Looks like GT3, means no wing now , nice colours though .. . Good marketing as track days are becoming costly and most do not want to do them .

Hardly surprising. Mean people keep posting videos of how slowly (except on the WOT straights) 992 GT3’s are driven.

Plenty of fast cars driven slowly on every trackday I’ve ever done. So what. Fair play for people having a go.

Holding people up lap after lap is not cool though. Which is a very different thing.

Everyone pays the same entry. No one has any greater right. IME, if a car’s behind me into corners, several in a row, it’s quicker and I’ll go out of my way to let it past. My ego is not big enough to prevent me from being overtaken.

I agree ... there's something to be learned from trying to follow ... so long as they don't fall-off smile

The right seats if you’re going to drive it long distances…

These are good points to make
Circuit driving should quickly ensure you know tha capabilities of you and your car. I’m always more than prepared for
faster cars and happy to use indicators to move off line.However
I don’t appreciate Gt3’s passing on long straights only
to go slow in twisty bits

Agree. Broader point is, no matter whether your are extremely fast or extremely slow, so have equal right to be on circuit, but in neither case should your pace be to the detriment of others. Consideration works all ways round.

It’s a Touring so there are no right or wrong seats

Does anyone know if there is an option that gets rid of that plasticy chequer plate style front corner of the dash/big flat bit above glove box and substitutes it for leather? It seems to be on every GT3 I've looked at but on the RS you can either have it as leather or race-tex. I think it looks really tacky and it's also on the top of the door trim.








As opposed to this in the RS:

Buckets are the best seats - also for long distances. My back hurts badly in the sofas after latest one hour. In the buckets (folding or otherwise) I can do five to six hours in one go and feel fresh afterwards

I think this is very much a personal choice. Part hieght, part padding (or lack of) and also pert injury/age related issues.

Personally, I can drive 3-4hrs straight in the narrow Carrera GT type, fixed back carbon buckets. I can appreciate how or why not everyone would.

Agreed. But I think your body shape dictates whether the buckets work for you or not - I frequently did 4-5 hour trips without a break, only stopped when I needed fuel.
I wouldn’t consider one, Touring or otherwise, without buckets.

Saw this at Mid Sussex yesterday; stunning, but think if I was paying I’d want a blue or arctic grey
