The first time in my life I've regretted not having a current passport. Had a 30-second video schpiel all prepared in my mind and everything.

I still see the signs and it appears they are working on that Porsche track off the 405 (former gold course).

I'm watching that with a LOT of interest!

[Jack Olsen]

What do you think the 'challenge' is? And what is the new model?

[Manny Alban]

Based on what he said in the video, I bet the new car is the unobtainable 991R

[Jack Olsen]

Or the '718' Boxster or Cayman.

[Charles Freeborn]

It could be a '87 bug...P. Long as your teacher, school track in DE, event in the Pyrenees, who cares what the car is??!! But a spyder would be bitçhin....

[Jack Olsen]

Well, as it happens, I'll be able to let you know. I was selected for this.

(Still pinching myself.)

So -- as long as Porsche doesn't have me sign a non-disclosure agreement, I'll start a thread about it here and let everyone know how it goes.

As of now, I don't know what the 'challenge' is going to be, or who the other driver they selected is. I don't know what the 'new model' of Porsche is. I don't know what the event in the Pyrenees is going to be. I don't even know where the Pyrenees are.

All I know is that I am headed to Stuttgart in six days.

Cool.
Even if you can't disclose the details, you can describe the fun you have.
Enjoy every minute of it.

[Charles Freeborn]

Congrats Jack!

[HarryD]

Jack:

Very cool. Congrats!

[Green6]

Congrats Jack.

Could be the new Cayman GT4 Clubsport single seater track car that they say in Issue 374 Christophorus is going to be released March 4.

[gliding_serpent]

Well done Jack. I would have applied, but I figure that my face is too pretty, and I am more difficult than tough. ;-)

[McLaren-TAG]

Please do create a thread Jack, just the facts.

Congratulations, they must have really loved that garage of yours. I'll be living vicariously through whatever you post, Patrick Long is the guy to have a bromance with.

[SoCalSK8r]

Congrats Jack, that's so rad!

Congrats Jack!
Regardless of what car you end up tracking...
Hanging at a race track with Patrick is the golden ticket.
This trip might help you find a tenth at Big Willow.

Sounds like a blast. Pat is a present fixture here in la with especially vintage Porsche stuff and a really cool guy to hang out with and talk 911s. He's a massive air cooled fan and of course an amazing driver to boot. Should be epic.

[Alex973]

Hey Jack If you change your mind let me know, as long as it is Pat Long,
and Ignition is on the left side it is doable.

[LeeH]

Excellent!

Ok... so I have to know. Did you enter before or after you saw my post???
