At the 27-28 sec point they had me a but curious with the footwork until I replayed and saw he was left foot braking. It happens so quickly I thought for a moment it was a clutch pedal. I know, all along they said PDK, it was just interesting the way they purposely showed that footwork.

I had to rewind a few times as I saw that too, was excited for a possible surprise but it turned out to be skilled driving!

Looks like:

- new carbon fiber dash trim weave option that better matches the carbon fiber LWB seats
- lizard green stitching
- green steering wheel center marker option
- green accents on the PDK lever gate

So it's a 2019 per the press release... didn't everyone think the GT3 RS's were going to be 2018's like the GT3?
