The full potential of a Porsche is difficult
to put into words – acceleration, driving

Monte Carlo/Monaco
Type: right-hand turn with slight
incline.
Sebring/USA
Type: right-hand corner.
Character: a fast corner with high
g-forces. Depending on the vehicle,
shift up from 2nd to 4th gear under
full load before heading into the longest straight on the circuit at around
170 km/h (105 mph).
Rio de Janeiro/Brazil
Type: left-hand corner with almost
imperceptible incline.
Character: brake accurately and reduce
speed drastically. Then, enter the turn
with precision and, above all, avoid
understeer. NB: don’t accelerate too
soon – wait for the late apex.
Laguna Seca/USA
Type: right-left-right combination.
Character: 12 % gradient. And you can’t
see into the bend at all. Added to this,
there’s the constant switch between
understeer and oversteer, and the high
g-forces on entry. In short: simply
spectacular.
Character: the notorious Loews
curve connects the fastest and
slowest sections of the circuit.
On entry, you have to reduce
your speed by almost 200 km/h
(124 mph) and complete three
precise gearshifts.

Nürburgring/Germany
Type: right-left chicane.
Character: the S curve that throws up
a host of questions. Too fast or too
slow? With curbs or without? 2nd or
3rd gear? Approach from the outside
or keep tight at corner entry? If you
can answer these, you’ve perfected
your driving skills.

Suzuka/Japan
Type: left-right combination.
Character: at speeds of well over
200 km/h (124 mph), finding the ideal
braking point is crucial. Due to the
raised topography and a mid-corner
gearshift, care should be taken not
to oversteer.

Type: steep banked curve (180 degrees).
Character: 2nd gear. On entry, you have

to find the exact turn-in point.
Accelerating out of the curve, you need
the right line and speed. The last third is
not for the faint-hearted. If you take it
too quickly, you won’t stand a chance.
Shizuoka/Japan
Type: right-left combination.
Character: after braking hard and
downshifting, manage the load changes
sensitively to exit a curve with a very big
radius and go straight into an extremely
tight bend.
Monza/Italy
Type: right-hand corner (oval).
Character: the curve that never ends.
This extremely long-sweeping turn can
be taken quicker than you think due to
the almost imper­ceptible incline on the
inside.
