I have driven pcna one on track during the 918 event they had when they were selling them.

I have plans to track it a few times this summer. I have other cars I will track more but I just feel like this car needs to be on the track a few times. I am collector but I drive my collection. Not into car art.

I'll have mine at the track in the not too distant future. Once we have all the clear bra and windshield film issues figured out.

Drove one of Porsche's preproduction models at the small track at Thermal. Fun but need more seat time to really provide track related feedback.

I like Thermal, I actually like it better than Spring Mountain in Vegas/Pahrump.

But mind you, I drove Pahrump drunk with about 2hrs of sleep.............

Sounds like a great plan!
Are you going to gather telemetry on this occasion?

Awesome!

Really hope to share your in depth experience with the car in this useful and peaceful board here.

It’s fair to say, that your rumors, predictions and “behind the scene” information regarding the 918 project, were 100% spot in the last two years.
Thanks for that.

Btw, didn’t your car arrived long ago?

Not that I have heard of. I'm actually parting with my 918 with under 25 miles
