Are they open to public? Can you go inside to have a look? I suppose these are customer cars waiting to be worked on in the picture.

Yes, they have a showroom and shop.
Then the race car building, race team building and some secret buildings.
We got the grand tour but, no photos allowed there.

Worth the visit !

Just made it to Zolder. Ready to test out super super silent extra mufflers.
Fingers crossed.

Once again sitting at 150Kph because we need to hypermile to the next gas station.
So much for the Autobahn missile, but OK better then walking.

This time we really were on fumes but we made it and we got the good stuff..

Peter, Is it unlike the USA where there are gas stations everywhere? I don’t know but ...so you can’t haul it on the autobahn and just exit when you get down to around 1/4 tank and refuel?

We didn’t want to go of the highway as most stations in towns close early.

But there are fewer then we’re used to.

Cool. Glad to see you made it to Manthey. Did you ask what they have cooking for 991.2 3RS?

On your 2:36 Spa vid, were you using the paddles or PDK Sport? Noticed car was shifting below 9k.

You've got more power but Peter more torque - good combination when pushing the car

I was confidently managing consumption, living in the edge like.

Forgot to ask, because this one seems perfect out of the box. Always paddles.

LOL, only pushing the limits of my MPG..

We passed sound at 98dB Zolder.
Crazy busy track. Open track all day but way too many cars on track.
Some cars has horrific drivers, some cars leaky and not road worthy.
Speed disparity was insane. Had a bad feeling, couple close calls and called it a day, not my favorite track.

Zandvoort tomorrow.
