that was brilliant!!!
brought back so many fond memories of my one and only visit to the 'Ring last year. it was so intimidating, but so bloody exciting! the first time you drive thru the gate and realize "omigod i'm actually HERE!".
i drove a rental 996 C4S, and in hindsight, it was the perfect car for a 'Ring newbie! not too fast, yet with the safety net of AWD, and of course, it was PORSCHE!
i'm back later this year, to take delivery of the RT12 and GT3. (yes, i will be VERY careful!)
again, thanks for a truly great post!
