Miss being out on track with the track nuts/fam. This video brought back a lot of memories from the RWB x Friends event that Mark hosted for us — crazy to think it’s been almost a year already. Life changes fast, and sometimes we don’t realize we’re living the ā€œgood old daysā€ until the moment has already passed. Defintiely makes me appreciate all shared memories, track days, conversations, laughs, and meals shared with this crew even more - really grateful for every one of you. Also, the audio is spot on: it’s not chaos (not even a bit), it’s all zen for me while out on track. Likely why I’m also slow AF. šŸ¤£ā˜ ļø #porsche #porschemoment #getoutanddrive #Mobil1 #RWB

Happy Mother’s Day, @rhodabueno — seriously one of the biggest badasses I know. 🤩 The way you balance being an amazing mom, wife, and absolute ā€œBeastā€ in the corporate world, while still showing up for everyone around you, the way you do, is honestly crazy impressive to watch. You hold everything together with so much ease and grace, and we’re SO blessed to have you. Today, more than other days, we celebrate you šŸ’œ #MothersDay2026

No rush, no agenda. Just a chill Saturday morning surrounded by good friends, good vibes, and cars that deserve to be driven. @svmotorclub Cars & Coffee āœŒšŸ¼ #porsche #porschemoment #992gt3rs #porschelife #porschefriends

Finally got the @corsair x @fanatec_official ClubSport sim rig fully built over the weekend… and I’m lucky to have gotten some help from the fam (@rhodabueno @jakeushijima @alfonsoa__ @hiiimtabitha ) šŸ™šŸ¼šŸ˜… Big upside right from the start — being able to check everything out in person at Corsair Valley Fair was a game changer. Got hands-on with the hardware, worked with their team to spec the right setup, and even lucked into a 30% in-store deal that made it all feel like a no-brainer. Now… the reality check: This thing is a UNIT. Between all the boxes on the pallet, you’re basically moving ~300 lbs of gear before you even start. The build itself? Not exactly plug-and-play. Some of the metal tolerances were tight, so lining things up and getting screws in cleanly took patience (and a bit of finesse to not ruin threading). The biggest miss though — the electronics install onto the rig. Pedals, shifter, wheel base… none of them came with the hardware needed to mount onto the rig. Ended up making a Home Depot run and guessing my way through sizing, which definitely slowed things down more than it should have. All that said… End result? Worth it. šŸ’Æ The rig looks insane, feels legit, and completely transforms the experience. Just wish Corsair closed the loop on the ā€œconvenienceā€ factor. If you’re selling a full ecosystem — it should truly be fully turnkey. That’s the real value prop vs piecing it together yourself. Still… for a casual like me getting into sim racing, this setup is perfection. #SimRacing #Fanatec #Corsair #RacingSimulator

Back at it again šŸ There’s something special about kicking off the 2026 @gtworldchallengeamerica season @racesonoma with our Porsche family - fast cars, loud engines, and even better people. What started as a simple day at the races has turned into a tradition I look forward to every single year. Grateful for this crew and the community we continue to build together, right here in our backyard. Big thank you to Robbie for always showing up for us - not just as a good friend, but as someone who genuinely supports us and the Motorsport community. And of course, @monchter , for wrangling all of the cats and for somehow pulling it all together every year. ✨ Same time next year? šŸ–¤šŸŽļø #GTWorldChallenge #SonomaRaceway #PorscheFriends #Porsche #CarCommunity

Such a treat! Got an early birthday dinner with @rhodabueno , @alfonsoa__ , and @hiiimtabitha over the weekend. Life gets really busy and a little crazy sometimes, but moments like this are a reminder of what really matters. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized family time is truly irreplaceable. I’d give just about anything for more of it. Whether it’s family by blood or family by choice — at the end of the day, it’s always the people that matter most. šŸ¤ #earlybirthdaydinner

GT4RS (1:57.5) vs. GT3RS (1:57.6) at Thunderhill East (bypass) — only 0.10 sec apart (for now… 27 laps of seat time in). Despite the significantly increased sense of grip in the 3RS, I was surprised to see I was still carrying more speed through some of the same corners in the 4RS. It also shows how much margin there still is in the 911 — I never quite felt like we were truly leaning on the edge of its grip yet. It’s also fun seeing how differently each car generates speed around the track. The aero on the GT3RS clearly helps plant the car through high-speed sections, but that same downforce also comes with a tradeoff in top-end speed on the straights. Meanwhile, the mid-engine GT4RS has that playful balance that makes it fun to carry momentum through corners. Worth noting: I haven’t driven a rear-engine 911 on track since ~2022, so there’s definitely a bit of a learning curve after going all-in on developing my driving in the Cayman platform. Still fascinating how different these two cars are while ending up at essentially the same lap time. All that said, I am feeling very fortunate to have the chance to enjoy these toys where they were meant to be: on track. Then you add on the community/family that accompanies these experiences - what more can one ask for? #porsche #gt4rs #gt3rs #getoutanddrive #porschemoment

@spmotorsports 2026 IMSA Lamborghini Super Trofeo Launch Party šŸšŸŽļø @rhodabueno and I always joke that we’re ā€œtoo oldā€ for events like these… but we had a great time catching up with our track family and meeting fellow motorsport addicts. Nights like these remind me how amazing this community really is. Huge thanks to @mai8world and @_chasen.g_ for the invite and for being such gracious hosts — we really appreciate you thinking of us. Now the countdown is on… track season kicks off in early March, and I can’t wait to get back out there: helmet on, visor down, and driving a fast car slowly. šŸ¤£ā˜ ļø #TrackFamily #TrackSeason #TrackAddict

So glad we pulled this off - these two rarely share the same frame unless it’s a track day, so huge thanks to @ryan.lfa for making it happen. šŸŽļø: 718 GT4RS in Fjord Green and 992 GT3RS in Aubergine Different flavors, same obsession šŸ #Porsche #FjordGreen #Aubergine #GT4RS #GT3RS
