Owners were assigned one instructor each, so it's a personal training for 2 days. For myself, they assigned the same instructor from my Master-RSR course in Leipzig back in April, so he knows my ability and tendencies already. Their top instructors are also on hand, Jens Richter and Matthias Hoffsuemmer included.
An extra treat was Porsche also had Timo Bernhard flew in straight from Shanghai after his race to be our guest instructor. He drop by to say hi on Monday but he was visibly jet lagged and his session with us didn't start till Tuesday.
Porsche had custom made Stand21 race suit, helmets, gloves and shoes made for us with 918 Spyder Circle logo and our car's limitation number, in black and acid green, very nice touch. Just that set alone would be around 4000 Euro.
Anyway, I started with the GT3RS on the track, proceeded to the 918 and then the Cup car, rinse and repeat for 2 days straight. What a blast! Instructors uses the GT3RS as the lead car for the GT3RS and Cup car sessions and another 918 when we do the 918 sessions. The GT3RS is just soooooooooooooooooooooooo good on the track. very forgiving and capable. Astonishing grip on the big sweepers. One time, during the initial sessions, I noticed that the instructor hit the brake briefly just before taking the last turn, being the idiot that I am, I tried taking it without braking, big mistake, there was a bump just before entering and that upset the car a little bit, not a problem when we enter it at around 150ish, but it is at 170+. So I proceed to lose the tail at 170+ but the electronics stepped in, and I caught back up to him without losing much time. Not quite scary, but more about fun. A few more turns I also briefly got the tail out a little, but my instructor kept pressing on even when he saw those as he knows me enough that I wasn't in too much trouble haha.
In the 918, hmm. What can I say, it's a blast again haha. It's just astonishing how explosive the car is on corner exits, it just about touches 290km/hr at the end of the front straight, for comparison, the GT3RS only did around 240-250km/hr with me at the wheel. We drove with Race mode on, as I am not quite a competent driver, my instructor was always pulling away from me after every corner, then I realized I can cheat! I turn on Hot Lap mode and boom, it made a hugh difference in corner exits, I can actually catch him, he was a bit surprised too until after the session I told him about the little cheat 
Cup car was just on another planet, they can corner soooooooo hard and brake so hard it's not even funny. I drove one before and I said I only used 60%, this time I think I got better and I think I got to 70% now, still long ways to go that's for sure.
At the end of the day, I am putting up just around the same lap times between the 3 cars, around 2:06ish or so. For comparison, they the instructors are doing 1:58s in the GT3RS, 2:00ish in the 918 and around 1:50 in the Cup car. The .2 Cup car is in the 1:47-48 range. I know what Chris Harris did in the 918 at Portimao, but when he did his laps the temperatures are much warmer than now, so the times aren't really compatible. At Leipzig I was a good 20+ seconds behind the instructors in the Cup car, now it's less than that and I am quite satisfied. As the time says, I had gotten more out of the 918 than I did in the RS, shocking to me too as I thought I was more comfortable inside the RS.
At the end of the second day, Timo did hot lap taxi rides in the .2 Cup car. Even with an extra person inside the car, I can feel the extra kick from the increased mid range torque of the new engine, fantastic to be sure.
The event was not without drama, a couple Cup cars got wrecked, but no one is injured and that's the most important thing. Cup car has no electronic safety net and it can bite if one is not careful with the throttle. Huge respect to those that drive them for a living.
I am so looking forward to next year's events, we will again have ice driving in Finland in March, Hockenheim track event in May, South of France in early June, Goodwood again in late June, track day event again at Paul Ricard in November and then another secret event in November also.
P.S. During their Sports Driving School, a GT4 ran around the track at 2:02, not far behind the 918
