As per the subject header I've been invited to a track day in two weeks to take my car along. The track has some good twisties and a lovely long straight.

Anyone have any experience on taking their QP GTS on track? Good or bad points i should be aware of before i take my turn?

I have driven the track a few times before on marketing track days with Porsche and Lexus so i'm fairly familiar with the layout.

Went better than i thought. It has some serious legs on it but braking hard into hairpins from 220kms + with a car that weights so much isn't really recommended.

Actually did way way better in the twisties than i expected as well. It benefits from having a very stiff sports suspension setting that minimized a lot of the roll and kept the wheels from losing traction
