Default Just did my first track day.

It was my first in this car anyway. I took it really easy given what happened when I last did a track day 8 years ago in my 993TT (went VERY badly meeting an armco)
I found the car to be brutally fast coming out of the tight corners in the right gear and got crazy speeds on the back strait.
The technology is simply incredible and the old air cooled cars are now dead too me lol. These cars will save your life!
I had a professional training session and learnt so much more about the car, and my limited abilities.
The turn in is awesome, and I know the DSC was a huge help.
The car ran flawlessly and showed it's true colours.
Amazing.

Cool. These cars really show their own on the track, they're brutal!
Way faster and sure footed than any aircooled turbo, even the 993. Man I remember your 993 incident, can't believe it's been 8 yrs.
Enjoy

Glad to hear you're getting back out on the track and thrilled we can be a part of that!
