There’s a lot of jockeying for the title of expert, to be sure.

So, the car that won the N24 this weekend was the 991.1 version, correct?

That is correct, albeit with a monster factory lineup!
This new 991.2 GT3R will be easier to drive for the AM's and have a wider power band....

The car just won the 24 hours of Nurburgring. Any idea what shade of green is Manthey Racing's 912?

Does anyone know why they used canards on this car? Why not develop more efficient aero within the bodywork? Even the rear wing is not optimized like the RSR. Does this have anything to do with regulations? It seems to me that Macca, Ferrari, and even Lambo are doing more with aero in general. Curious if anyone has an inside lead on this.

This is being addressed with the new 991.2 version.
Plus, most all GT3 cars have some sort of canards, they try to maximize downforce with a HP/Weight ration and aero formula with SRO/FIA.

GT3 rulebook essentially prevents underbody aero

GT3 R rear wing is massive compared to 911 RSR rear wing; the RSR makes a lot of its rear downforce through the diffuser
