997 GT3rs Limited Edition coming?

[APOLO1]

My understanding is that a London car went to a F1 Driver. Along with it was not up to the OPC to decide who has a car, it was left up to PCGB.

[GT3RS]

Which F1 driver do we know?

[Rugbyman]

JB has had CGT and GT3RS in the past so could be him

[GT3RS]

He doesn't buy from that dealer

[Rugbyman]

I know the dealer he usually buys through but I guess he could have changed to ensure he got an allocation

Or could be someone else entirely .......although wouldnt that be scottish dealer as local ....?

If a non UK driver wouldnt they buy from their 'local' country dealer ?

Indeed, and has been sighted doing PR at the Porsche experience center and recently demoed the GT1 '98 at the opening of the Red Bull Ring... If he asked for one I am fairly certain that he would be getting one...

[Rugbyman]

It does say a lot about the car as these wheelmen could have any car they want

and 2 of the nicest F1 drivers too

You lucky people who get one are in very good company .... must make you feel even better about your choice ?

I personally know of a number of F1 drivers over the years that have ran a 911 RS, as a personal car.

Apparently this 4.0 one, is an absolute screamer……..

Porsche claims a ring time of 7.27 compared to the rs of 7.33.

If valid would be an absolute screamer!

God what a gorgeous car that it .......which begs the question ....

Which would you rather have in your garage ? the 2.7 RS icon or the very latest Stuttgart metal 4.0 swansong ?

ETA and 'NO' you cant have both .....

Thats one of those "would you prefer to be blind or deaf" sort of questions. Loss of either painful. In the end I would go for the earlier car, (let's forget cost), because there will continue to be faster and better moderns, but there's only on Daddy.........

[Steve Rance]

I'll take the 4.0 car all day long... Provided the active suspension is thrown away and its got some decent passive dampers on it

I have no doubt that the GT R is the performance bargain of the century, and will likely beat just about anything. I just can't warm to it ,though, despite its numbers. Maybe I'm too old for the graphics
