Great find...thanks for posting!....

I must be getting old as I am getting a little bored of these test drivers throwing the car around......that is not the quickest way to drive a Gt3, smooth considered lines are better surely???

Have to agree,,,,,,,recently there was a video posted on here of japanese journalist driving various cars,993 GT2, TT, Ferrari etc.......
They were driven over the same road and you could see the difference in the way the cars reacted to the turns and the differing ammounts of work the driver had to put in...
The video above does look cool,,,,but may as well have been computer generated for the relevance it will have to 99% of Gt3 drivers on a tight mountain road.

Don't GT3 drivers have to sign a contract to agree to drive their cars in such a fashion whenever conditions allow?

In all seriousness though, surely most GT3 drivers should be able to provoke and sustain a powerslide in their cars?

a valid theory if you subscribe to the school of thought that your driving ability is directly related to the size of your wallet.

The more i see the GT3 the more i want over the Turbo.......

Shouldnt be a hard decision really.

Very impressive. Might not be the quickest way to drive, but that man must have balls the size of coconuts.
