It was great to see at least 3 x 991 GT3's at Silverstone on Sunday. All driven hard. Impressive. If it were any chaps on this forum - fair play to you

Apart from being freezing cold, it was a very good day for getting some early in the year testing/track time. Wide assortment of Porsches from all generations.

There was a big turnout - apparently some 70 attendees - and a wide variety of interesting and exotic road and race cars.

But, I'll tell you the funniest thing - one of the quickest drivers out there was in a little black Caterham, rented for the day - a 16 year old school girl, who doesn't even have a driving licence, and had never driven a Caterham before. Obviously there was no timing nono - but I did see the data wink

One of those definitely is here but will leave him to reveal himself if he so chooses.. wink

Has to be the first day i saw more 991 gt3s on track than 6/7s even if i only managed to spot 2 of them out on track... The various gt3s (dark grey 7.1 as well) and the huracan definitely were the best sounding cars, imo a lot better than the speciale/458/mclaren. Didn't feel like 70 cars though i have to say as there wasn't a whole lot of traffic out on track.

Bloody cold in the wind but just about worth braving to see the brumos rsr. Quite a treat to see and full marks to wtdoom for taking that one out in the weather/temps! thumbup

I would have tried to make this one if only had not still been in run in mode.

Love winter dry track days. Often not crowded and people are usually more careful than on warm summer days.
