By the way! Even though this even costs 15.000€, there are a lot more affordable (and also more expensive) ones at Porsche Track Experience experience.porsche.com/track/track-experience/about-track-experience
As for the 15k/20k excess being cheap: I'm sure they don't offer this package to everybody, i.e. I'm sure, being a large influencer with a good safety record helps.
To be the quickest you have to throw the car on the ragged edge. Slow and steady wins the race in most places but not when you're racing for top honors. Even you go faster or your competition will leap frog you.
You have to be a little bit crazy to become the best at whatever you do. Mark puts that into practice. He knows he wrecks a lot, but pushing the boundaries is how you create new ones.
@@waynzignordics You have to push a vehicle to it's limits to know what those limits are and see where you can push beyond the limits of the vehicle while keeping it under control to be faster. Being able to do this cleanly is what delineates a messy/bad driver from a clean/good driver
I am very very proud as a Porsche Brand Ambassador to see the amount of pride, appreciation, and astonishment this amazing machine has shared. We at Porsche drive to envoke passion as exciting as the machines we create. Thank you for sharing your experience and passion for the brand.
@@tomevers6670 Actually most banks carry very little cash. Have you ever tried to get 25k cash out just by walking in? you have to give them like days notice
Just because mark didn’t win f1 world champions there a big difference between fast driver and F1 driver most people think they are as fast as f1 did you see Guy Martin versus Jenson Button.
It's like the worst professional athlete in sport X vs a "regular" top division college athlete. The worst pro is closer to the top pro (in the same league) than the college athlete is to the worst pro.
@@douglasmurdoch to be fair tho, rider vs driver. That's even less of a comparison than a top level high school athlete (say a top recruit) vs a pro athlete in the same sport.
Misha is without a doubt the best car personality on YT. So down to earth, know his strengths and limits, not trying to be anything else than what he is. Humble and grateful and just this guy you would love to have a cold beer with and talk cars. Never change and wish you and yours all the best
I used to be a parts interpreter at a porsche dealership in Australia about 17 years ago. i was fortunate enough to be sent to a few Porsche Experience events and got to drive quite a few different models around the track. I really really miss working there when i see videos like this.
These types of events are gold for any sports car manufacturer. I've not been to a Porsche Experience yet but attended a BMW M2 launch event in New Zealand which far from only driving the M2 allowed all partcipants to drive the entire M Range on track. When the right people in these companies come together and the penny pinchers stay away you get really good experiences. Safe to safe I'm planning to buy either an M car next or a Porsche.
I agree Porsche Experience is an increceble value. I paid $1100 usd for the 992 gt3 expeirnce and in terms of value for the money I would choose it any day over tracking my own 991.1 Carrera. For 1100 you get insurance a private professional instructor and 90 minutes of track time and skidpad. Not to mention your own 992 GT3 for the entire session. My GT3 was a shark blue pdk with the carbon bucket seats with just 1200 miles on the clock. It had new pirelli pzero corsa tires. I didnt have to worry about gas tire or brake wear. And when the instructors gt3rs kicked up some rocks at my car I just put the hammer down. How often do you get to absolutely thrash somebody else's gt3 without any worry.
No matter how many times I see these cars I still can't get over how beautifully well designed they are both in performance, sound, and appearance. It's a monster of a car, and the growl is so pleasing to the ears. Porsche knocked it out of the park.
This is why porsche will always be my favourite car manufacturer. The experience, the food, and just the sheer class of this brand is what pushes them beyond excellence.
If you have the money this is one of the best experiences that you can get for it (if you are a car guy). I learned something new and thank you guys for the content! :) Have a nice weekend everybody!
I can say from someone who’s been racing their car for 40 years in a number of venues from SCCA to the Porsche club that the instruction and experience you’re receiving is invaluable and will put you light years ahead of first-hand experience and trying to figure it out yourself.
Every Porsche Experience, regardless of whether track, handling or road-focused, is amazing. Having completed the Ice Experience in Levi, Finland and attended the G-Force and Performance courses at Hockenheim, I feel way more comfortable driving a car. And this by no means limits itself to driving a Porsche. It has it’s price tag but it’s worth every singe penny!
Until you go over the limit, you don't know where the limit is, and that's what this type of event is for... for you to learn how to find the limit, as good as you can, so that when you are racing, you can get as close to the limit, without going over... so great listening to MW and great driving Misha.
