Default Gelb Grun Run LeMans-Monza-Mugello-Nürburgring

I just got back from my 3 weeks in europe. this time I drove bugatti, monza, mugello, and did a 2-day session with Scuderia S7 at the nordschleife.

love the manual! at first i thought i would hate the auto blip downshift and speed shifting but actually they make for the perfect mix of a modern manual transmission. very smooth trail braking and faster corner entry is the result. this is the perfect car!

some video from porsche track precision app. drone video. pictures. will elaborate more once i get some more time to uncompress.



karussell





oops. engine fire in 991.1 gt3 during tourist lap

















These are videos from porsche track precision app. I had a Ram Mount phone mount but it made for rather shaky clips. rather disappointed in that. I have some go pro and 360 camera footage i have to have processed.

Nuburgring

Bugatti - LeMans

Monza - sorry this is kinda shaky

Mugello - shaky video


Drone over the sudschleife

Wow, awesome experience at those iconic tracks. Love the drone footage! Particularly the Sudschleife- I love discovering old roads and racetracks.

Nice! Some ideas for all of us the next time an ED opportunity arises. Makes me wish I had brought my drone with me.

Love the flat foot shifting!

I loved the Bugatti circuit! what a fast course and quite technical. I wish I could have spent 2 days there instead of just the one but had to conserve tires and brakes.
The Porsche Experience Center staff are top notch. you get all the driving time you could possibly want and in-car coaching i prefer so much over lead-follow. I also took a lap along the public road that comprises the rest of the course along with visiting the museum. it was a great trip. I left my wife in Paris for the day which works out quite well for couples. Actually i did that for all the tracks except the Nurburgring. Monza is practically in Milan. Mugello only 40 minutes north of Florence.

posing as museum rental car. i didnt ask. they didnt seem to mind.


free parking while i visit the dealership next door


always bring painters tape. comes in handy to squeeze wife's ridiculous oversize luggage between carbon fiber and leather.



who needs a wagon? this car does it all!
