"You need to have your game face on if you want to go fast in it. You absolutely have to be confident, you can't show it any weakness.
Back out of the throttle mid-corner and the GT3 RS will move around, will punish your indecision with a slow exit and your heart in your mouth. Instead you need to trust it, trust the amazing front end grip, keep turning, stay on the throttle - then you have perfect balance and the RS fires out the far side, squatting heavily on that back axle, afterburners in full effect. I'm not sure much could stay with it.
Grip is colossal, and you can, once you get brave, play with the balance - small, carefully measured adjustments only though, please. It takes time to fully appreciate, but like all good cars, it's one that communicates brilliantly, and leaves you wanting more, makes you want to learn and improve. Doesn't suffer fools, though."

I'm seriously beginning to ponder if this car will give older Cups a run for their money...
At 20" & 21" the only practical impediment is the availability of slicks. The day folks figure out a way to fit 19" rims on these cars may well be the day when jaws drop...

Significantly, though, it (the GT3 RS) is less exciting than a Ferrari 458 Speciale and not as challenging as the car it succeeds.
