Question How long can you stand to drive in your gt3rs?

A stellar 991.1 GT3RS came into my life the other day. I've found some good roads and car events, and I would be happy to hear your experiences with driving this car for extended periods of time

No problem. Did 500 miles straight. Loved every second! Some have lower back issues however if you dont slouch it is ok. Some have also used lower lumbar support pads...

Specific to each person based on how you phrased your question you might not be happy with it.

I lived in mine 8-10 hours per day over a week and a half in Europe. Loved every second of it, didn't want to get out.

I'll let you know in a few weeks. I'm entered in the 1 Lap of America, 7 courses in 7days, 3500 miles.
There is also another GT3 RS entered and a GT2 RS. Andy Hollis has a new McLaren 720 entered also. Should be interesting.

Not sure about the distance, but about 4.5 hours to Spring Mountain in the '18 GT3 no problem at all.

Drove it 300 miles on back roads one day and didn't even feel tired at the end. I think the RS is even more comfortable to drive than the regular GT3.

Have done many 12-hour days in the car. Happy to do many more if life, toilet, food, and the need for sleep didn't get in the way.

Regularly drove my LWB GT3RS from Nashville to Atlanta followed up by laps on the track. I find the LWB to be incredibly comfortable seats. I do the same in my .2GT3 which feels identical on the highway but has better electronics to make the drive easier (Waze via CarPlay).

Note: Not the car’s fault, but PSC2 suck on highway if there is ponding water.

Sounds like you need LWB seats.
