The PDK is a mind reader. It just somehow knows what gear you want. Especially on a track day.
I did the two day long Porsche Driving experience at Barber Motorsports. We mostly drove a new 911 GTS, but we had one session in a 911 Turbo S, and a Cayman GTS as well as the stupidly named Tycan Turbo. All were a blast. The PDK in sport plus mode downshifts as you come into a corner, and it is just astonishing.
I was hitting 130 in the 911 GTS on the straights, nail the brakes hard, and feel the traction control help me get around the corners. Super fun.
The on Saturday I got to drive the same track in my antique all manual analog 911. I was hitting 90 on the straights, braking way further back with no ABS to help. In the end, my car was more fun as it was 100% me driving with no computer helping out. Slow but fun!
I have had my 911 on ten different tracks.
