The Porsche “Playground”
In order to truly appreciate what a Porsche is engineered to do—Porsche designed a 1.6-mile circuit featuring six different driving experiences that showcase the incredible performance levels of Porsche vehicles.
When I got behind the wheel of the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS I couldn't wait to test out my “need for speed.” The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS is a mid-engine sports car with 305 horsepower and a max track speed of 175 mph.
The professional driving coach that I was paired with to direct me through the course gave me permission to speed and I hit 98 MPH in a matter of seconds in the “Dynamics” area on my fourth try. It was so exciting and thrilling at the same time! It is important to note, that the circuit is not a “racetrack.” It is a performance track built to test the abilities of the cars.
Out of all six sections of the driving circuit, the “Wet, Low-Friction Circle” section was my favorite. We were able to test out the glorious drift of the Porsche in the low-friction circle and experience the over-steer capabilities using a combination of throttle and steering input on an inward slope of wet polished concrete.
