2021 Days (11)

After hemming and hawing and interating with ChatGPT on various models, I bought a Specialized Levo Comp Alloy gen 3. Cycle sport had a few left in their inventory and had dropped the price to about half of MSRP and built it with an upgraded drivetrain and brakes.

I took it out for its maiden voyage and am continuing to study all its settings and setup options.

Dear Buster:

At long last the letter I've promised for so long.

Introduction

Assetto Corsa has become my go-to tool for practicing autocross and track craft between real events. With Apple Silicon and CodeWeavers CrossOver Gaming, it now runs surprisingly well on macOS without needing a full Windows install or a virtual machine.

TL;DR: Best day ever for me. I hope to repeat this performance on another day. 

I let ChatGPT draft this based on my notes and data for the day.

Event: Golden Gate Lotus Club Autocross — November 1, 2025
Location: Laguna Seca Lakebed, near Monterey Bay, CA
Car: 2013 Porsche 991.1 Carrera S (Bridgestone RE-71RS, 32 psi hot)
Results: Official Results 

Introduction

After clearing a lingering airbag fault on my 2013 Porsche 991.1 Carrera S, I decided it was time to explore what the ThinkDiag+ tool could really do. 

My goal: customize how the car behaves and bring a few hidden factory options to life—Sport Plus, Porsche Sport Exhaust (PSE), full-time cluster lighting, and TPMS settings for my track tires.

This project turned into a deep dive into coding, diagnostics, and a little bit of trim repair along the way. Here are my notes to help me track and log my work.
