No, a link to the video has already been posted in TR and eager FTers are watching it as we speak. Just go to TR and do a search for "FCT video". 
But next time I fly through I'm definitely going to take advantage of this. A 911 on the Autobahn is much better than anything the inside of the FCT has to offer. And I can exaggerate my driving prowess as well.

Anyone want to split this deal with me? And no, I'm not trying to be cheap, I surprisingly can't drive a manual.
I'll be arriving on LH 403 at 07:35 on 16 July and have until 14:00.
I last tried to drive a stick across the Spain for a week, but after struggling to get it off the lot I was forced to (although wisely) upgrade to an automatic. Sad I know.
Let me know if anyone wants to be my personal driver for the day though...

Has anyone done this? Worthwhile for a bit of excitement? I'm not really a big car guy, just thinking it could be fun... Or just a waste of cash?

I think it would be fun- if you have the time to spare it is a nice way to spend a few hours in the afternoon.

The new 911 (991) is offered either in PDK or manual transmission, 7 gears in either version. However I suppose that the rental ones are PDK aka double-clutch, similar to an automatic.

Thinking I'll do it. Now I just have to remember not to drink...
Any route suggestions? Don't really know which of those would be best. Would like to reach a high speed at some point on the trek.
I am departing FRA on TG F so the FCT is out for me. Will they still let me drop it off at the FCT?
Feel free to PM me if anyone wants to join...

3-hour rental including 150 km, fuel and insurance for only €99.10 – this offer applies exclusively to HON Circle Members and First Class passengers (additional charges per km: €0.99, €1,500 excess)
24-hour rental including 200 km and insurance for only €249.60 (excluding fuel)
By the way- at least in my experiences the very high level authorizations do not take place in Europe the way they do in the United States.

Does "valid boarding pass same day" and "First Class passengers" mean to be eligible for this offer if arriving in LH F (-> F boarding pass from day before) and connecting to a domestic LH C ?
