BAHAHA I am definitely a pro bean counter, gotta make sure the money goes where it is supposed to, and to make sure ya are not losing money but that you are also following all the rules and regulations set in place by the IRS (f they suck, we also do not like them) but do not worry, I do not do anything that can jeopardize the company I work for, or my job. We do everything we can and use all the ways that are legal to make sure our clients pay as little tax as possible while doing everything right to the letter.

I think he means the vent (below) under the license plate, between the exhausts on the rear bumper, that's where the warm air comes out.

T embraces the road every inch even around the hairpin bends.
I love to drive with tight sporty suspension all the time, not at all inconvenient. Except slightly bumpy on expansion joints of few bridges.
I was worried about the monstrous speed breakers in our roads, thanks to lower GC of the T, so my first option was the FAL! But, I am amazed by the mysterious nature of the blue beast handling them with out the service of FAL🤨.
Eagerly Waiting for the break-in period to be over, to explore the explosive nature of the blue beast.

Many thanks to @Uhu for all the words of encouragement.
@HerrDr Congrats - I read somewhere that you lapped in 6 mins 36 secs.
Wow that's an amazing time and just below the lap record.
Respect🙏

I take no credit. It's all the platform the T provides and the expert coaching from @Uhu

Amazing stuff. He must have been driving below version of the T instead, ha. I thought @HerrDr was just an average joe engineer from Brooklyn now working for Boeing in Seattle (just conjecture…my engineer friends that moved there all at Boeing). Maybe we should be asking him for driving tips instead? Should I always accelerate…pedal to the metal….coming out of a turn?..,like I always double down on 11 in BJ/Vegas??

It’s routed that way regardless of which tail you get.

Even at a leisurely pace, a lap-time of ~2:30 min (GP track) is easily attainable.

A record lap for a T on the Nordschleife should be around 7:35 min.

Right totally agreed. Which makes it more likely that a mid 6 minute lap would be done at the GP track since it would be literally impossible at the Nordschleife. The most likely is that the stated time was wrong

@HerrDr All that matters is that you had a great time, you can say you drove the ring, no one cares how fast as you were not in a race, and you have pictures to
prove it!
When I first spent time learning my way round the Ring in a Mini Cooper S (the 65 variety), I recall a family in front of me going through a hedge that immediately sprung back into shape so no one would have known a car had gone through it (there were no armco barriers in those days) in a Volvo P444 (not certain the number is correct) a rather bulbous ugly car. I had to pull over at Adenau Bridge and tell the German Gateman to get help to look for an errand Volvo skidding down the hill side somewhere !!! To this day I never discovered their fate? So congratulations for keeping it on the black stuff at a sensible speed you were comfortable with and bringing your pride and joy home.
The best advice is always slow in and fast out!
Enjoy the rest of your magical journey and post a few more pics not in hotels though! Well done.
Best Devon Racer.

Sport Auto lap times:
- 981 GT4 - 7:42 min
- 991.2 S - 7:34 min
The track has since been made even faster (resurfacing and some modifications - no jump at Flugplatz, quicker Schwedenkreutz section, etc)
- 718 GT4 - 7:28 min

Would be interesting to see a comparison test at a track between the 992 T, S and the manual 718 GT4
