I am guessing it is cheap enough to do it even though I am not looking to wreck any cars.

I got it but I think they said that only 1 guy wrecked a car there. Have fun.

Are planning to get into the 991 yourself?

Cheers!

Would love to but would be hard to convince the wife about getting 2 911's. She has come a long way but that might be too much.

I started a thread asking for members to join but got very little response. Hard to coordinate time off. But just going on your own, you meet several great guys who share the passion for cars.

btw nice review. Looks like a great day if not a bit controlled, but i bet you found it much less controlled than a BMW driver traing session.

The bmw school was great also but it was not on as nice of a track and there were no porsches to drive. So winner is porsche driving school, of course.

Thanks for that! I am going in June just for what you experienced! However, I will wait for the new Cayman to make the decision regarding which cars are best. I have been waiting to order the 991, but since I drove the Spyder/Cayman R on a track last year, I am now leaning toward a mid-engine, but that being said, let the 991 change my mind in June!!!
