Thank you Team BHP for this thread. Steeply priced but yes should be worth it. I'm booked at Kari on Oct 14. Didn't get BIC as well. Hope we get Leclerc's "let's go" feeling and not "nooooooooooooooooooo".

My love for Porsche goes was back to early nineties in the middle east and it was always a dream to experience them ever since. This event by Porsche India was open to anyone and with the line up of cars on offer, I had to give in. I drive the Cayenne diesel extensively as a camera tracking car, however it was its sportier siblings that had my interest.

Had a blast on the 10th Oct at Kari, enjoyed all 8 cars offered and did 24 full laps of Kari combined, this is apart from the braking, handling and slalom sessions that was conducted before the full laps session. Missed the 718 speedster 6 speed manual. Apparently it had a mechanical issue and was not available. Compensated that with more laps on the 992 911 CS and the almighty 991.2 GT3 RS. The base Taycan was the least interesting among the lot to drive according to me. The Panamera turbo S, Macan GTS, 992 911CS and 991.2 GT3 RS stole the show in their categories. A very well organized event by Porsche India. I must say it was money well spent for me. Also, had the privilege to ride BLR-CBE-BLR in bhpian raz0r’s 2021 E63s AMG. Icing on the cake, Whattay weekend!!! Looking forward to the next one.

Hey Zebo, I totally agree with you, we all had great fun that day driving around those machines on the Kari track. Meeting you guys (could meet Robi too- Been reading his threads regularly) was an added bonus. It never felt to me we were meeting for the first time- felt we knew each other all along!

What are the entry requirements? How often would they come to India. I checked their calendar and I don't see any dates blocked for India.
