Seb,

Thanks for taking your time to write this review!

I suppose it all boils down to this:
"The first day i arrived on the track and made 5 launched lap, i just wanted one thing....sell the car as soon as i can and buy a gt3 rs instead....after 4days of hard driving on the ring but with progressive speed and a half day of full pro coaching iam now so in love with my gt2 rs!!!"

When I met you I felt that you where a bit hesitant about the car. I'm really glad that you now are on good terms with it

I'm sure that your review and your suggestion of "apporach the performance of the GT2RS from below" will help a lot of people.



"Some people can have a bit more pressure because it is the fastest actual production car on almost every track and the other drivers with better skills want to kill the beast, be faster with a slower car bla bla bla
i would say don’t be under pressure, take your time to understand properly how the car works even if some 997 gt3 or cayman gt3 overtake you and soon you will destroy all on the track 😜"

^So until I get the GT2RS I settle with the wonderful hobby of pursuing GT2RS:s

sincerely hope AP lives up to his word and makes enough so that real drivers can get one.
Most won't be tracked, but what you're proposing is really excessive. No need to whine about allocation process here.

Seb,
Thanks for the great review. Really enjoyed all the videos, excellent driving. It is great to have an example of someone driving this car as we envision they should be driven. Well done!