That price is honestly very reasonable. If you wanted to do a Porsche event with your own car it would probably cost 3000 in an old 1999 boxter, and if you wanted an instructor it would be a guy that does dental work during the week. Oh and also you would probably have 50 other cars on track. This seems awesome, and a great way to reward your best customers. Overall very good job by Porsche.
As a reminder Jörg Burgmeister is the legend who piloted the Flying Lizard 911 against Jan Magnussen in the Corvette in 2009 ALMS at Laguna Seca. Love to see that Porsche has him doing big things with them still💪🏽
I have done 2 open wheel multi day track experiences with Skip Barber (Limerock) and Lucas Oil (Thompson Speedway). It was a great experience, and you get a great mix of track and classroom time. The hardest thing for me was learning to brake later... unlearning street manners and pushing the car to its limits. The education carries over to everyday driving... balance transfer, braking, wet driving. There are cheaper ways to get a great track experience, but this looks like it was amazing!
Comletely agree. I paid 1200 euro for a single ring trackday in 2013 in a rented GT86. Fast forward 10 years and upgrade to a GT2RS, and 3x more days and the cost is 10x? Seems more than justified. Also possibly the ONLY way to drive this on track with only a 20,000 Euro excess.
The current GT3RS is an absolute work of art. Even on the road with road tyres this car punches well above its weight. Compared to other cars I’ve had the poof driving, like Lamborghini, AMG GT, Maserati, Brabus,BMW M2, M3 & M4 the Porsche was the most precise handling/steering. I’ll never forget it.
You had me at the intro scene of Spa, and then at the mention of nerding out, and then there was the driving and session analysis. So complete, so "spiritual" - what a fantastic event!
We ride the V-Line with the superbike class bikes ( 1 Liter enignes ). Since Bikes don't have the traction in lean to get all the power on the floor, as well as the traction for braking whilst full leaning, we use this line to stay upride as long as possible and be upright as fast as possible again, to use the power to weight ratio to our full potential.
Leave it to Porache to completely blur the line between attainable track car and full blown race car this far. Incredible car, the entry speed into Radillion is insane. The whole lap is! Wonderful car and video, thanks Misha
Mark was born on Friday, August 27, 1976, precisely 14 days after me. 🙂 Among his best achievements in F1 were double victories in Monaco, Great Britain and Brazil; 4 pole positions in 5 consecutive races; finishing 3rd in three seasons; and winning 4 races in a season. He also scored more points in a season where he won just 1 race than in the season where he won 4 races, which is very unique and shows great consistency (similar to Kimi in 2003 where he only won 1 race but ended just TWO points behind Michael who won SIX races 😱). At the start of the last race of 2010, Mark was among the three potential world champions and 7 points ahead of Sebastian Vettel, the eventual champion.
As I've worked with the 992 GT3 cup car as an engineer, the V racing line does make sense with all rear engine configured cars (mainly porsches) as the weight moves around on the back under braking. Same thing with the setup on these; you need to be very precise on the front end balance, but you don't care as much about the rear.
Before the years end you'll be taking us all with ease through a 40m video, giving a masterclass on fluid dynamics and why they have concentrated aerofoils mostly below the suspension to body area of the cars floor. Suddenly then people will begin to think they understand why you were blown away by it. It's advantages on grip, how ground effect aided by the adaptive anti dive suspension and how each becomes a stronger team, more than the sum of the individual pieces when organised & controlled to work together. Oversized splitters and rear diffusers are so yesterday, active aero and managed ground effect combo strikes again, wins on performance and looks. You need an invite to drive a GMA T.50 or T.33. Clues to how MR can even begin to think how to improve that genius step is whom have they recently employed & what are there specialities in? Enjoy exploring new skills and come back and teach us all
I'm glad to hear of someone else getting #gt3sick on a track run. My first ride as a passenger with an experienced GT3 driver almost made me loose it. "We're going to go just put some heat in the tires." Nonsense. Full send from the first corner. Nothing I knew prepared me for it. And, I loved every second of it.
I did the Porsche experience when they released the 991.2. My father had recently purchased a 991.1 Carrera S so for us it was free. Did 20 laps (give or take) at Summit Point Raceway in WV and was offered to go to Road Atlanta for what they called at the time the "GT experience" but I could not get off work. Had an absolute blast ripping the 991.2.
