I just like the grin on Patrick Long's face... He could do this all day.

This is what it is all about,

Not quite. The 991 can run circles around the cayman. Pat said he was abt 7/10ths & no where near 100%, while Leh was sawing away to keep up. & according to Leh, the cayman has no power but its fun to drive.

LOL. I suspect the DME scan would report some over-revs in that Cayman too.

Hot damn that Cayman R looks like fun to drive on the track!

Nice! It was fun for sure!

BTW considering the new 991 S posted the same Nurburgring lap time as .2 GT3 I think Cayman R has no chance with Pat Long behind the wheel of the 991 S

Never met Leh, but Pat's a real nice guy. Got to take a hot lap with him at Road Atlanta last year. They make it look so effortlessly easy.
