Glad to pass on the info. She took some good shots.

It looks like you were just a couple cars behind me(red 944t) on the parade lap.

Yes, but the only thing I was paying any attention to is not hitting Jager's Speedster beside me ... or Jason's just-aquired 356 in front of me ..

"was this the big tent/structure on the hill?"

It's Porsche's private hospitality 'suite' for special attendees, i.e. dealer people, factory types, and select
customers, with food and drinks. Porsche did it first class with different foods for the various days
of IV and had a great selection of wines and beers. Attendees had an ideal view of the 'straight' and
turns 1,2,3. Late Sunday afternoon all who were there received Porsche flags, pens, mouse pads,
2012 car literature, and etc goodies.

A few pics taken from there looking down on the 'straight':

Nice shot of David Donohue's car. He sure put on a clinic. 35th to 1st? Awesome.

Well, that explains why I didn't see it then ... When I asked for a free copy of Christophorus, the girl at the new car 'Paddock' display asked me to fill out an info sheet and I told her Porsche already had my information from when I bought my new Cabriolet ... and she asked "What year was that?" and I replied .. "1987". I might as well of said '1887' ... The look on her face was priceless ... I'm absolutely SURE I'm not their target demographic any longer ...

Hi JP, the Porsche Hospitality suite is up the hill, on the other side of the front straight. It's normally known as the "Media Center" for major races. I got lucky, a friend of mine is the GM at a Porsche dealer, so I had a wristband for access. Food, drink and views were awesome

Default Porsche Hospitality

Here is a much better view, it's the lower level with all the umbrellas. The upper level was open to the public, great views of most of the track from up there.
