Porsche have a white GT3 reg no. 911 GB been spotted out and about. Shouldn't be long before they give it to Autocar to road test.
Looking fwd to reading all the facts and figures. Mine was built on the 12th, so should have it soon.

Autocar's Car of the year in 2013 the 991 GT3 has yet to be given the full road test treatment by the magazine.
That car was a red german registered one, just like the blue car that featured in there 2014 Best handling video.
As they have road tested the 458 sp and the 650 S, it's about time they road tested the GT3. Porsche GB have now
got a rhd car on there press fleet, so i'm waiting for them to test it. Sport Auto and Road & Track tested the car long ago.
IMHO Autocar do the job better than anybody.

Chris Harris tweeted a while ago that he was doing a GT3 vs Speciale video...said it wasn't "unique" but felt it a necessity!

He's not working with Drive any more. He's launching his own free-to-view channel in the next week or so.

I'd watch GT3 versus Speciale every day of the week. Unless it was Sutcliffe.

Fully agree on SS, I like Tiff, his vid with JP on the 12C was "BAFTA" material......Would love to see CH in 918 and really give it the beans....

That car is bad karma for weather I'm telling you. It was there on the goldtrack silverstone day in october when it was equally pouring with rain (and just after a fabulous day just before!).... banghead

I saw this car a few weeks back on M27 heading west toward Bournemouth... Holy mother of all thats holy did it go when 2 lanes opened up to 3. I was on a ZZR1400 and had to crack the throttle a little to keep up, which does not usually happen with cars, but this was proper fast ! (I did blast pass once he moved over though :-))

Grrr....that explains the monsoon weather today then!
A bit disconcerting to hit a lake on the Wellington straight and the car twitch at 90+ mph eek
...not to mention driving behind a trail of cars and being able to only make out the one immediately in front of me...the rest lost in spray...including a few Caterhams with no rear lights! eekeek

...anyway, back end of the day was ok (911 GB must have taken a break smile )...practiced slides and catches at the end wink
