Invite to Cayman R Silverstone experience
- Thread starter Rotty
- Start date
If its the Porsche Driving Experience Centre, def go, I 've been a few times through work and its a great place to get a feel for the cars. Usually sales people from your centre will be there on the customer invite days, but its usually not for the hard-sell.

should I take the reg numbers of the Cayman Rs being used there so that I can avoid those ones if I ever want to buy one ?
Could be a good idea
I never got invited to those when i had PorschesI had too many arguments in there over the price of services i think.
The letter dis come from my local OPC so it looks like they do have to choice who to invite, I have had a few haggles over cost and 1 minor disagreement over a charge but it appears I am still on the good lads list

You obviously aint trying hard enough iv been asked to leave East London OPC on a number of occasions when iv had to go Rambo about a **** take bill
The centre is great and I got this (well my dad) - is it not £275? If it's not - see you there!
I went recently there to drive all of them over a day for free. Boxster, cayman, 911, panamera and cayenne. Was a good day with everything for free, breakfast, posh lunch (which is nice but VERY small) and a lot of porsches.
The boxster and cayman were great on the simulated ice hill they have. They let you take them out on your own and basically try and spin it! The 911 was around their track and the other 2 out on the main roads.
Their test track is short but ok i guess for the purposes.
They also have forza to play on
Unfortunately, unless my dad buys another one i think that's the last freebie we get
Edit: they also have a fitness centre with a reaction machine. On my day whoever got the highest score won a ride in the GT2RS they had - you need to be tall to win this though the guy who won was around 6'4!

Went yesterday and it was superb
excellent 3 course lunch, 90 mins on handling circuit ( prob about 75 mins driving )
some skid stuff on a thing called the kickplate which is a "zero" friction surface with a metal section that moves to kick you into a spin
a low friction circuit for a bit of drifitng and a trip onto an off orad section with one of their drivers
a few other minor bits, was about 4 hrs in total
the Cayman R is superb, doesn't feel a lot quicker than the S in a straight line but the handling is amazing ( even compared to the already superb S ) really came into it's own on a section of track with a mid bend camber change
would give the CF bucket seats a miss though, a bit old/fat for those
oh and not a salesman to be sean
