    Thanks Ricardo, Gezen!
    It was a lovely cold winter day.
    Dry cold, as most winter days in Madrid, and it didnt bite.
    I used brand new Michelin PS4S in F12 Berlinetta sizes.
    I couldnt follow my friends 997TT, GT2 and Speziale but I could match or go quicker than my bro 430 and friends Mac650 & 991S.
    Even with larger size upfront she still understeers if not correctly pointed after sacrificing a bit on the entrance.
    With no HTGE, she feels soft even in Race position.
    Brakes wise she felt really good. Powerful, well planted and no rear dancing or whatsoever. (I like straight braking, though, getting her down to proper corner speed and cruise thereafter .. a result of having being born in the 60´s I guess ;)
    We did some 3/4 laps intervals and the car never heated up. No engine light . I do not have the secondary cats, though. I experience much less heat on the central tunnel and cabin since I removed them for a pair of straight pipes.
    A funny thing. I was the only car to get a too-much-noise notice . It seems that the furthest circuit corner is the closest to a resident area and most of the track days it is forbidden to go above a preset level of decibels. Either the rest were more prudent than me or these V12s really scream on acceleration!

    Photos really fail to show the subtle styling cues of the 612’s rear end, which can look very bland in two dimensional images, but has understated yet purposeful body lines and creases that make it one of the most elegant automotive designs of the past several decades IMHO.
