They look like a lot of fun. I wish they had something RWD of that level - Maybe they do?
Boes has a couple BMW’s and a Mini for rent as well AFAIK.

If you know the Ring rent a low powered car and enjoy passing GT3'a who doesn't.

Renting makes it easy: find hotel, get airline ticket, book Avis rental car at airport go to Nürburg. Check in, check out track toy- drive.

I would love to pry it from Customs fingers, but I don't think that's an option, I'm sure I have to go get it from the Tampa dealer..
Thanks for the offer :-) We need to put a ONE meetup together soon.

Best in the video is when we are overtaken on Kesselchen and driver says: "He is going to lift - I'm not!"

Reeves, yes.
My sales guy is Dean, has had my deposit since 2007, but this time he needed to be convinced to give me an RS at MSRP...

Thanks for the wonderful information! I am taking notes--planning on a trip similar to yours for a future 992 GT3.
Where do you look for track dates/times for these EU tracks? Do they have a site similar to motorsportsreg or do you just visit individual track websites and register? sorry for the novice question lol