Looks amazing! For 15k though, being on the "poor" side of the stick, I'll just keep doing endless track days in my car to learn and improve, along with studying all materials I can get a hold of.
Good idea. But when you reach certain milestones in life (ie you get old) you may want to slurge on a few things. When I turned 40 I booked a Porsche Cup Car passenger lap at Highland Motorsport Park. That's on New Zealands South Island, where I was living at the time. I will never forget that experience and it was only a few hundred dollars. Great experiences can be had for any budget.
This is amazing. 15k euros is wildly affordable. There are some programs by me here in Florida that will run you over 35k dollars for a two day event similar to this, with 718 GT4 Clubsport cars.
@@buzzbuzzard380915k is still an insane amount of money for a weekend event. But, like I said in my original comment, compared to other events near me with lesser cars. 15k seems like a bargain. I’m very much in touch, no worries there
Awesome man! Love seeing this! In Oktober I had the opportunity to participate in let's say a smaller version of this. I was able to do the B2 driver training with BMW at the Salzburgring. It was actually pretty similar concept just tuned down a lot compared to this of course. We had 330d (pretty good car with 600Nm) and only about half a day of actual track driving (since it was also a safety training), but we also had those kind of track instructions, ghost laps at the end and overall it was one of the most fun activities I ever did. Especially for me who's never driven on a track before and not even playing video games hahah
I whish i could tell you a whole testament of how good all this videos and the last 3 have being for me. My god misha this is exactly why i love cars and men this has to be the best video documentary that you ever had. Sorry for the language barrier but dude. If i could just tell you how fun and enjoy fully was to watch this last 3 days at porsche was! Keep it up this has been even better than the greatest Shmee and all the youtubers. Please do more videos like this
You are a very lucky man, Misha! What an opportunity; and then rising to the challenge. Good on you and thanks for sharing the experience and your joy!
AMAZING!!! Having someone who knows the car and reasure you, you can push more, brake later etc, clearly he knows its safe but its unknown for you, its like jumping from a cliff, even you know the car can take it its really something amazing, discovering any car limits its just crazy good feeling
8:24 I did a (much cheaper) Porsche experience session at the track near silverstone in the GT4, but even still, there’s no babying around or going “too fast”. The instructors really push you to get the most out of the car in the time you have. I left absolutely speechless.
Mined blowing video. Very impressive. What a stunning Porsche, that grey color is elegant yet powerful looking. What an amazing opportunity. Thanks so much for bringing us along with you
Fangio said 1954 to Johnny Claes in Spa: 'more gas, less brakes'. Claes was complaining about his 250F, which led Fangio to lend his car and set a time as fast as in his own 250F. I once had the honour to experience 2 rounds of Hockenheim with Matthias Nonn in the ex-Jarier 24 hours of Le Mans Porsche 993 GT2 (This exact Jarier FAT Turbo car is available as a scale model). Unforgettable! I had a hangover, but in the car everything was fine! In fact the whole day I felt better in cars than outside them.
Misha, thank you for sharing your experience at this Porsche event. Not only did you get to experience this phenomenal GT3 RS on the track, but at SPA! And with world class instruction! I am planning to look for an event similar to this, but somewhere closer to home in the USA.
Just looking at the videos of the GT3 RS going on the track I can see that it carries crazy speed in the corners even though it doesn't normally show on camera
Amazing experience! One you will remember your entire life! I still fully remember doing the "California Superbike School" back in the 80's myself. That school helped set me up for the next 20+ years of racing bikes! Hope this class helps lead you into bigger and better opportunities!
The vast majority of people will never be able to do this simply because they don't possess the driving skill to safely drive these cars like this. That's what makes your channel so great, we can experience this wonderful event through your videos and maybe one day do it ourselves if we are up to the challenge.
thumbs up for porsche for taking our favorite car youtuber for a session!! 16:52 it takes a lot of courage to try to change motor memory on a track, speaking as a sim racer, it is hard even on a sim racer!!
The Grip the Speed and the Drivers .. Thank You. Pretty sure I’d be tripped up into one of the barriers very quickly, so it’s brilliant to see people who can stretch these cars like this 🎉
I've been looking into a trip to Europe next year. RSR is at the top of my list. I ran Road America last year and the two tracks still on my bucket list are Spa and Nürburgring. Laguna Seca is shortly after, but in any case... can't wait to experience these tracks!
