Metro NY PCA has a driving event on the full course on June 29 and I'm thinking of participating. Is it challenging, or do the heavily banked turns make it feel like you're just driving straight through the turns? What kind of speeds can I expect on a 996 coupe?
Thanks.

retsel75 is infamous around these parts
Pocano Long Course

I ran it last year. You start on the front straight counter clockwise and enter the north section (reversed). You come out onto the course, go thru the tunnel turn, down the back straight, through the NASCAR turn one bowl and back down the front straigt. I ran a 996TT and hit 165 on both straights. I think a 996 will hit in the 125 range. Good luck, everyone should try it once.

Thanks. Sounds intriguing. I did a PCA autocross yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. Low speeds, but you really get to learn the strengths and weaknesses of your car's handling and performance.
