cons of the Porsche in this trim. Despite sitting in pole position for Race 1 with a 2:29.303, that time was not the fastest lap recorded in the weekend. A 2:28.980 set by Eric Kutil in Race 3 took the top spot. Emile talks about the changes to the car in the offseason, and how much extra confidence he has in the brake zones with the new upgrades. Overall, Aaron finished first in points for the weekend, with Emile finishing second. A great weekend for the team, and an excellent start to a 2021 race season. A full write-up of the weekend’s results is available at grid.life.
