BMAN, how would the above advice translate for a Cayman? A few weeks ago, I was at the advanced DE in connection with the Club Race at Daytona. After being amazed at how well my brakes were working the first 2 days (because I too have had ice pedal problems in the past), I got ice pedal going into the bus stop on Sunday. This was because I was going deeper into turn 1 before braking, thus using the brakes harder. (Incidentally, I hit 155 on at least one lap before braking for turn 1.)
