Default COTA ALMS This Weekend in Austin

I plan on attending all three days. Any one else going? Porsche will have a Porscheplatz and hospitality center.

More importantly, you have the WEC on Sunday! LMP1 and the top GT teams including Manthey Porsche in the 991 RSR. It will be interesting to compare lap times of the 997 RSR on Saturday with the 991 on Sunday.

I'm planning to take my 6-year-old twin boys on Saturday afternoon. How does one get invited to the Porscheplatz and hospitality area? They'd love that.

You can still buy tickets but it's part of an overall package for the three days. Send me a PM and I'll send you a number to call.

Well it appears there are two events. PCA is hosting a Porscheplatz and Porsche North America is having a VIP set up for Friday and Saturday. Does any one know if Porsche North America will bring the new GT3 that has been doing the rounds in the US? I checked with my dealer and the head office for Porsche North America but nobody seems to know anything.

That would be a pleasant and much needed surprise.

Was there today & will be there tomorrow coaching. Probably on Saturday spectating as a guest of Michelin. And then on Sunday, I will be driving the pace car/safety car for the 6 hour WEC race.

Thanks, you are probably the 15th person to offer! I believe I am going to have a VERY beautiful lady as copilot & radio operator...
