I think the 981 CS is inevitable for me.

Hey SBD, actually saw the show on the Speed channel a couple of nights ago. Were you one of the finalists? If so, good work!

Yes, I was on the winning Rayal Team.
PDK is effortless, we drove with it in auto mode and it did everything for you. Just drive it hard. I drove one lap in a new 981 Boxster on Sunday at local autox and it went to first gear on a tight corner and stayed there longer than I would have- Just a little to much torque. Knowing that, I would shift next time. I did not use the paddles. Thats next..

Next wed at auto club speedway I am getting trained by porsche on how to instruct in the new 911's and 981's and how to use the new technology . We then head out to the track for the rest of the day. YES!

Well, congrats are in order then! And for those who did not watch the show, I should correct your typo - its 'Rahal' team, as in Bobby's son Graham. Looked as if you did a very fast run on the autocross segment, although they did not show the comparative individual times. Anyway, I am truly envious about that and your upcoming training and track day!

So SBD….which one are you and what color is your car? Got a garage pic or something to help ID the car and driver….so we can follow you!

Congrats! It's GOOD to be the King!

Hoemboy, it won't be hard to figure out if you watch it. Each team has a professional driver (in his case, Graham Rahal), an actor/celebrity and an amateur/Porsche enthusiast. The amateurs had to win a run-off in Vegas in order to get to the 'show', so to speak (although a portion of the program is spent on the Vegas run-off).
