They are all pretty good (but don't expect any "overtake only on the left" rules - these events are run closer to test days and you really have to be aware of what goes on around you...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
22 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.
PistonHeads: 1 discussions
0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Any Brits going? Planning a roadtrip later this year and booked this event as part of a journey through Spain & Portugal.
Haven't driven Portimao before so any tips would be appreciated!

I've driven Portimao once (this March). There are lots of blind crests and similar looking corners on entry that are completely different on exit.
The main braking zone on the front straight is tricky as well - it starts exactly as the car goes light over a crest, and is then fairly steeply downhill.
It takes some getting used to, but it's a great track!

Fantastic track, happy days with BAT Iberia 2017
Out of curiosity are there any other options, different providers, similar to this though where you can turn up and drive, at other circuits in the UK, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria?

It's an aggregator for lots of trackday organisers in Europe. Obviously a Porsche Masters event is pretty high quality/class compared to some of the others.
I've used RSR (Spa), Pistenclub (Hockenheim), Freddy Barth (Dijon), TrackAttack (Portimao) and Motorsponsor (Estoril). They are all pretty good (but don't expect any "overtake only on the left" rules - these events are run closer to test days and you really have to be aware of what goes on around you...
Thanks MEP, have invested in a fairly rudimentary SIM to learn the circuit before going!
TDT- didn’t do the earlier courses, have history is circuit racing which approved me to sign up for this day
My next problem is break pads, the 992 GT3 don’t have the initial bite of the 991. Has anyone tried the PAGID RSC1, which have been recommended or Manthey pad?

Ok yep - I wondered that - if you have other relevant experience - then you could bypass their prerequisite courses.
Ref pads - I'm running RSC1 with Surface Transform rotors on my GT4 - so can imagine they will work well enough with OEM PCCB rotors - minus MR tax!.

Thanks, have enquired to see if they can be fitted at the track, will make sure I share photos from the day!
TDT said:
Enjoy. Look forward to the write up and maybe some video.
Brakes sorted?
Breaks sorted! There’s a small army of mechanics here who fitted them last night, much better bite than the ones supplied!

Calm before the storm, no GT shortage here, 150 gt cars on site!
Do you drive one of their cars?
I’ve brought my own but 30 out of the 32 cars are Porsche supplied, there’s a rolling fuel truck and mechanics looking after them so that seems to be the way to go if you’ve got the cash
