Speed District is at Laguna with a 105 dB day on November 17-18. What are the odds we can get a Mezger run group together and just buy the group out?

105 trackdays on my 2011 GT3. Epic! Until the 981 GT4 came along, lol. Easier to drive -up to a point! but gutless on the straights... And it sounds like my Oma's sowing machine compared to the Mezger growl. 😅😅.
Looking foward to meet all the (RL) royalty at BW... PS: Just got back from an epic 5000km ED adventure with the new 4RS. 6 racetracks. 5k kms, 4 countries, 3 Oktoberfests, 200.4 mph (322kmh) on A4 near Erfurt!!
Hope to see RL royalty in November 👍🏎🇩🇪

BTW, anyone interested in taking my 11/03 spot at Laguna with Turn8 (92db)? $250? Can't go, my B-Day, wifey has other plans 🥰.
PM me if interested!

I just stumbled on this hi-jacked thread. Still looking at Nov? I know of two other Mezgers that might be down.

Marking myself down as maybe. Car is in Mexico and plan to drive it to CA for Christmas. May be able to get there for Nov date.

I see very few 996 GT3s and GT4s, both of which make far more sense than 991 and 992. Is there a reason there is no cross post in those subs?

Bumping this again. @oldskews4 you're first on the list. Does that mean you're organizing? If so, is this on? If we need to top up, GT4s and 6GT3s would be fairly matched. Not sure about 991/992s.

Man, makes me want to ship my car out for some west coast winter fun. Heading to NCM this weekend for one last hurrah this season in the RS. This car will never get taken out of the track lineup!

They got a new afternoon session I've never seen. I literally always get to the racetrack so late as I am not a morning person and I am always worried about them getting mad for missing the morning meetings...so this works for me haha. I also love post lunch at the track as they are WAY less crowded! I am all about this

I will more than likely be there Fri afternoon

I'm going to Laguna on November 17-18. I'm trying to make the BW date work but I think I have prior commitments.

I'll be there in the morning, I usually do 1 session after lunch then head home. Josh does the drivers meeting via zoom the day before now so you can come up when you want in the morning.

I'll be in the white 997.2 with black wheels

Wish I could make it for that Laguna session. If you end up at BW I'm in the white 997.2 with black wheels.
