Today, my husband has written about taking our GT3 to Suzuka Circuit at the end of last year. We hope you enjoy his account. Last October, heavy rain forced the cancellation of a Porsche driving school, so I never got the chance to take the GT3 on track. I took some time off at the end of the year and brought it to Suzuka Circuit for a proper run. Here’s how it felt, including some...
