Unfortunately, after 5 years of not using the car it took a moment to regain confidence. The change at the wheel with the paddles is beautiful Definitely an experience to be repeated with the Porsche R-GT but before returning to the track you have to reset the rally driving settings. It was a great pleasure to spend the weekend with Orlando who gave me life and sports lessons. “
