To date, I had done about every color on a Porsche EXCEPT yellow (no, not every shade of every color.......I’m not Rudy!). It was a LOTTA yellow on a car that big. However WP+yellow worked for me and now I’ve completed my Porsche skittles ownership experience. Yellow Jackets .
This was in between staring sessions at Brands with my WP RS
Great color and very rare. Brands Hatch photo only adds to the cachet.
If it is to park the car at the track and appreciate the WP, then i guess yes it is a personal choice
If you are referring to this in terms of performance improvements, then no, its not, but then by the same logic you will very quickly conclude that an RS is not a good track car to chase times in either and you will inevitably end up with a decision between getting a cup car or a 718 club sport to chase times in, as it will be cheaper and more suitable for its intended use - that is chasing track times all over the place.
One thing i have come to realize is that in reality the RS is a good DE car, but as you get more serious into performance driving and push the car and yourself towards your limits the risk reward trade-off works against you.
There was something that is always the answer... oh yes, Miata =)

Man WP hood looks great with RY. That might be the best combo for WP
You sell fast street car and get dedicated non-street-legal track car
Now you need a big tow vehicle and trailer
and a place to store track car, tow rig, and trailer in between weekends
Real racing is fun but this eventually becomes such a chore that you sell it all and get
a nice fast street car to do DE's in
Yup or you pay someone to handle the storage, transport, and maintenance of that non-street legal track car.
That being said, it is nice to drive your car to the track, have fun with it on the track, and drive it back home. I'll never buy a tow rig and trailer....don't have the time or energy for it, much rather do "arrive and drive" service.
WP works for me. Get a ton of complements at PCA events. WP looks good in white. Running 19 inch Forgelines and Hoosiers now with ST CCM rotors and Antigravity battery. It's not a race car, but I'm faster than some😬
What wheels and tire sizes are you running and more importantly, the nannies don't freak out?
I question the intelligence of anybody who claims the WP (exposed carbon hood, roof, and wing) makes the car lighter.
That said, I did see a bunch of WP 3RS at the track this past weekend and they look great.
What wheels and tire sizes are you running and more importantly, the nannies don't freak out?
19 inch Forgelines with Hoosier R7s 295/30/19 on front and 335/30/19. Once the 19s are installed you need to do about 10 miles of leisurely street driving with all the nannies off. The computer learns the new tire/wheel sizes and the nannies work fine. The caliper clearance is tight. Little rocks get caught between the barrel and the caliper resulting in scoring on the inside of the barrel and the caliper, but it's just cosmetic.