Misha has champ mentallity, he can make 90% of daily nur users piss the passenger seat of their cars, yet he wont miss the chance to meet better drivers and push his limits. Best car channerl ever, peace.
awesome!! I once was allowed to do a small drive with a 928s, but that was just on the main road. This stuff really makes your mouth water ;-) Keep up the fun part.
Thank you Misha & Adrian for taking the time to convey and share this experience with us, even though this event was meant for you to personally deep-dive into Misha. It is special to witness such technical immersion with such masterpiece machinery and personnel... I believe I speak on behalf of many when I say that your channel is excellent, and we appreciate your content and driving competency. Keep it up Carmrade! Cheers. -Farah
I was too hyped when I saw your instagram post( so much that I forgot to see tags when I recognised spa) because spa is my second favourite to nordschleife. It is on my bucket list to visit any of them sometime in my life at least once. your videos are the closest thing people like me can get to real life experience, so thanks for sharing them. I wish you succes in your goal of attaining one of these bad boys :))
Great video. My favourite GT3's are the older 996 & 997 generation models having owned a Gen 1 996 with a Manthey K400 upgrade and some other minor modifications. The 992GT3/GT3RS are though amazing cars though and would have one of those over anything similar from Ferrari or McLaren as Porsche have stuck with a high revving normally aspirated engine which sounds so much better than anything turbocharged as well as better throttle response.
F1 drivers, depending on the speed and curve circumference, enter smoothly using the brakes with transmission. F1 drivers operate the machines in a manner to extend hardware life in a contest! They just don't romp the accelerator pedal!
16:49 Misha, If there is no one behind you, brake so that you can accelerate earlier in the curve towards the straight. At the end of the straight you will have a massively higher speed. I was a sick SIM racer.
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for all the great information. Now I've updated my bucket list to include the Porsche Track Experience, and a new Porsche to go along with it.
That was an awesome video. Rare I watch a whole video of anything. But this was brilliant. Love that they let you get near the limits of the car, that’s always the biggest let down of such things I have done in the past.
watching your clips for a couple of years now, and i am happy to see that more and more of the big fish in the sports car pond realise that you do a great work not only in the YT videos, but also, that you are a weapon on not just the Ring. Plz keep on driving dear Sir
I can't even imagine what a 992 GT2/RS would be like. The "base" Turbo S is already mental. So, if you cross a GT3 RS with a tuned Turbo S and ~ 700+ HP.....holy....
It’s funny you mentioned your attire because I thought to myself, “My man not only wants to show off his driving skills but his muscles too.” 😅 Didn’t know you were that jacked until the last video. 💪 However, since I navigated away from drag racing and into this sport, I’ve learned how beneficial it is to stay in top tier shape.

"We're going to go just put some heat in the tires." Nonsense. Full send from the first corner. Nothing I knew prepared me for it. And, I loved every second of it.
I love Porsche’s philosophy for developing their cars.
That is how you create a masterpiece
Yeah take a beetle and change it over 70 years.
I did the Porsche experience when they released the 991.2. My father had recently purchased a 991.1 Carrera S so for us it was free. Did 20 laps (give or take) at Summit Point Raceway in WV and was offered to go to Road Atlanta for what they called at the time the "GT experience" but I could not get off work. Had an absolute blast ripping the 991.2.
Looks amazing! For 15k though, being on the "poor" side of the stick, I'll just keep doing endless track days in my car to learn and improve, along with studying all materials I can get a hold of.
Good idea. But when you reach certain milestones in life (ie you get old) you may want to slurge on a few things. When I turned 40 I booked a Porsche Cup Car passenger lap at Highland Motorsport Park. That's on New Zealands South Island, where I was living at the time. I will never forget that experience and it was only a few hundred dollars. Great experiences can be had for any budget.
This is amazing. 15k euros is wildly affordable. There are some programs by me here in Florida that will run you over 35k dollars for a two day event similar to this, with 718 GT4 Clubsport cars.
