They probably won't have one but a porsche 911(964) 3.8 carrera rs and for a car they would have there probably like a porsche 992 gt3 or gt3 rs or 997
Been to PECLA three times on track, Sim room three times. On track drive base Cayman, Carrera S and Cayman GTS. Such a good time. Do they have the kick pad at PECATL?
I rode along with a Porsche instructor going up the hill in a Cayenne at Rennsport, and even though he was driving, he talked like this and explained everything well. They hire the best!
As a pilot and Porsche fan its damn near dangerous for me to fly into ATL since I can't help but ogle at all the lovely Porsches zooming around the track right before we touchdown.
What an incredible experience! Porsche really is the best manufacturer ever! I love how they're literally bringing track experiences and racing to the public like this which also perfectly aligns with their DNA as an incredible racing team. BMW has an M Power school like this too! We need to see you there @Tedward!
Awesome experience! I did PECLA last fall in a C2S, and the low traction “drifting” course is pretty challenging when trying to link the corners. You made it look easy! The PECs (LA or ATL) are an amazing deal. I definitely recommend everyone try it! The instructors are all awesome, and they encourage you to push the cars hard.
Been watching your content for awhile and the on track videos are some of my favorites, great that you were able to show off some skills on those courses.
now i realized why so many people said porsche was the most fun to drive car. The grip, the sound, the handling are amazing. Its like the sweetspot of sports car
Bucket list item for sure! I haven't been yet, but someday (soon, hopefully)!. In every video - from you or theTopher - all the coaches seem like absolute legends. I'd have too much trouble deciding which car to drive, so I'll have to drive them all! That said, actually kinda excited for the Macan Turbo EV; Kyle Conner from OutOfSpec took a ride in a prototype and they were drifting that little SUV like crazy... Another epic video, thanks Ted!
Great content and driving! Extra points for having this GoPro being at the level of your eyes, I can only imagine how annoying it might get after some time.
A lot of folks fly to the experience centers. Atlanta is an easy one since ATL is a major Delta hub. If you have a long layover you could do this since it's right next to the airport.
what a cool facility the tight handling circuit is super cool and i can almost see it being able to fit on a pretty small piece of land that a private citizen could build for not a massive amount of money.
1:40 4 way adjustable dampers that’s when you know it’s on a different level. I don’t even know what that means, what else is there besides compression and rebound!! 🤯
Low speed compression, high speed compression, low speed rebound, and high speed rebound. The “speed” refers to how quickly the damper piston is moving during the compression or rebound event. High-speed events include driving over a pothole or a kerb on a track. Low-speed events include body roll during cornering, or driving over smooth road undulations.
Hey Ted! Love the vids, I'm the guy who always comments about you making a Ferrari 328 GTS Targa this year haha, would love to see that as always! Keep up the great work man
Nah you could definitely make this your first driving experience on a circuit. But you’ll find more speed and joy if you’re familiar with high performance driving on a Track.
The west circuit looks super fun at PEATL! Should definitely check out atlanta motorsports park if you have a chance. Also has very interesting elevation changes and high speed corners.
Visited last year back when the new track opened up. Unfortunately they didn’t let me record any videos like this for my automotive channel…hopefully this year I can get it done! Great video as always!
The GT3 MR is kinda what a modern version of the 997 RS would be like, especially if you start with a manual GT3. The new RS is so technologically complicated its almost in a different class to previous RS cars.
Interesting about the rear-end feeling more settled on the non MR car. There is a cost to a stiff set-up car, while it may have more support and give a crisper feel, they also tend to be edgier and the suspension also tends to have tiny secondary vertical motions as opposed to a softer set-up car that can deal with a vertical upset as a one and done. I notice this on my MCS 2-way equipped 718 GT4. If I set it up too stiff, it just can't deal with the bumps properly, although it feels really good in the corners and is more direct. That is where fine tuning comes into play. You want the car just tight enough to be able to feel good with vertical upsets, but still offer good lateral responses. There is a very small window where both are close to being in harmony. Different tires (with different sidewall stiffness & tire pressures) also play into the tuning equation as well.
