Hi MJones, the instructors speak highly of you.
Looks like you've become part of the Porsche Inner Circle

The hot laps in Turbo 911 and Turbo Panamera were like riding in
ballistic missiles. The Panamera is the real deal. I don't see any other
sedan touching it performance wise.

I may take BRT3's approach and do the the Performance/Master's course
back-to-back. I'd like to do some tracks in Europe so I need some skills
as I've seen too many Ring/Spa etc misadventures.

Can you request to take the entire course in a PDK equipped car? I have friends of mine who don't drive stick.

yes you can use a PDK car. Next time I will ask for one since in the manual cars we were obliged to us 3rd gear only. MDrums had a PDK and following him out of a corner was notgonnahappen.com

Yes, PDK 911-Cayman-Boxster are available. With the manual 911 they wanted only 3-4th gear use and
you could in fact keep it in 4th through the whole track.
