991 GT3 rear wheel steering
Discussion
Many of you may have seen this video already buts its of the RWS working on the 991 GT3. Picture of the setup is also shown.
(Credit to Elephant Racing for both pic and video). Interesting to hear the thoughts people have after watching it work. Polarizing issue, likely to be more so after the video but ..........

Thanks for fixing the link 
I will lay my cards out and say that I am not a fan of this stuff at all. I don't think it has any place on a GT3 type car but each to their own. Im not about to take on a Don Quixote position. No one is forcing anyone to like it or buy it and there are always alternatives (including in this case just removing the unit and putting a straight control arm back in.....aftermarket anyone?). If its for you great, if not no sweat.
I often think that driving aids/systems don't exist for most people beyond the acronym. You don't tend to experience them physically from the driving seat so they don't take on a physical form. As such, it was interesting to see it doing its stuff in that video. Its real and it does something.
My own view can be summarised as, why would you want something like that on your sports car and how could you have any satisfaction as a driver with that going on at the back?
Anyone who has ever been behind a GTR and watched it automatically add yaw control 5 times as it goes round a corner will get the second part of that I am sure. The first part contains a long list of questions that I won't bore the forum with.
I wonder having watched that video if we are at another junction in time when those making technology fail get the human element to existence and experience.
I also wonder what anyone looking at a 991 GT3 and seeing that video will think. indifference, hesitancy, thumbs up?
