Congratulations, use it in good health!
I've driven @many DE events, the BMW weekends are probably the best value, and are well organized. Plan on attending a few more this year. If you are cleared as a solo driver you are also allowed to drive in the instructor sessions. That means passing is unrestricted as long as you receive the point by, and more track time.

Thanks Sir5n. I have done Apex events before - I agree they are very well run.
By chance are you one of the instructors? I remember a number of them and they were all nice guys.
I also agree with respect to seat-time - the classroom stuff is important, but hearing it for the 20th time gets a bit much!!
Not to be a hater, but there was one organization that wanted $1,695 for a day at Mosport!!!!! Have to pick the right events.

You'll be in good hands.

Welcome aboard!
As far as track time it depends at what level you are at now and what you want out of it.
The UCR events are great because you get to hang with other Porsche owners.

Hi everyone. I am obviously new to the forum, and I am happy to say a new owner of a 991 C2S! See the pics attached (assuming I did it right).
I have been a lover of cars for many years, but have never owned a Porsche until today. I have been more of a "BMW guy", having owned 4 M3's and an M5 over the years. But on Wednesday my E92 goes to the dealer and I drove home with my first 911. Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!!
I will miss the M, but I think I will adjust well.
:cheers

That video footage is pretty much right out of the camera, didn't even straighten it.
Shout out to Porsche for building a great sports car, and EU Autowerks for their brilliant track alignment and setup.

Congrats, love the Sapphire Blue but I'm biased as I have an SB GTS en route. I looked at pics of your car on the Oakville site many times too.
