Default Porsche Drive: are vehicles limited/detuned?

Looking at renting a 911 using Porsche Drive.

Are these vehicles limited electronically or detuned? Are they hard geofenced like golf carts on better golf courses? Do they have in-car monitoring or surveillance, e.g. cameras? Looking for full disclosure on any potential interventions in the experience or invasions of my privacy.

Thanks for comments from people with first hand experience renting from Porsche Drive.

I rented a 911 GTS and took it on Tail of the Dragon with a lot of spirited driving. I don’t know if they tracked me but it was a fun weekend.

Thanks for the feedback. Did the car seem limited in performance (power)? Or did it respond and perform more or less as you expected?

No - it was a normal GTS. It was fun. I was surprised how easy it was. They were like your car is over there. He went over a few things about the functions and gave me his card and said see you Monday. I ended up buying a 991 which is plenty fast enough for me but recommend their rental program if you want to try out a 911 or anything else. I didnt know what model I was getting but was pleasantly surprised when he said it was a 2022 GTS coupe.
