Did the Porsche Track Experience at Barber Motorsports Park. Took the 2 day intro class. Had a blast. Each day consisted of 4 track sessions along with paddock exercises in braking/handling, wet skid pad and autocross.

Each track session is a lead/follow format with instructor remaining in lead car. The 4 students rotate in line every couple of laps. Fastest session was Day 2 Sessions 1 and 2. My father took the course with me, so you'll hear the instructors call out "Fred S." and "Fred J.", I'm "Fred S.".

Almost all driving exercises were done in 911 GTS's. Got to do one track session in a Turbo S and one in a Cayman GTS. Autocross was done in a Boxster GTS. Each car was quite different and the same. Turbo S was quicker in a straight line, but you could easily feel its added weight in all brake and turn sections. 911 GTS was much more nimble on track compared to Turbo S. Was surprised at how much more planted the 911 GTS is on track vs. the Cayman GTS. Cayman was much more twitchy, had traction control kicking in much more during acceleration out of turns or cresting over hills. Cayman felt more nimble and smaller, but 911 was just planted.

Last day also had a timed autocross competition which was fun.