15k wildly affordable. How out of touch can you be 🤣
@@buzzbuzzard380915k is still an insane amount of money for a weekend event. But, like I said in my original comment, compared to other events near me with lesser cars. 15k seems like a bargain. I’m very much in touch, no worries there
Awesome man! Love seeing this! In Oktober I had the opportunity to participate in let's say a smaller version of this. I was able to do the B2 driver training with BMW at the Salzburgring. It was actually pretty similar concept just tuned down a lot compared to this of course. We had 330d (pretty good car with 600Nm) and only about half a day of actual track driving (since it was also a safety training), but we also had those kind of track instructions, ghost laps at the end and overall it was one of the most fun activities I ever did. Especially for me who's never driven on a track before and not even playing video games hahah
Coincidentally the scariest overtake I’ve ever seen in F1 was by Mark Webber on that very bend, the speed he was going was terrifying…balls of steel.
I whish i could tell you a whole testament of how good all this videos and the last 3 have being for me. My god misha this is exactly why i love cars and men this has to be the best video documentary that you ever had. Sorry for the language barrier but dude. If i could just tell you how fun and enjoy fully was to watch this last 3 days at porsche was! Keep it up this has been even better than the greatest Shmee and all the youtubers. Please do more videos like this
You are a very lucky man, Misha! What an opportunity; and then rising to the challenge. Good on you and thanks for sharing the experience and your joy!
AMAZING!!!
Having someone who knows the car and reasure you, you can push more, brake later etc, clearly he knows its safe but its unknown for you, its like jumping from a cliff, even you know the car can take it its really something amazing, discovering any car limits its just crazy good feeling
Brilliant insight to a Porsche track and car experience. Really impressive set up with beautiful cars, F1 and racing legends + Michelin * class food.
8:24 I did a (much cheaper) Porsche experience session at the track near silverstone in the GT4, but even still, there’s no babying around or going “too fast”. The instructors really push you to get the most out of the car in the time you have. I left absolutely speechless.
the handheld bits of the shoots without the immage stability give a sensation of speed that is freaky
I love the howls, they just HOWL! Such an amazing sound.
Mined blowing video. Very impressive.
What a stunning Porsche, that grey color is elegant yet powerful looking.
What an amazing opportunity. Thanks so much for bringing us along with you
Congrats to this insane experience👍👏 great content!
Fangio said 1954 to Johnny Claes in Spa: 'more gas, less brakes'. Claes was complaining about his 250F, which led Fangio to lend his car and set a time as fast as in his own 250F.
I once had the honour to experience 2 rounds of Hockenheim with Matthias Nonn in the ex-Jarier 24 hours of Le Mans Porsche 993 GT2 (This exact Jarier FAT Turbo car is available as a scale model).
Unforgettable!
I had a hangover, but in the car everything was fine! In fact the whole day I felt better in cars than outside them.
Misha, thank you for sharing your experience at this Porsche event. Not only did you get to experience this phenomenal GT3 RS on the track, but at SPA! And with world class instruction! I am planning to look for an event similar to this, but somewhere closer to home in the USA.
Just looking at the videos of the GT3 RS going on the track I can see that it carries crazy speed in the corners even though it doesn't normally show on camera
Amazing experience! One you will remember your entire life! I still fully remember doing the "California Superbike School" back in the 80's myself. That school helped set me up for the next 20+ years of racing bikes! Hope this class helps lead you into bigger and better opportunities!
What a mega video. Awesome footage, awesome describing what happened... really high level of reviewing your experience. Thanks for this.
The vast majority of people will never be able to do this simply because they don't possess the driving skill to safely drive these cars like this.
That's what makes your channel so great, we can experience this wonderful event through your videos and maybe one day do it ourselves if we are up to the challenge.
thumbs up for porsche for taking our favorite car youtuber for a session!!
16:52 it takes a lot of courage to try to change motor memory on a track, speaking as a sim racer, it is hard even on a sim racer!!
Porsche should do another series like the one with Fassbender...but with Misha.
That show was EPIC, better than anything on Netflix etc.
Again brilliant video was glued to the screen from beginning to end.
The Grip the Speed and the Drivers .. Thank You. Pretty sure I’d be tripped up into one of the barriers very quickly, so it’s brilliant to see people who can stretch these cars like this 🎉
I've been looking into a trip to Europe next year. RSR is at the top of my list. I ran Road America last year and the two tracks still on my bucket list are Spa and Nürburgring. Laguna Seca is shortly after, but in any case... can't wait to experience these tracks!
Misha has champ mentallity, he can make 90% of daily nur users piss the passenger seat of their cars, yet he wont miss the chance to meet better drivers and push his limits. Best car channerl ever, peace.
