[911 habit]

Porsche website reports:

Three months after the public presentation of the new 911 Carrera (997), we are now pleased to unveil the first racing version of this sports car. The 911 GT3 Cup 2005 is intended as a near-series vehicle for racing by customers and will initially compete exclusively in the Porsche Michelin Supercup in 2005.

The GT3 Cup 2005 features a sequential transmission with interruption of tractive power which enables upshifting at full throttle. The chassis has been revised for even greater precision and further enhanced driving dynamics. And for the first time, Porsche is deploying the revolutionary Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) in motor racing.

Looks great - very purposeful with all that negative camber on the wheels.

Interesting that they're going as standard for the PCCB braking system - does this mean that they've cured any teething troubles shown up by cars that have tracked this system to date?

Probably not they will just provide discs and pads at cost to race teams some would say as a cynical marketing ploy to silence criticism of PCCB on road cars
