s seen in the video he is going on the absolute limit, driving staccato. i like this.
It is planned to put Kevin in my 991gt2rs soon as i get it, to hammer it on the ring with track day condition :-)

This is just excellent

Maybe worth doing Manthey Trackday just to be passed 30 times by M. Estres

Just spoken with Kevin at phone right now,

1/Preuninger gived the authorisation himself to kevin for that event and gived a fresh new set of tires for enjoying properly the laps, and the car IS the lap record car!!
what cool porsche motorsport team they are

2/He will have just in case a set of rain tire

3/one guy will come from abu dabi by plane just for make one lap with Kevin and go back home 😂

4/Misha from apex nurburgring booked two laps for himself and he is afraid 😂😂

4/ all places is sold out 🤪😎

i can’t make it though but I’ll donate something if there is a way to do it.
Link anyone?
I think that's an awesome idea! Maybe donations could cover rides for people in the area who would love to go but can't afford to do so? Not sure how that would get organized though. Either way I'd be happy to donate.

Darn, what luck. Literally missed timing by a wk. I'm in Belgium & Czech month of June with the gang visiting family, would definitely have jumped on this. Have a cousin in Stavelot who will likely do this, thanks for positing info.

Great deal - put your life at risk for only 449 euros. He will be over 7 minutes with the extra weight. I did BMW M5 ring taxi a few years back and one of the passengers threw up and another one passed out. Never again I said. This is better because only one passenger.

Perhaps it's the mood I'm in, but this really cracked me up.

if you was in taxi during touristenfahrten, you made probably an equivalent of 8min full lap at the best but more 8.30 i guess, with Kevin and track day condition 1.20min faster for sure, which is comparable to do a flight in a boeing 747 (your lap) and a f22 raptor include loop at mach1 (his lap) not exactly the same sensation dude

agreed - its amazing how traffic during a TF can really slow down a lap...
