Clearly I'm old fashioned, I learnt my craft on old bangers, how to H&T, double declutch and shift without using the clutch etc. By the time I'd worked my way up my dream car (old school 930 turbo) I was in my thirties and my first time on a track was a Porsche organised track day in that car. It was a bit of training, timed autocross and slalom followed by an afternoon free use of the track (Donnington) once you had been accompanied by an instructor (Touring car driver) who made sure you were safe and scored your ability.
It was a great day (made better by me winning the event) the 930 seem to come alive on the track and it all seemed perfectly natural - I spent nearly about 45mins chasing down another 930 turbo until I finally caught up to him and he pointed me by, a pass which was short lived as by then I was out of fuel and had to pit.
