Were you limited to a certain speed? Because that's sloooww...

[lowenzahn69]

This was the "Porsche Sport Driving Experience" i.e. a weekend of average folks getting to test drive all the different 911 models on a closed circuit with one GT3 in the lead with the instructor. Our speed was limited by him which was probably a good thing given that none of us had racing experience. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and I did hit 120mph on the back straight. Hope you enjoyed the video nontheless!

It's always a pleasure to see Porsches doing what they do best (even when they're not being trashed!). I would have suggested the Cayman S with manual gbox, though. It's easier for people without track experience, specially between apex and track-out. I own one, and twice a month I'm on a circuit. Can't get enough of that! Keep your love for Porsches man!

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Sorry, I meant 'between turn-in and apex', during braking and entering.

[martinz1001]

@lowenzahn69 I loved it so much, thank you man!!! I am dreaming of doing that driving experience myself! Must be mind-blowing. And I too want to buy a Carreera S within 10 years!

[othmanaaa]

was the car equipped with the sport exhaust system ?

[lowenzahn69]

Not sure to be honest, but I'm guessing not. I'm using manual PDK paddle shifters on the steering wheel during both laps, makes you feel like Formula 1. I was just getting the feel for when to shift up and down and how to enter a turn when we had to pull into the pits :( I'll be signing up for the Porsche racing school as soon as I can. Awesome Experience!

[NehpetsK57]

thats your car?

[lowenzahn69]

Unfortunately not! I'd like to have a Carrera S or a GT3 one of these days though. Need a few more years to earn that million first :)

[NehpetsK57]

yes porsches are a must to own. my friend has a 997 base carrera and that thing is a blast.
