2014 Sebring 12hr Winner, ALMS and British GT Champion drives the 991 GT3.

This should settle a lot of the BS about this car.

I missed that incident (obv heard about G making his point) but that is not to what I was referring as that was not out of turn 1.
There must have been a few white manual 911's spinning that day then smile

Keep the banter friendly boys,no harm in getting on the grass once in a while,shows you are exploring the limits of both.
I wondered if the handle was linked to a mil sub,great watch.
The vid does prove nothing, apart from Marino having a great time in a fast car with good turn in,not sure where the BS comes in.

What about the casual chat with AP? It may be the most cringe worthy thing I have ever seen.
I about passed out from embarrassment at the moment AP said "Its very close to a real race car" while Hartly is stood there thinking, "ehm, you do know I drive an LMP car right?". Hartly can't even look at AP it's so bad.

For those that haven't yet thrown up today...

I remember mr P and the pre launch of the 997rs 2,i asked a simple question about the diff and was it better at the job than the gt2,he then went on to dis the gt2! With a load of tosh.

The same with the pre prod 918,i asked a question comparing the cgt,he then went on to dis the cgt, i do wonder if he really understands what drivers want from a motorsport themed car.

Brendon was funny especialy with the broken camera man in the vid !nice guy,we shared the pit space with him and porsche at silverstone last year,it was a pleasure to see him blast past me in the Gt1 on track.
