I think that the Sport Auto - list is a list of track times being recorded under similar conditions.

This is from Wikipedia about the driver, Horst von Sauma:

"A well-known feature of Sport Auto is the "Supertest", wherein Saurma tests sports cars at their limit on the track (using fully road-legal trim) and their resulting lap times at the Nürburgring and the Hockenheimring are compared. In 2004, Saurma set the Nürburgring lap record for a production car by taking the Porsche Carrera GT around in 7 minutes 32 seconds.[3] Saurma's laps for Sport Auto are often taken as benchmark times for their respective vehicles.[4] Saurma continues the "Supertests" as a freelance author, after having resigned as chief editor."

Exactly my opinion too .

(Nearly) all lap times from Auto-Motor-Sport (SportAuto) are driven by Horst von Sauma (who you can find in the list of fastestlaps.com) and they therefore have the benefit of being comparable to each other.

D -2 for the press conference and official launch ...

... and probably D -1 for AP's interview in EVO ?!?

Guys, my sleep last night was already slightly disturbed ...

Can you imagine that after such a long waiting time that we are now so close to facts, figures, official pics and the configurator?!?!?

Life is racing, GoHardGT3RS

the best thing about that rendering is the omission of the "PORSCHE" on the rear

Probably won't be any surprises at this point. Nothing to see here.

Brand identity, I like the raised script its retro cool to me, but a sticker instead might be more in the spirit of the RS
