Carbon does not bend so one thing you will not get is dents.

The bonnet(hood) in particular will be extremely prone to chips and scratches if you track extensively,I would consider applying a twin layer of Xpel film on this area in particular just to be on the safe side..

I was there yesterday when they did their mandatory Group-Photo with the times on a Pitboard.

They did it in 6:56,4.

I must have just missed it but either way not complaining hehe, but it wasn't for lack of awareness/effort after I saw BTG's twitter post yesterday/2 days ago. Sat and waited at Brunnchen for hours to try and see them. then left for lunch at Subway, and even came back after lunch for another hour.. Maybe missed them if they went in the morning. Saw AV Jota/718 Spyder/2RS/ZR1/loads of Merc, Audi, Land Rover SUVs but not the 3RS!

I guess if they repaved the track then as you guys alluded to that could have really helped the new .2 3RS...the track really felt smooth like butter for most of it (I was surprised for such a historical/legendary track)...just not the carousel... lol

thank you for the info!
super fast!!

enjoy:

maybe the black one is one with particle filter...
the green ones (especially the WP one) are driven binary.
the black one seems that he is trying a lot. and sounds a bit different.

The White car at the end could be Mark Webbers car ,,,,,,,the green WP is certainly getting driven a lot harder than the other two ..........sounds fantastic

I noticed that the black one sounds quite different too. Particulate filter maybe?

probably they're also doing some comparative test with the different tyres available...R, N2, N1 (last one to have a measure of tyre factor in the performance improvement vs. mk1)
just suppose...if i were porsche i would do that
