That's the truth. I swear he had that thing on two wheels as we passed a Ferrari on the orientation lap!



Yes, I understand the money versus time on the track statement, but for mere mortals like myself, getting seat time in a 2017 GT3 RS was well worth it. I paid around $610 for 8 laps driving the RS and 3 laps for my wife in a GT3 as a ride along.
Very cool! It would be cool to do whether you have track time or not, but I have to assume that even a little track time would make it better than none at all.

I understand that a Cayenne is a pretty stellar performing machine. I'd like to experience that ride.

Wow! $610 for 8 laps in the GT3RS and 3 ride along in the GT3 for the missus all for $610? That seems bizarrely cheap. Hell, I paid $1000 to ride in a 3 seat F1 car for 3 laps. And it was totally worth it.
