I don't understand why Porsche can't get that damn app working correctly?? Really, what's the deal ??

SEB, what kind of phone are you using?

When I was racing my 993 GT2, Max Crawford designed an improved Wing for me which I found hugely affective.
Shortly after receiving my 2014 991 GT3, I again contacted Max requesting he design an improved Wing for my new GT3.
I worked together with Max and his Engineers for a week at his Race Car Factory in Durham, NC.
The new Crawford Wing is Longer (60"), Wider, (10.5") and is mounted 5" higher than the original location thus capturing
more of the available airflow. The Brakelights being relocated to the Vertical Pylons no longer disturb the laminar required for downforce.
A nice side effect is that it does not interfere with the view through the rear Window. Actually very similar Wing Dimensions and
mounting locations were used by the 991 RS Models which followed the GT3. Several dozen Wing Kits were sold to RL GT3 Owners.

@FastLaneTurbo I've seen you run at Sebring many times in your .1 GT3 with the Crawford Wing, that thing looks awesome!

My question is, with all the added down force from the Crawford Wing does it make the car a little unbalanced? If so, have you ever added dive plane's to help balance the car?

...love the WP wrap by the way

Yes, looks great and ties in well with the rear air intakes. Nicely done.

When I first introduced the Crawford Wing to Rennlist several years ago, their were endless predictions of creating massive understeer and unbalanced Track behavior which simply never materialized for me
nor most of the other owners who added that larger Crawford Wing. But I'm not driving the GT3 during any HPDE anywhere near its limits nor are MOST of the other drivers on the track. Generally Snap Oversteer is far more difficult to deal with, even for professional Drivers, (as the latest INDY 500 Miler Race proved) and I have always preferred to nail down the rear end of the car first and worry less about "Balance" than "Predictability" and "Controllability". Understeer is far more benign and controllable for most drivers. The Track behavior and predictability of the GT3 is exemplary, even in its stock form, and the larger Wing IMHO simply adds additional insurance towards that goal. If I were racing the car or driving close to its limits, I would be far more interested in achieving perfect "Balance". On its first Track outing at Sebring last week, I saw no problems with the Crawford Wing driving in the Red Run group and balancing out any tendency towards understeer with trail braking which further weights the front wheels.
Other than a Track Alignment, I have no plans to enhance its Track behavior further.

Mine is arriving next week but it will not have magnesium wheels mounted. It will come with the regular RS wheels and once magnesium wheels are in stock they will ship them to me. Sucks as I wanted the magnesium wheels on delivery but the plus side is I will have extra set of wheels

^ congrats

Thanks

Wheels and tires or just wheels? Wonder if they'll do that for the GT3RS.

Derek RS

When they send me the magnesium wheels later im pretty sure its just the wheels only without the tires

usctrojanGT3

Figures. Were you able to pick the color of the mag wheels?

Derek RS

When I first specced out the car yes

They stopped more than 3 weeks ago world wide but a lot of cars are still in production process...many are not sold yet.
