This seems like the most marketing post of all. I see nothing along the lines of Shark Blue. I see the lighter blues as Miami, Rivera, Mexico and even some Mint Green. And the dark blues are more Maritime Blue. Not sure of the mental gymnastics his social media marketing team when through to connect that pic to Shark Blue

If you do a Google images search for "Madame Gu", you'll see that cameras seem to be all over the board in being able to represent the color. You can find a photo to match any blue you want... including some that are well aligned with Shark Blue.

There's no good reason to assume that it's just marketing BS. I see no marketing advantage to make up such a story. That's just more ammo supporting his comment of "Too much know it all comments, wrong info, strong opinions and conspiracy theories."

This thread turned into comedy gold didn't it? Entertaining, but it's time to reveal that racing yellow car already...

So, the Ring car was ~5 seconds slower than the GT3.

Is it possible/probable that the 4RS with open fender vents, CF hood (WP) and mag wheels is somewhat faster than the GT3 and with a true mid-engine feel?

How awesome would that be!!

I think the lap was set with the Weissach car (and was nearly 10 seconds slower than GT3 when using the 20.8 km lap). But that doesn’t take into account that they may have been sandbagging on that lap (if you believe some analysts).

I heard there is a wheel option with a watch face on it.. so people can tell time just by looking at the car (but only when car is in motion).
