RS will like the roads in France. Watch out for the French Fuzz on the motorways.

Country roads are superb and much more fun. You just don't eat the miles quite so quickly.

A few from the first day - half way there.

LeMans passed in the blink of an eye



RS performed faultlessly - such a good GT car and surprisingly easy to put up with on the autoroute ( have a Sharkwerks full bypass system on it - the same as the cup racers smile)

Will update as we go!
Fuel stop - Redbull required



Tonight's resting spot - just outside Tours

Just look at how much more presence that 997 has over the little 964!

Yup, need a 993 in between the two for the Shakira experience. The sexiest by far. hehe

listen to this - I thought the straight-though SharkWerks track pipe (same as the cup race cars - i.e. no silencing other than the cats) would be to loud for the journey down biggrin

My advice - if you own a 997 GT3RS and its not your only driver (yeh right) - just buy one of these.....

I pulled into a service station this morning and a British driver in an Astra Estate asked me if it was that loud inside as it was outside? Why? because I'd overtaken him a few miles back and he said he'd still heard me two valleys later biggrin

Here we go on the drive back to pick up {Mrs Rat} she was in charge of her I-phone, hence the less than "Shmee150" quality!
