Glad you enjoyed, did you get much of a chance to get to 9k rpm on that little track. Shame the GT cars don’t use the F1 track instead

That looks like one hell of a line up outside the front door

I imagine there were a few envious glances from those only getting to test the ‘ordinary’ models

Lucky boy, Arif! :)

Thanks for sharing the pics.

So you're gradually working through your backlog of outstanding PEC vouchers then...? ;)

Thanks Guys - the line up at the front door was impressive with a 911 R as well! I took a bunch of mates with me as I had 3 other unused experiences - so yes the boys were super jealous of my GT3. Had a great time getting to 9000rpm a few times and the grip on this car is astonishing - that is in the dry! It was really interesting to drive it on the skidpan with the super slick tyres - this car needs to be handled carefully in those conditions. It is also pretty sensitive to tyre temperature - if you are going to get drive it hard you have make sure the rubber is warm - that is true of most cars but with these pilot cup tyres even more important.

The GT3 was unregistered, probably a pre-production model. PEC have had it all its life and it currently has 9500 miles on the clock!
