It was great to meet fellow R-listers!
As it was my first time to the 'ring I can confirm what a scary but awesome place it really is. I drove three laps in the morning while the track was still damp, and after two and a half laps I had to coast as I could not concentrate any more
Sport Auto Perfection training continued for two days after the Manthey trackday, so those who knew their stuff got three awesome days in a row.
Can't wait to go back and to meet again with the great R-list friends!
Best, w

Default Pictures Manthey trackday 2012

Jochen Frozenspeed was there, here are a couple of pictures he took. I am only posting my car, not out of vanity, but because those are the pictures I paid for. You can go to http://www.frozenspeed.com/gallery_e...y_12/index.php to see a sample set of photos of other cars.
Best, w

i was a bit worried ... but you were right - everyting was fixed on warranty using 4.0 parts .. and the shop also tightened some screws that tend to losen with loc-tite.
sadly missed the real action at the Manthey Ring track day- now signed up for serious 2-day action in Spa! hopefully good weather then and it'll be all

Glad it all worked out. I am waiting for mine to break. They should just recall them, but o well. Have fun at Spa, please post pics also. We have to enjoy it through your adventures. If the weather today is an indication, you better bring fresh rain tires

Rewinding this thread. Manthey Track Day 2013 is next Wed. Aug. 7. Any RL'ers going? Weather looks good and 8 hours of full lap, non-touristfahren traffic limited to 80 Porsches with MM providing driver and tech. support is too good to pass up on...
