Driver Skills School has improved my enjoyment of the BRZ

I just took the BRZ to the Porsche Driver Skills day in Bremerton, WA. That was a blast! It was basically a whole day of my butt glued to the seat while I did 6 different drills.

This is definitely the best upgrade I have done for the BRZ

There's no replacement for seat time. Autocross conditions are great because they really teach you the difference between feeling fast and being fast. Glad you enjoyed yourself! Keep tracking it!
