I took my son. He’s 22 so they let us share the driving. You’re in the car for about 2 hrs, so they let us alternate for 30 min slots. A word of warning…i was fine with all of it apart from the launch control and breaking part. Its just staggering how quickly and controllably a Macan will stop from 100mph BUT doing it repeatedly made me feel sick. Fortunately it was right at the end of my last turn, and we just handed over so my son could drive else it may have put a damper on the otherwise excellent day.

Make sure anyone that wants to drive takes a valid and up-to-date driving license. They do check
Did you do the brake test just after the kick plate that throws the back of the car? The effect of the two tests can build up

I was ok with the acceleration and the brake test but after the kick plate test with all safety systems turned off producing 360-degree rotations and the instructor taking me three times in turn to that section due to capacity elsewhere, I did feel a bit queasy
Actually, now you mention it it was after the kick plate thingy. I initially thought it was the little corkscrew that was doing it, because you go round that after each go on the straight but I watched a YouTube video where the guy said several people where chucking-up after doing the brake-testing. That is when I started turning green but it may have been because of the previous bit, or the corkscrew.

Don’t let this put anyone off though. I’d happily pay to do it again.

For what its worth my son was absolutely fine. Git

Well, that sent me down a rabbit hole…

China lists 10 T’s incoming - including one with Papaya paint and Black/Bordeaux Red extended leather. Um, not what I’d pick but whatever floats your boat I guess…

Not sure they’ve specced it for the right demographic.

It’s an odd one. Lots of comfort and nannies but 21” wheels and no A/S.

Removed the lovely T Sport Tex interior. But as discussed before I think they prioritised T build slots as it was a new model.

Seems they are just sticking a default 20% markup onto anything.