That yellow one is a beauty. And mark webber what a legend, top bloke
Epic, and you're living my dream! My four year old and I am gonna track you down for a lap 😉😘
Props to the editor some great shots in this video
Welcome to my home circuit Misha ! Glad to see you enjoyed it 🤘😎
V line, the most important trick in a 911. Less apex speed but faster full throttle on the exit.
Exelent video Misha. Perfect combination of high production video and old style vlogin-chat. Amainzing to see you progres brother, keep it up
Oh this looks absolutely amazing....New bucket list item achieved when things calm down...
awesome!! I once was allowed to do a small drive with a 928s, but that was just on the main road. This stuff really makes your mouth water ;-)
Keep up the fun part.
Thank you Misha & Adrian for taking the time to convey and share this experience with us, even though this event was meant for you to personally deep-dive into Misha. It is special to witness such technical immersion with such masterpiece machinery and personnel... I believe I speak on behalf of many when I say that your channel is excellent, and we appreciate your content and driving competency. Keep it up Carmrade! Cheers. -Farah
Thank you for sharing this with us brotha!! Enjoyed every second of it 👍🏼
That car is absolutely insane. Awesome videos!
Fresh surface, plus lots of elevation change, and the most potent GT3 ever, I could see getting sick
I was too hyped when I saw your instagram post( so much that I forgot to see tags when I recognised spa) because spa is my second favourite to nordschleife. It is on my bucket list to visit any of them sometime in my life at least once. your videos are the closest thing people like me can get to real life experience, so thanks for sharing them. I wish you succes in your goal of attaining one of these bad boys :))
Man, i don't think there is a cooler car on the market today. The looks, the sound and the astonishing capabilities around a track.
Great video. My favourite GT3's are the older 996 & 997 generation models having owned a Gen 1 996 with a Manthey K400 upgrade and some other minor modifications. The 992GT3/GT3RS are though amazing cars though and would have one of those over anything similar from Ferrari or McLaren as Porsche have stuck with a high revving normally aspirated engine which sounds so much better than anything turbocharged as well as better throttle response.
F1 drivers, depending on the speed and curve circumference, enter smoothly using the brakes with transmission. F1 drivers operate the machines in a manner to extend hardware life in a contest! They just don't romp the accelerator pedal!
16:49 Misha, If there is no one behind you, brake so that you can accelerate earlier in the curve towards the straight.
At the end of the straight you will have a massively higher speed. I was a sick SIM racer.
Fantastic video. Thanks so much for all the great information. Now I've updated my bucket list to include the Porsche Track Experience, and a new Porsche to go along with it.
That was an awesome video. Rare I watch a whole video of anything. But this was brilliant.
Love that they let you get near the limits of the car, that’s always the biggest let down of such things I have done in the past.
Wow, thank you for sharing this experience - amazing ! Would like to see a full lap... 😁
That V-line, they (used to?) drove like that in the STCC Audi's back in the 2000's, something about slicks and AWD made it possible.
I’m signed up for Oct at the Red Bull Ring. Morning forward to it. Spent a LOT of time running laps in iRacing.
In my opinion Porsche makes the most amazing vehicles in the world, if I can ever afford one I’m definitely going to jump at the opportunity.
watching your clips for a couple of years now, and i am happy to see that more and more of the big fish in the sports car pond realise that you do a great work not only in the YT videos, but also, that you are a weapon on not just the Ring.
Plz keep on driving dear Sir
I can't even imagine what a 992 GT2/RS would be like. The "base" Turbo S is already mental. So, if you cross a GT3 RS with a tuned Turbo S and ~ 700+ HP.....holy....
Thank for sharing an amazing experience!
Next we need a video lap with Webber in the driving seat of the 218i and Misha telling him how to Nordschleife
It’s funny you mentioned your attire because I thought to myself, “My man not only wants to show off his driving skills but his muscles too.” 😅 Didn’t know you were that jacked until the last video. 💪 However, since I navigated away from drag racing and into this sport, I’ve learned how beneficial it is to stay in top tier shape.
@15:05, you have way too much belief in the capacity of a directional mic😂 (which is lucky for us, we heard the music perfectly!)
Thanks so much! So honest 🎉 And see if you can find a gap in a future vid to feed back how the last session went 🎉
This is the only future of Porsche, Disneyland !
