Well I love it, and just aero mods and the normal 3 way coilovers.

One day Porsche will fit passive shocks back to a GT3...…..:-)

Looked easy as well to quote the driver, (vs crazy laps we some times see)

""That was a lot of fun. Even with the parts package, the balance of the car is extremely good, so I did not have to take a lot of risk to be fast. I only had one try that day due to the falling darkness. It worked out right away."

Pretty cool really.

The amount of throttle he's using on the exits, often before the apex... does it have superglue for rear tyres?

In context to some of the crazy laps we see yes very little steering input, car was on rails.
As I quoted form the driver, well balanced, no risks taken, one attempt, job done.

Not sure how hundred laps you have done there ,( not on a video game , but live where it hurts when you go off ) but although that looked OK , that pace there and the concentration needed is not easy for most of us .

I don’t think 911R was implying it was easy, I.e. does not require great skill. It did look “easy” or maybe smooth would have been a better word, compared to other such laps we have seen in the past.

Very impressive.

Still a Luddite who prefers the GT3RS though I expect the 992RS to be Turbo too and those screaming revs to be history.

Lars is a real expert ,i thought ffs thats quick,commiting and he must have done 1000,s of laps at the ring to be useing the kerbs and lines he does,with the speed he is carrying is truly stunning.
The traction control is interesting.
No arm chair peddling there,awesome,shame about the noise ,but driving as cool and fast as that,its the least of a issue.
Good manthey promo for some fettling,then just 5000 laps to get on the pace properly.
Hunter you know what to do if your frustrating;),get down to that club for a beer.;)
