Well done and well said. I have to disagree on the autocross point though. I dont think many autocross skills translate to road racing. I followed the advice of many, go to a track school session first. Then, open lapping days with the Porsche club. After that, you will know when you are ready to take the plunge.

Great video. I wouldn't be racing without my local clubs SPDA, CASC-OR and OTA. Just get out and try it.

$50 gets you and your car on the track for a feel… just register and go. Hyperdrive.

@@myrajuju02 50 bucks where the fuck do you live?!? I haven’t been on the track but last time I looked and researched it costed $300 for a day and that’s just the track day training with an instructor at Laguna Seca where I live Plus you have to get a helmet good one costs around 200 and above then gas which around here is pretty expensive and they’re only $5.50 average that’s 80 bucks a tank driving on a track all day wastes gas so you probably gotta do two fuel ups going there, and comming back also there’s maintenance on your vehicle the tires or brakes or suspension or just do regular maintenance that’s probably 100 and above that’s nearly 800-1k just to start off and that’s just for a track day
