Forum will no longer be utilized!

After facing many challenges with utilization of this forum for many years, the board voted on the evening of 1/12/2026 to stop use of the forum in favor of the modern, more effective means.

Most of our general club organization will now be coordinated via Discord and results from our events along with schedules and announcements will be hosted on our main alscca.net webpage.

What does this mean for the old forum? Well, in short we are going to stop using it. This has been reviewed several times in the past few years, and there has been a desire for some of more tenured members of the club to have the historic content preserved. In an effort to preserve this content, it was discovered that we could not simply export the content to be placed in a modern website. This forum will now become an archive only forum and will not be monitored. If you wish to preserve any of the content, this is your time to search the pages to find it. There is no promise that this content will remain available forever with the fragile nature of this forum.

    @ Richard M. re: Cayman PDK upshift

    Richard,

    A couple of PDK owner quotes who autocross:

    "That was my only real complaint about the PDK in the GTS, it wouldn't always hold the gear I wanted and would occasionally upshift when I was feathering the throttle."

    and

    "I also had, early on with the car, enough instances where the PDK in auto went to 3rd when it wasn't really warranted - so I started focusing on running it in manual..."

    I would like to add that Kevin Wenzel got to the point with his old Cayman GTS to use the PDK in Automatic mode. It always seemed to keep the car in the gear that would allow it to use the power best from what I understand. Kevin won the prosolo championship the last year he owned the car and I feel like he always extracted a high level of performance from that car.

    My next porsche will be my first, so I reckon I have no clue what is better. I know I like to be in charge of gear changes but I'm also willing to accept that perhaps I screw up occasionally and probably don't have it in the best gear.

    If at first you don't succeed, you probably put it in the ditch.
