点评:This is the smallest track and overall time of any events similar to this I have experienced across the country. 1.2 miles and an outlap that the instructor forces a mandatory crawl equates to 4. No mirrors and a threat of grabbing the steering wheel. Insane. Iive never once had the mirrors flipped so they cannot be used - I don't trust someone I don't know and it's dangerous to grab the wheel. No manuals allowed, all PDK / DCT
To get more revenue they have drivers of all levels, up to 5 total on my laps, which absolutely ruined the event. My driving instructor talked so much that it literally gives me a headache watching a replay. Instructor was rude and overly aggressive at everything. Speaking on absolutely every moment, from shift points (where PDK sport on a GT3 is somehow not allowed, shocking. Instructor contradicted himself twice , yelling orders on the appropriate gear in turns, condescending the entire time.
The cars are track cars and I was repeatedly told to shift well out of the powrband where on a 991.2 GT3 RS that there is no point shifting above 8k. I suppose my instructor has never watched a single IMSA GT3, SCCA, Lemans, yes they all shift around 8650 - yet I was told that it doesn't make power? Exits at 3200 ina GT3, again wrong.
Overall if you want an instructor that lets you drive , this is not the place. If you've never been on a track and don't mind passing cars multiple times in a lap, maybe this is fun. Lap.times are posted which is frustrating when you know 5-10 seconds are lost waiting to pass. For anyone that has a supercar, track car , spent time in HPDE - don't bother, terrible experience. If it's free and you want to be told for 4 laps what a red marker is and a green marker is every lap, this is your place..they should just have base 991 with a stupid wing and fake logos, maybe that would save them money.
翻译:这是我在全国范围内体验过的同类赛事中赛道最短、总用时最少的一场。1.2英里的赛程,再加上教练强制要求的极慢起步阶段,整个比赛时长相当于4小时。没有后视镜可供使用,还存在有人伸手去抓方向盘的风险——简直离谱至极。我从来没遇到过后视镜被调至无法使用的状况;我不信任陌生人,而且去抓方向盘也非常危险。赛事不允许使用手动挡,所有车辆均需配备PDK或双离合变速箱。
为了增加收入,他们邀请了各种水平的车手参赛。我在赛道上总共最多只完成了5圈,这完全毁了整个体验。我的驾驶教练喋喋不休,以至于我看了回放后头疼不已。这位教练态度粗鲁且过于强硬。他几乎对每一个细节都要发表意见——从换挡时机说起(在GT3上居然不允许使用PDK运动模式,真是令人震惊)。他前后说法自相矛盾,在过弯时还大声命令该用几挡,全程都带着居高临下的态度。这些车都是赛道用车,我多次被叮嘱说要在功率带之外换挡——对于991.2 GT3 RS来说,转速超过8000转/分后换挡就毫无意义。我想我的教练大概从未看过哪怕一场IMSA GT3、SCCA或勒芒赛事吧;实际上这些赛事中的车手都是在约8650转/分时换挡的,可我却被告知那样做无法发挥出动力?在GT3上,最佳换挡时机是3200转/分,这同样是错误的说法。
总的来说,如果你想要一位允许你自由驾驶的教练,这里并不是合适之选。如果你从未上过赛道,也不介意在一圈中多次超越其他车辆,或许这会挺有趣的。赛道上会公布各车的单圈时间,但当你知道为了超车要浪费5到10秒的等待时间时,这种做法就相当令人沮丧了。对于拥有超级跑车或专业赛道车、且有过参与赛车教学活动经历的人来说——完全不值得尝试,体验极差。如果这场活动是免费的,且你乐意听工作人员每一圈都讲解什么是红色标识、什么是绿色标识的话,那这里倒是适合你……他们真该直接提供一辆装有夸张尾翼和假车标的基础款991就好了。也许那样能帮他们省钱。
