In my earlier post, I'm not sure if it came through clearly but what I was trying to say was that the pdk made the car have so much power on tap for acceleration that it was crazy fast! Coming over the hill crest out of turn 4...whew!

Again, thanks to all for the encouragement!
Unfortunately you cannot skip over their course sessions, you need to follow them through. Which isn't a bad thing IMO, considering it's always good to learn heel/toe techniques in someone elses car
The off road component is only to show you the abilities of the 4X4 cayenne. This is only to help them push the Porsche brand and get you in as many models as they can.
I heard they've added a GT3 to the list, not sure if the students get a ride with an instructor or not??

This was on the scene yesterday. No students allowed though. Only Cass drove it. And he was getting paid to do so

Unfortunately not. He said it was there for what sounded like an evaluation prior to being shipped to the west coast for a marketing event.

Instructor hot laps were done with turbos and panamera turbos.
