Amazing Porsche Test Drive

The Porsche Leipzig test race track is a dream destination.  I would one day love to drive it.  Just as with NurburgringLaguna Seca, and any street in Monte Carlo

So first take a look at a video of the Porsche 996 GT3 being thrashed on the track.  Put the volume up as loud as you can!  This helps understand why Porsches generally have sub-par music systems.... the best sound track is the engine itself!

Next, for a truly great experience, go to the URL below, to get the official Porsche lesson on how to drive the Leipzig track.  Click on the "Start Driving" link just below the video.  No while the video is playing, you can choose between alternate screens - one a terrifyingly thrilling road view, that rivals any of the craziest video games;  another a view of the car;  a third of the driver handling the steering wheel, and finally of the virtuoso play of his feet upon the pedals.  Keep switching between views, to get a full view of how to drive on Leipzig!
