Default Absolutely incredible nurburgring lap with Kevin Estre in the 991.2 GT3 rs MR!!!


Same as last year i had the marvelous opportunity to jump for an ULTRA hot lap with Kevin Estre in the 991.2 GT3 rs setted with the brand new full manthey racing kit!! (Detail of the car below)
The weather was typical raining with high humidity and cold temperature of 12°c
Amazing experience, thanks my friend for this lap and for what you do with the association DU SPORT ET PLUS 👌🏻👌🏻
YOUR HEARTH IS HUUUGE 😃

One of the most impressive parts was the « petit karussel » where the car literally had a 4wheels fly....offcourse fully wet

Race car drivers make the rest of us look tame. Full commitment trusting the aero and tires.

Crazy fast!

Wicker, wing endplate, and very minor tweaks to the front airdam, from a mate who was there and spoke with the Manthey guys. Removal of front brake cooling underbody scoops I heard, but really TBC.

Their real magic is in their tuning of the KW coilovers.

Amazing just to see those hands work the wheel. Such instinct/feel for the car, incredible.

There is many more works
for exemple all the engine trunks was reenforced to support the additionnal aero pressure
the wing support is different, higher position and 4 aero position on it
gt3 r diffusor also stick the car on fast turn
they di not fit the front canard for this day, o do’t lnow why 🤔

Just curious, does he left foot brake? Seems like he does in other videos I have seen but kind of hard to tell.

Yes, didn't 2RS MR package include whole new trunk lid and larger wing?
