Very entertaining, and some crazy driving....

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

He won't have that GT4 for long. He drives like he is trying to set a lap record. Hard to do when there are a lot of other inexperienced drivers on the track.

He takes a very weird line when coming into a tight turn.
He’ll run out of track if he keeps doing that.
Shame; such a nice car!
Happy Boxstering

yep--crazy seems to be the operative word..

He's darn lucky that thing can brake. The first turn he almost rearended that white Miata.

Is it normal for manual transmission cars to have a gear selection indicator in the console?

Yes. 981's all have it for both manual and PDK.

1. This certainly drops my interest in ever doing a lap at the ‘Ring with all the traffic
2. The Lambo driver is an ass. He should have moved over. Oh well, he owns a Lambo!
3. I like the way the cars being passed signaled where they were going - mostly keeping right. Seems like a good idea and would be useful at DE’s as it allows drivers to keep hands on the wheel.

Perhaps I can help you with #2.

Watch the video again. The Lambo has superior acceleration in the straights. But the GT4 catches him in the corners. Realzing this, the Lambo driver, at 4:40, moved to the right to allow the driver in the GT4 to pass. Rather than accepting the offer, the GT4 driver chose to spin his right hand as a demonstration of impatience? superior driving skills? a tiny appendage? Who knows. In any event the GT4 driver preferred to ride the ass of your so-called 'ass'.

He even says as much in the caption to the video:

"First time I've seen a Performante so couldn't resist having a closer look! Thanks to the driver for offering me multiple times to pass, however I wanted to keep his cool car in the picture so apologies for staying close! "

Not the other driver's fault at all.
