Just finished the Porsche Racing Experience at Vallelunga. A 5 day course from Porsche with full support from Manthey Racing.

We have real racing for the last day, a team endurance and individual sprint races. 

They used a 918 as our safety car, and during one of the races it was needed. I was the 1st place car following the 918.

Porsche brought in Joerg Bergmeister as the safety car driver. He was absolutely at the limit of the 918 during corners just to stay ahead of the Cup cars even at safety car speed.  I wasn't even close to the professionals in skill level and in the Cup car, I wasn't even trying around corners while the 918 was already sliding sideways. But once on the straight, the 918 is gone. Like gone. No chance to even keep up. 

He took one of the Manthey mechanics as a passenger and that poor guy puked out the side window onto the track during the safety car laps. Twice. 

Will do a more thorough posting when I get home, heading to airport now.
