Very true which is why I did admit that the drivers yesterday seemed to be timid. At the pre drive briefing the majority were first timers at PEC. I also do sometimes think that the amount of power available on the 911 might make drivers more timid ( particularly in the wet on a cold day ) than they would be in a 2.0 Macan. With the Macan I could absolutely give it a good ragging whereas if I tried the same with a 911 I would probably be in the barriers.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 9:41 pmGlad that you had fun, Mark!mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 8:09 pmCheers Simon. There must have been some very timid drivers today as I was regularly catching and overtaking 911 cars on the original handling circuit.Wing Commander wrote: ↑Mon Dec 06, 2021 7:24 pm Glad you enjoyed it, Mark, and that the 2.0 performed well.
Thanks for sharing the pics, and roll on the delivery of your new Gentian Macan!
Cheers,
It does make me chuckle though, when folks in a Macan, boast of overtaking 911s at PEC.
Am sure it’s true, but loads of factors come into play. Stick equal drivers, on the same agenda, one in a Macan and one in a 911, and I think I know the outcome.
Cheers,
Day out at PEC today!

What was impressive yesterday was the ABS. On the straight in the middle of handling tack 2 the instructor had me accelerate hard to 60 and then when he shouted brake I had to slam on the brakes and simultaneously let go of the steering wheel. The car didn’t waver off the straight line under heavy braking.
