Love the footage from Spa and thanks for the background on Manthey.

Curious what mount and camera you are using for the video? Great perspective and stable.

Great video.

Your forearms are looking bulky from all that track time

The camera is a GoPro Hero 3 mounted to the luggage bar via a Ram claw mount.

Driving in Europe, particularly Germany, really spoils you. In my first drive here at home in my GT3, before I even realized it I was going over 100 mph on the freeway. And naturally the left lane clogged up in no time. I couldn't help but notice that the right lanes (it was 4 lanes) were mostly empty.

Lar- Just discovered and read through this great adventure of yours! We are trying to decide if we should do Euro delivery with our new Macan, this thread is inspiring!

^^ we just dropped off the Macan at the factory 2 weeks ago.
Probably the best way to to ED if you don't track much.

But AWD and the top view camera made it so much more relaxed to park anywhere ETC and not worry about it VS RS.

RS was awesome in all track days but required some planning the Macan has the go anywhere anytime benefit and still is a blast to drive!

If you have the time and the desire, it's a no brainer. I had an absolute blast and can't wait to go back in a few weeks!

Thanks for the encouragement guys! Maybe we drop the PTS request - olive green - and stick with white our first choice, that will pay for the trip (mostly).

I will refrain from telling the story of crossing the muddy, remote, mountainous Romanian dirt roads across a national park in my GT4, dodging potholes that could swallow a basketball.

All. Day. Trip.

Only saw 2 vehicles (farm trucks) over a 5 hour trip.

But worth every second.
