In these parts, toddler and infant seats go in the back, rear facing. Recommendation to stay rear facing as long as possible past age 2. I'm itching to get a booster in the rear of my 911 and GT350. They need to get older quick!

There’s no backseat so front is only option. It’s an infant seat so technically it would be rear facing when installed. This is why my wife has an issue with it up front and I get it. Should go in a car with a backseat.
Yes same here. I’ll have to wait for a booster to take them in anything with only 2 seats.

I was fortunate enough to have both my GT3 and GTR on the track this past Sunday. Happy to report that they are both beasts and fun to drive on the track. I was taking it easy on both as not much mileage but even so, they were a lot of fun.
I came away feeling the GT3 was a bit more fun than the MB but the MB benefits from novelty as there are not many out there used this way. So, everyone else at the track enjoyed having that one out there. The MB had some niggles because it seems even in RACE mode, it will help brake the car (disconcerting), the belts cinch up under hard braking (a bit surprising first few times) and the collision avoidance system freaks out for no apparent reason other than I'm going fast and a turn is coming up.
Aside from that I recommend them both highly! (having trouble uploading images...but will keep trying)

Sounds like we should do a gathering for all of us who own a GT3 and GTR haha. I think they make the perfect garage (and track) companions!

If you drive in Race mode and completely turn off ESC, (which I do btw and the car is extremely stable), the Collision Braking Assist is automatically then disabled.

Wondering if their "optional full steel roll cage and four-point belts" make it into the US.