@@TedwardDrives Possibly. Worn tires are usually more stable laterally, but offer less grip. Newer tires have better grip, but have more lateral squirm from tread squirm
Hey, incredible video, can I ask how the gear change works for like the Manthey ? I don't see you using the magnetic shifters behind the wheel and you have both of your hands on the wheel so I'm also not seeing you change gears with your right hand. Is this a special setup of the Manthey racing kit that lets you build up RPM until 9000 before changing gears all the while being in automatic ?
@@TedwardDrives OK so like I thought this is their setup for the automatic huh. I'm guessing putting it on sport+ makes it shift to next gear at 9k and downshift at 5k. My 911 doesn't have shifting that agressive on automatic, that's why I drive it with the magnetic shifters. Thanks for the reply.
GT3s and GT3s everywhere, one day I’ll find one in my refrigerator 😂 The real question is if you had chance to drive the 718 GTS 4.0 that Topher showed recently telling also that he’ll be seeing you, this is the one I’m really interested in 😎
@@TedwardDrives aaaaah, so close! I’ll never lose hope that you’ll film it one day 😂 The ICE 718s are now discontinued in EU, my example was actually the very last one that drove out of my local Porsche Center 🤯
They're incredible! It's natural feeling but since there's so much weight over the rear you need to be aggressive to break traction. With a little more time I think I'd be a lot more comfortable
The two of these guys were just the best. So helpful. When you get a grumpy instructor it's really hard to push a car. You start to get scared and it all falls apart. Porsche instructors are like camp counselors helping you overcome obstacles to get better and push yourself. Highly recommend.
@@TedwardDrivesI did my instructor certification through PCA. Best place to go to get certified. Same type of instructors. If you don't communicate well you don't pass. They only took 8 out of 15 of us which I think was awesome. Been instructing for 18 years now since then and you get lots of free track time plus the benefit of watching people improve on track.
As someone that’s never been on a track or had a track day, I’m beginning to realize there are lots of things to not do that would upset the car and possibly lose control of the car and cause a wreck. It kind of surprises me that you can just go to a track day with zero experience and be let loose with other drivers. Is this how it’s done or is there some training involved before they let you with other drivers?
People don’t want to die so they won’t attack a corner if they don’t know how to. It’s fairly self regulating in that way. But instructors are there to coach people and you just follow what they say. They learn your skill level very quickly and adapt to your needs
Have You been to one of Porsche's experience centers yet? What would you drive?
They probably won't have one but a porsche 911(964) 3.8 carrera rs and for a car they would have there probably like a porsche 992 gt3 or gt3 rs or 997
They use this to showcase their new cars...But you bring up a great point. A vintage collection at PEC would be outrageously cool.
It's on my short-term list. I'd drive anything they give me, but I'd strongly prefer anything that revs out like this! GT4 or GT3 would make me happy.
Been to PECLA three times on track, Sim room three times. On track drive base Cayman, Carrera S and Cayman GTS. Such a good time. Do they have the kick pad at PECATL?
They do have the kick plate! I did it in a turbo s. That video coming soon
the way that the coach was explaining maintaining speed is so confidence inspiring
What an amazing coach and an amazing car!
The instructors are the best!! It’s like hanging out with your favorite camp counselor who also helps you go fast
I rode along with a Porsche instructor going up the hill in a Cayenne at Rennsport, and even though he was driving, he talked like this and explained everything well. They hire the best!
That ruby stone color on the gt3😍
and the turbofan rear wheels 🔥🔥🔥
Gotta love that 9000 RPM sound 🔥🔥
It’s fun to hear it over and over and over again
The Porsche driving coach sounds like a very passionate yoga instructor :)
I think for me that’s my ideal instructor haha
As a pilot and Porsche fan its damn near dangerous for me to fly into ATL since I can't help but ogle at all the lovely Porsches zooming around the track right before we touchdown.
Hahaha this comment rules
FAA want’s to know your location 😂
Great teacher armed with stellar communication. The feedback is spot on.

