I didn't know about this until today when Talk to Rick. Rick use to race porsches and now is in charge of the Porsche press fleet.
This is a great story, he let this kid pilot a boxster around mosport for 5 laps.

RIck is a very patient and understanding instructor that is for sure, and trusting! He is so calm and collected the entire time. He showed me around Mosport once as well, he pushed me to my limit by the second lap and was still calling me out very calmly. Amazing stuff!

I live my life one parking lot at a time. For those 60 seconds or less, I'm free. (Snow & Ice filled lots included)
