Limerock runs an “autocross” event, but it’s on a mini circuit, not a parking lot with cones. I had never done anything on track before, so I had to try with the Taycan.
Going in I had two concerns: battery, and the weight of the car. The battery concern was even more than normal since the forecast was for 90 degrees.
On arrival, I had about 85%. There are four Porsche-branded level 2 chargers near the track, so I plugged it in while we walked the track.
Once it was time to drive the car was at 94%. Driving the car hard for several hours on and off still left me with 54% by the end. Amazing.
In terms of performance, I had a blast. It’s a really heavy sedan, but as others have said, Porsche did an excellent job making the weight less noticeable. The car was extremely quick out of the corners, and had an advantage over other cars that were maxing out the RPMs on one straight in 2nd gear. The limiting factor was 100% my beginner level, not the car at all.
Had a great time,would highly recommend.
