Default Roadtrip GT3 991.2: 7000 km in European Alps
After we got our new GT3 991.2 we immediately left for a road trip through the European Alps (Austria, Italy, Zwitserland, France). Three weeks, 8 hours a day, 7000 km in the Bucket Seats! We are in our sixties but not a problem at all. We owned a boxster gts and 911 gts before, but the GT3 is far better for us. Perfect car for this kind of road trips!! See for video's from this epic trip www.youtube.com/TinekeMike. Excuse for my not to good English, I am Dutch.

That looks absolutely amazing! I want to travel there for sure. I won't be able to do it in a GT3 until the kids are grown, but I guess the alps will still be there when I'm 60.

Congrats on an epic trip! We were in Alps last month on Ducatis - incredible road and scenery. That’s a tough bicycle ride. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! I have an ED of a GT3 RS in September, planning a lot of the same routes. I was at Stelvio just a few days ago, but was driving a Mercedes E200...not quite the same!

Wow! Beautiful!
Much effort into all aspects of your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Which exhaust are you using?

Welkom en bedankt. Mooi gefilmt

My wife and I pretty much went to all the same roads during ED of both our cars and a couple of side trips in rentals.
Enjoyed looking back :-)

We have the standard exhaust, a little bit disappointed (level) if you compare it with the GTS NA.
