Driving eMotion

Was watching the new review posted on Drivetribe,the host managed to set a lap time of 1:34.96

With reference to http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/anglesey-international-gp

.1 GT3 driven by Chris Harris set a time of 1:38.10
The .2 GT3's lap time isn't far behind a P1,and faster than 675LT spider & 488GTB

He said .2 GT3 is incremental change on the outside, big leap forward for the engine(RSR derivative)!

Fantastic review by Jethro - the enthusiasm is infectious and lifts the brilliance of the new GT3

Take this with less than a grain of salt:

1. Different drivers
2. Different conditions

At Yas (where I track) there is about 1 sec discrepancy in my timing due to conditions alone. And this is Yas Marina where weather conditions are not volatile like north of Wales where Anglesea is.

So this is not something to headline really.

Whatever the time, conditions or driver were, that review is just great to watch. His zeal is a sight to behold.

I'd always thought there'd be no real reason to jump from my .1 for a .2, but now I'm starting to wonder...

I've driven Anglesey, it is very variable. Its right next to the sea and times vary dramatically.

Great track though, I didn't used to like 911's much but was seriously impressed with a 964 RS on a trackday years ago.

Conversely my first drive in a 911 was a 964RS on bumpy roads that I hated.

New tires are 1 second by themselves. New pirelli corsa is faster than outgoing trofeo by 1+

Good point. I've heard the CGT has a much faster Ring time now if you put modern rubber on it.

Harris time was in the rain. Not a fair comparison

randr

The time is irrelevant the clear joy of the reviewer isn't

Jethro I do enjoy watching, he really shows his excitement when warranted.

SamFromTX

It seems, just like the .1GT3, fastest laps are in auto, which I think, is unlike the .1 RS

Jethro pretty much shat on the 991.1 GT cars, even touched on the mezger comparison and left the door open on the subject.

Cannot wait to see how this new engine develops moving forward, there is still hope for NA GT3's...

C.J. Ichiban

Yes correct. I would wager that the CGT is 4-6 seconds faster from non-swiss cheese tires

Like RE-71Rs? I hear those are good non-swiss cheese tires.
