Ah, so another 911 GT3 RGT, this time piloted by Porsche factory driver Romain Dumas.

Comments are a bit 'meeow' frankly.
Not at all (if you mean me that is). Went out of my way to qualify and temper my comments which were made from viewing a couple of vids - which of course is not the same as intimate knowledge of a guy's skills and record (as I also said).

I didn't rubbish Tuthills's driving in any way. Merely commented that I'd like to see an absolute top guy (that could be Tuthill for all I know) at full commitment in this car and don't feel that we've seen this yet.

Apologies if anyone has misunderstood my posts - although, personally I think they were pretty clear and there's a little bit of oversensitivity being displayed.smile

Cheers. Good viewing. But, again, quite 'gentle'. All things being relative of course!

Gentle? What? Are we watching the same video? hehe

It didn't look very gentle to me, with the ear defenders almost falling off after 30 seconds, sideways at speed, big air and a lot of 2WD old school 911 control.

Are you Ghost Rider? hehe (all in good jest...)

Good little video on the WRC website: http://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/media/videos/page/112--8...

Interesting to see tha they're limited to about 320bhp, presumably FIA are making them run the same size restrictors as the WRC cars to make sure they don't get too quick.

Very excited to see how he gets on, I would love to see this rgt/gt3 class take off.
