Unleash the GT3! Driving a Porsche 911 GT3 at Suzuka Circuit

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...

How Does a Gran Turismo Champion Feel Behind the Wheel of a Porsche 911 GT3?

Our Last Royu Drive of 2019 As I mentioned in a recent post, late last year we welcomed Riko Otsuka, MC of the GTSport Housoukyoku YouTube channel, and GT player Tatsuya Sugawara to our home. While they were here, we thought it would be a great opportunity to head to the Royu Driveway and let world-class GT player Sugawara take the wheel of our GT3. My daughters, Riko, and I followed along in the Panamera....

How to Shift Up Properly in a Manual Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2)

How to Shift Up in the GT3 The other day, my husband came home after his usual drive in the GT3 and told me something fascinating. Six months after taking delivery, I finally figured out how to work the manual transmission in the GT3 (991.2)! I knew that with the 991.2 GT3, you don’t need to lift off the throttle to shift up, so until now, I’d been keeping the throttle steady while shifting. But...

Porsche Friends The other day, my family went out for sushi at a conveyor-belt restaurant. It was dinnertime and the place was packed, so we were waiting in the lobby when a father who had just arrived with his family came over to my husband. Mr. ○○! Mr. ○○! Fancy seeing you again! My husband looked surprised and delighted. “Oh, A! Great to see you again!” Before long, they were deep in conversation about cars,...
