His video review was much more positive. It's not a GT3 and it won't ever be. It's also 40k+ less.

Is this actually coming? If so, how would you buy one - from Porsche dealer or otherwise?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but brand new cups are only available for purchase if you are racing it in a series. If you want for DE use, you have to wait for it on the used market

Ok, I'll keep my money for a while if Porsche does not want it. Anyway, I'll try to put a deposit on GT4RS or GT4 .2 just in case. I may end up living in 2 places in couple of years, so the second track car seems like a good idea.

I think he had genuine enthusiasm for the car. CH is not likely to sugar-coat too much (evidence his ban from Ferrari for being an honest critic).

He's more factual and enthusiastic than most..

But I think they oversold him on the data crap that he did not verify himself...

Yes I agree but he is unlikely to be overly critical during a Porsche organized event for press...but I think he had a pretty honest review.

Knowing his history, I trust his integrity. He may bend a bit (e.g. not confronting AP on the GT4 gearing issue in the garage) to preserve access but he is very bright and knows that he is distinctive among the reviewers in that he pretty much calls them as he sees them.

+1 It s a Porsche organised review
not a Rennlist forum organised DE where you can be straight
You can imagine yourself living of car reviews being
banned either from Porsche plus Ferrari

no more early sportcar reviews
career stopped
