On the downside, I guess I shouldn't be expecting a repeat of those half dozen laps. On the bright side I won't have to worry about the setup of my 993.

i suspect this single RRV lap will be more like a " 4th of July " kiddie parade ...nothing like your spaced apart 6 lap experience via the Canepa tour at Porsche Parade last summer...the bright side is it makes for a better photo/video opportunity for my buddy to share with his friends or family !

Except at least in traffic you're allowed to pass! This is worse! I came this close to getting sucked into the madness myself, but watching from trackside I was so glad I took a pass.

Oh, and the worst part? On top of everything else you will be sitting there on the track, not moving for minutes at a time, not even able to do anything more than ride your brakes down the corkscrew at 3mph (if that), all the while thinking over and over again, $%^&^%$$@ chuck911 was right, %^&$#^&&!!!!
Nice one Chuck. No I am not selling you my ticket.

I wonder if they refunded me the $25 for the ticket I bought "illegally" the day of the email announcement?

arrrrgh ...just realized that the pre-staging and parade lap on Saturday occurs the same hour , 11:30 - 12:30 , as the presentation in the PCA member tent of the new 991.2 by development chiefs August Achleitner, Thomas Krickelberg and Andreas Preuninger !
