I find the new seats uncomfortable as the squab does not offer enough under thigh support... the older style are better fro me.

Strange how the different seats suit different people.

I have done UK to Italy in 1 hit in both a 991 GT3 with folding buckets, and a 991RS with full buckets, and found the fixed buckets more comfortable.

A factory mass produced seat won't suit everyone's body shape hence the split in the fixed and folding buckets and some even going for 'chairs'

Ha! I'm not a fan, looks a bit washed out to me. Someone near me has a 991 Turbo Cab in Lava Orange, really doesn't work on that IMHO.

I think it works on the GT3RS but that has more black accents on it which is possibly why as there is more of a contrast?

That's because it's salmon Pink and not Orange in real life, great in over saturated pic internet, rank in the flesh.

I was on about the car, not the colour. Got told today that I am not a chosen one.

It seems you're used to radioactive salmon. If you buy the expensive stuff, like I do, then its actually very different to tinned John West.

Just saw this article linked to on Rennlist

http://www.autoblog.com/2017/04/19/porsche-gt3-not...

AP is quoted as saying that if the GT3 race car goes turbocharged because of regulations then the "street GT3" will go turbocharged too.....

To quote "If we decide to go the atmospheric route in racing, it's definitely clear that we follow the same route on the GT street cars as well"

I was under the impression there was more allocation to come later in the year - is this not the case??!!

This year all gone and smaller allocation next year which I am also unlikely to feature in.......Unless Sir would like to buy a Cayenne and maybe a Turbo S which will improve your chances.
