See you there! |
I think the track experience is getting less and less fun due to the speeds and technology driving the cars. As someone who has a wide range of cars in the stable, I have to say I enjoy driving my 16+ year old cars on the track the most. I almost exclusively drive my 2000 996 on the track and have my son drive the boxster. both of those cars are so much more fun to drive then the newer cars because as my son says, he likes manual since your so involved and you feel faster then you actually are. Watching him learning to drive on manual makes me realize how much more you have to understand momentum and how much more you need to plan ahead. I think that's what makes the old school cars so fun for me on the track. To your point, you may not be the fastest out there, but at least you are developing a feel and skills with driving that the computer controlled cars can never teach you. The 991 GT3 drivers will never develop driving skills that your older car will. I have had a 991 GT3 and it is an awesome car, but I still liked driving the 996 so much more. I felt that I was always learning.
