Excellent! Did you feel a difference between the 3.8 and 4.0 then?
TBH it's the first time I've driven a GT3 but yes I did feel a slight difference!I think you would need to have them both for an extended run though to make a fair comparison so you could get up and down the box. Because it's only a small track never got out of 3rd gear.
Both epic machines though with exceptional handling and the grip was phenomenal!!

How is the new track?
I assume it is better as it is longer but..............
The new track is better there is a nice straight on it where you can put your foot down, the older track is a bit tighter in the gt3 RS and the 4.0 I just left it in third gear going round the old track still enjoyable though! I assume it is better as it is longer but..............
I actually really enjoyed the gt3, I drove that one last I had built up confidence and got used to the tracks!
The 4.0 was an awesome car so much power, came off the track and went on the straight to test it brakes, this basically meant me flooring it from standstill and emergency breaking (when I thought I should) before I got to the end of the track, of course I kept breaking way too early until my instructor said next time I will give you the cue amazing how it stops so quick!!

They've updated the website to show the new tracks:http://www.porsche.com/silverstone/en/porschedrivi...
I just wish they'd let you take the RS course on the Silverstone International circuit!
I'm keen to go back to try the new tracks, but really the centre's USP is that you may get to drive a car that would otherwise you may not get an opportunity to - ever!
My best experience there was a drifting course. I was in a GT3 with an instructor for half a day on their teeny infield part of the original circuit and it was an immensely enjoyable lesson in car control. I could of spent a week doing the same thing!

Ah, the low friction surface. Didn't realise they allowed the GT3 on that. Yes, must have a go at that some time!Chris.
