Thanks for sharing the pics, and roll on the delivery of your new Gentian Macan!

Cheers,
Cheers Simon. There must have been some very timid drivers today as I was regularly catching and overtaking 911 cars on the original handling circuit.
Glad that you had fun, Mark!

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. :P

Cheers,
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.

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.
