Did a quick search and found nothing on here about it, but has anyone else seen their new Leipzig facility and the test track right next to it?

It is a road circuit with a lot of corners profiles exactly like those at GP circuits. 130R from Suzuka, the corkscrew from Laguna Seca, bus stop chicane from Spa and others. Very nice looking facility very handy for all the GT racing plus there is a full grid and pits complex for the "in-house" racing and also track days (so I hear).

Funnily enough I was supposed to go there today ! Been there before though. It's a superb facility with all the corners you have mentioned, albeit they are somewhat downscaled. They have built it very much like a full on race track, even the grid lines & start lights and about 10 pit garages are there. The circuit can also be seperated into three (maybe more) sections. The Restaurant and display of cars is also very nice. Funny thing is, the whole Porsche place is somwhat smaller than you think.

They also have a 1,5 mile off road test track for the Cayenne. I highly recommend anyone to pick up their car there. I believe its only 300 € or so, but you get to use both tracks and some lunch too, which is excellent. They also do a variety of driving events there. Plus there's quite a few GT's flying about.