I love how they're literally bringing track experiences and racing to the public like this which also perfectly aligns with their DNA as an incredible racing team.

Incredibly cool track! Can’t believe I’ve never seen it before.
It's right at the airport! Schedule a connection with a long layover at ATL and go drive some Porsches
These smaller, more technical courses are a blast. Would love to take my f80 to something like this lol.
You’re a good driver! Very nice cars and event. Gotta love the GT3’s 😍
Look at how gracefully that GT3 moves ❤️
Everything with this video was perfect ! The car, the driving, the track.. and the instructors! you love to see it
Been watching your content for awhile and the on track videos are some of my favorites, great that you were able to show off some skills on those courses.
I absolutely love manthey racing because there kit’s and all the other stuff they do are fully functional because they did/do racing ofc amazing video
Chapeau, great driving! Great coach as well.
I want to see a Manthey car so bad, didn't realize they have one in ATL. May have to go try and find it haha
It’s crazy that you’re allowed to just drive it haha
@@TedwardDrives Yeah kinda nuts haha, I need to do the Porsche experience some day. Looks like an absolute blast
Great video! That's an awesome test track, and good driving
Appreciated! I was pretty rusty so I'm glad this worked out
These porsche vids are one of my favourite vids keep making cool content for us
Excellent video. It felt like I was in the car with you.
now i realized why so many people said porsche was the most fun to drive car. The grip, the sound, the handling are amazing. Its like the sweetspot of sports car

Great video, that looks like so much fun. GT3 is now definitely on the bucket list!
On my bucket list!
Agree, we need more places where we can practice car control, drifting, etc.
Now we all know Tedward can really drive!
Great content and driving! Extra points for having this GoPro being at the level of your eyes, I can only imagine how annoying it might get after some time.
Man that looks like such an awesome day out.
These intro specs are insane, might've just found my new top2 for 911s with the red one being the holy grail. 😍
Wow, the setting of the intro is beautiful
GOOD MORNING IM EXCITED FOR THIS ONE
0:03 i feel like i see the Nordschleife but in a different dimension
That looks so fun, I wish you could get this experience in my country!
A lot of folks fly to the experience centers. Atlanta is an easy one since ATL is a major Delta hub. If you have a long layover you could do this since it's right next to the airport.
Just got my Manthey Racing Yellow GT3 this week, pretty stoked!
Congrats!!
what a cool facility the tight handling circuit is super cool and i can almost see it being able to fit on a pretty small piece of land that a private citizen could build for not a massive amount of money.
6:22 Stellantis Hellcats cut off the air conditioning under full acceleration because 700+ hp is insufficient.
Babe wake up! Tedward just dropped 🥰🥰🤌
Oooooooo great lunch break material!
This looks like a really fun track
Impressive driving! 😃👍
Wow, this is incredible
Fantastic video, some superb driving too!
rubystone on a gt3 is just perfect!
The manthay gt3rsr is a real monster.

Hey Ted! Love the vids, I'm the guy who always comments about you making a Ferrari 328 GTS Targa this year haha, would love to see that as always! Keep up the great work man
I'll see what I can find! I think I know one that might work. Its a GTB but hopefully close enough
@@TedwardDrives absolutely 🙌🙌🙌
I love this video and keep coming back to It! Do you feel track experience is necessary before trying the Porsche Experience?
Nah you could definitely make this your first driving experience on a circuit. But you’ll find more speed and joy if you’re familiar with high performance driving on a Track.
The west circuit looks super fun at PEATL! Should definitely check out atlanta motorsports park if you have a chance. Also has very interesting elevation changes and high speed corners.
"can we get a little air going?" 😂
Dude I was so nauseous when I said that 🤮. Haha once in a while I get queasy and this one of those lucky times :p.
Visited last year back when the new track opened up. Unfortunately they didn’t let me record any videos like this for my automotive channel…hopefully this year I can get it done! Great video as always!
They invited us specifically for video so it’s probably a different situation than going as a guest and requesting video
@@TedwardDrives that’s so cool! It’s my dream to be doing what you’re doing. It’s a pleasure seeing you do so well with these videos🫡
I hope one day you will be able to visit the Nürburing and rent random car and drive untill whells fall off
Porsche beauty
Yesss first time im early on one of your videos
The GT3 MR is kinda what a modern version of the 997 RS would be like, especially if you start with a manual GT3. The new RS is so technologically complicated its almost in a different class to previous RS cars.
Now they call this driving! The car switching gears by itself is the only driver here. 😂😂😂
Interesting about the rear-end feeling more settled on the non MR car. There is a cost to a stiff set-up car, while it may have more support and give a crisper feel, they also tend to be edgier and the suspension also tends to have tiny secondary vertical motions as opposed to a softer set-up car that can deal with a vertical upset as a one and done.

