We don't ask for linen count, just of there is secured gated parking for a van and trailer ;-)

It was a huge factor in selecting the hotels for our recent trip.

nice laps at pr, peter!
looks like you are starting to know the car now, and those techno run-offs probably inspire more confidence too. at least screamer didn't touch your alcantara, but maybe she slobbered on the door sill? did she beg for a ride in purple reign coz it's her favourite colour, or did she win the meat raffle?
i love that double-apex right hander, and the left-right before the main straight!

Thanks great track but not difficult and you can risk going off, I tried for a bit to drive over the limit but it's just not in me, gets ragged. It's not how the instrument is meant to be played...

With another day I'd be able to do the exact same thing just a couple seconds quicker.
The car was on the limit but there was room for later breaking/earlier throttle..
Without Hans / harnesses and passengers aboard every lap I'm an even slower learner.

My back is getting a beating and I have the damn bar in my van being strapped in would save my back and be a second a lap alone..

They put squeeler in the car lapping the fastest.
You know, FLATOUT...

No slober on my CF door sills.

We had a vague plan to do it, but my wife already went the days prior and with some service delay of the car and a couple of accidents on the Autobahn we ran out of time. Maybe next year...

The plan, if all goes OK at work is picking up a Macan Dec 21 and leaving it there till May. Its a good car to drive around in the winter and practice the Ring some more in the spring.

Next ED hopefully around May 2016, maybe a GT4?

I hadn't looked back yet, but I feel like I'm sitting on top of the seat, not in it like when I removed the cushions of the 997 buckets and put them back in to drive home..
I don't quite fit as you see below. The passenger fits fine.

Anyone have the pictures handy how to remove the seat cushion?
I remember seeing something about front clips, but I don't want to break anything..

Glad to see everything went fairly well for you.

We had a German team take care of Peter while in Germany.
The RE10 Pads worked well on the car and Peter gave us great feedback. Now we can't wait to get our hands on the Car over here in Florida to get it truly track ready.

The cushion where the substrap should come? It's held by velcro!

I noticed the Velcro, but it's attached with clips on the front?
I need to find a better way to place the I phone a bit higher between the seats...

On the driver side, once you lift off the bottom cushion from the rear, the front will still be clipped to the front edge, but that is just a press fit. You just pull down and the cushion comes off

On the passenger side, there will be a plastic clip that prevents you from lifting the cushion up. That will take some needle nose pliers to pry the metal pin away from the plastic clip
