I went to the 2 day High Performance program(i.e. 2 day Basic program) in mid-April and had a great time. Unless something has changed since then, the Cayman S was available "only" for Trail braking, Heel-Toe Downshift and "other" exercises. The Autocross was run "only" with a Boxster Tip. Track sessions were pretty much as mlpor indicated - lead and follow in groups of 3 or 4 students with an instructor. For those (like me at the time) who had limited seat time in a Porsche or on track, it really was a good learning experience (heel-toe was weird at first). One group of guys from the New York area with a fair amount of track experience came together and were in one group. I think they probably were a little more advanced than the average "mixed" group. The instructors were great and all were eager to answer questions and help. I have a pic (I should upload it) of John Lewis on his knees next to me (sitting in a Cayman) trying to help me with the heel-toe footwork. Everything was first class and my wife and I were trated very well. I highly recommend it. BTW - I can verify that some instructors confirm no Cayman on track to show up base 911.