There is a very small window where both are close to being in harmony.
Different tires (with different sidewall stiffness & tire pressures) also play into the tuning equation as well.
It's also possible that those rears were more worn than the standard GT3. I didn't take a look but they may have been closer to end of life on the MR
@@TedwardDrives Possibly.
Worn tires are usually more stable laterally, but offer less grip.
Newer tires have better grip, but have more lateral squirm from tread squirm
this is like taking a proper race kart to an indoor track 😮
Thats way too much fun to be legal!
That purple color looks so edible 🤤😍
nice steering bro
OMG its the cute GT3 :3 woohoo ❤

PDK is automatic so if you let it shift for you it’s pretty clever
@@TedwardDrives OK so like I thought this is their setup for the automatic huh. I'm guessing putting it on sport+ makes it shift to next gear at 9k and downshift at 5k. My 911 doesn't have shifting that agressive on automatic, that's why I drive it with the magnetic shifters. Thanks for the reply.
this is so cool
This PEC track is way better than the one in LA
GT3s and GT3s everywhere, one day I’ll find one in my refrigerator 😂
The real question is if you had chance to drive the 718 GTS 4.0 that Topher showed recently telling also that he’ll be seeing you, this is the one I’m really interested in 😎
We were there together :)
@@TedwardDrives haha 😂 Will there be vid on that one? Picked up a Boxster GTS 4.0 three weeks ago and would love to see your opinion on this variant.
I had a boxster style edition and I arrived later than he did plus it was pouring rain. So I didn’t film a street drive
@@TedwardDrives aaaaah, so close! I’ll never lose hope that you’ll film it one day 😂
The ICE 718s are now discontinued in EU, my example was actually the very last one that drove out of my local Porsche Center 🤯
For those people that saying tedward cannot drive. They really need to digest this video
Haha who the heck sayin that! Let’s race ;p
What an amazing experience thanks for documenting this! Anyone know how much this exact same experience would cost?
The walls and barriers immediately adjacent to that track are nauseating.
Your a fire driver 😍
Fun car didnt know it could drift like that stock
They're incredible! It's natural feeling but since there's so much weight over the rear you need to be aggressive to break traction. With a little more time I think I'd be a lot more comfortable
that MR looks insane!
what did you use to "mount" the gopro while driving? didn't look like the hat clip
It's just my usual hat clip
@@TedwardDrives oops, yeah sorry... for some reason it looked different
anyway, thanks!
Saw Harris cover this years ago and thought it's the perfect track weapon. Better than a gt3rs no?
So lucky!!!
So you use the in ear mics and the little in car recorder? Do you have a video that can teach me how to get good audio pov videos
What is the weight of the Manthey wheels compared with the stock ones?
I’d have this over a Z06

Hi tedward
Hi!
@@TedwardDrives how you doing it’s a Ben a long time since I commented on this videos
wow i always want a porsche but i cant get one
not with that attitude!
8k dollar boxsters are out there....
Nothing is worse for concentration than someone flapping their gums in your ear while you’re driving a track weapon.
Nah it’s great to have a knowledgeable instructor walking you through a new course
@@TedwardDrives Is it really? Figuring out a course is the best part imo. Not dying is where all the fun happens!
Rather do a DeMan 4.5L stroker
Good job, dude!
