Supercup Race at Monaco...

It was the second Supercup race to include Sebastian Loeb who finished 16th...further, another WRC driver Sebastien Oger (VW Racing) joined the fray...coming home in 13th

Here is an interesting fact. Despite of all the hype for the 991 chassis being so much better than the 997.

The 2011 and 2012 Porsche SuperCup lap times with the 997 GT3 Cup were faster than the lap times with the new 991 GT3 Cup.

Time for the 991 GT3 Cup to get RWS, PDK and a 9A1 engine.

The older cars do have the advantage of many years of development.

Geesh rad drama queen much?

You've been on track enough to know that pace is a function of chassis development by race teams.

Good grief.

yes..and youre forgetting the 991 RSR ...that has a difficult stance to really shake off a 997 GT3 RSR..

But its what I always said..journalists, Porsche Marketing bla bla etc..the real potential of the car is shown in race configuration...and here differences are very small. The 991 chassis is in the long run better..thats logic. But hype..cant hear this bs anymore.

RWS - forbidden for RSR
9A1 - wouldnt finish the race
Pdk - would crumble to pieces..thats why they have sequential..which is much better..for a street car a Pdk is a good compromise..thats clear..but its not a sequential either..

9a1 finished many and won races in the Rolex Grand AM G'S series last year with BGB and Rum Bum....zero failures!

BGB and others are successful in racing the current road going PDK.

how's this got anything to go with the "991 GT3" ?? They share nothing except for the shape and perhaps the tub. Should move this to the cup folder.
