me too ... needs a gloss black roof

The noise coming from the cameras mounted on the rear / side of the car is epic, very evocative.
Sounds like a mixture of exhaust and induction from the scoops.

The Crayon car around 3.30 is what it looks like to me in the metal with the hint of brown in it.

Ref the Whites I had significant deliberation on my GT4 between White and CWM , and after much investigation I really couldn't tell the difference in most situations .....

This is my current deliberation, It is hard to tell the different between the two as you say but the CWM does give a slightly brighter appearance and an slightly bluish tint. Its whether its worth 800 quid? I currently have CWM selected but might change to standard white.

Taffy, we'll end up with the same spec!

For what its worth, I reckon the Miami cars are going to look very good in the flesh with either platinum or black wheels and especially with PCCB's
Off to Goodwood now for the weekend camping. Looking forward to seeing it go up the hill...

What's the earliest Manual date anyone has confirmed in system?

I think mine is one the the very first, certainly the first that my OPC will be getting. It's due to commence build 22nd September, arrives in the U.K. 14th October and to dealer by the 20th October.

Well an eventful lock day . Did a last minute check on delivery ... was 28th August but today had pushed out to 22nd Sept . Fantastic news ! This put me in the window for manual and car was changed . Don't have a new delivery yet but hopefully similar to yours .... I'll stay out of the dealers way for a few days following my various last minute changes .

Does anyone know if the GT3 has done the hillclimb yet? If so, any link to a vid would be much appreciated

it does it twice a day, not very exciting when you have a Ferrari 250GTO going up the hill or other such mega rare items.

The Ferrari section is the best bit at Goodwood this year by a mile.

Also had September build slot. Dealer now swapped with a later order as no PTS and Touring Pack available yet

Yes it went up in the supercar slot today which was delayed about an hour to around 12.45 or so.

Only have awful iPhone video.

Comp between Crayon/Chalk and Sport Classic grey if it helps : Sport Classic has a tiny amount of washed out duck egg blue hue to it - chalk is more "grey" - FWIW I preferred Chalk

[Scott Parker]

Crayon is a shocking horrible colour....... no one choose it!

If not if you seach 911 GT3 on Twitter one of the first tweets is the Goodwood FOS Twitter account with that vid.

Looks like it might be Carmine Red ?

No, all the cars at Goodwood are Guards. The one on the stand is a manual and the one going up the hill is PDK

[2010spy]

It looks very very nice in Guards Red - I didn't think I would say that....

Cambridge OPC have just advertised a Crayon 991 GTS. Might be worth taking a peek if you are considering this colour and are able to pop to Cambridge. I do think it looks better with black rims and red callipers. This is a good walkaround vid of a Crayon GT3 posted yesterday by an OPC -

Well really glad I can't get a GT2 as I'm not liking the plasticy rear bumper and some of the add ons, I think they have over done it all..
