Just curious.

Le Mans comes to mind, what are the others?

As you'll no doubt recall at Road America, Charlie, Turn 9 is immediately followed by Turn 11.

What could be more Porsche than that?

(10 is the 2nd corner worker station on the very long turn 9, also known as the Carousel or Carrera-sel)

Dude, it's Larry, Curly, & Moe. No wonder you can't drove those turns. You're taking them in the wrong order.
