Interesting find - do you think they're running a 9A1 in the RSR now? It seems to tie in with the factory team return for R&D and only selling it to one other team.

I think nizer says car literally is testing 991 cupcar wo mezger. Has nothing to do with testing 991 gt3 9a1 motor. Well make sure guys don't get nailed that way!!! Mike

Also the intake manifold on the street 991gt3 is all plastic and on this vid it's metal- all previous gen gt3's have metal intake manifolds too. Mike

Yep, definitely Australia. The track is Sandown in Victoria. Most of the Carrera Cup rounds are run as support races to the V8 Supercar series.

Ironically, that's the car that triggered the incident in the video in the first post! And it's his teammate, as well!
