Rs : 2'45"78
0-100 km/h
Gt3 : 3.37 s
Rs: 3.61 s
0-1000 mt
Gt3 : 20.64 s
Rs:20.97 s
wow...75kg over a 997 4.0 with same configuration
about laptime...really not to care much about, track conditions...probably dirt since races not taking place there...and too hot affecting tyres grip (with air at 29°...track surface can be around 50° centigrade in a summer sunny day), play a big role in this kind of comparisons
btw i remember that test with 991 gt3, it registered astonishing performances acceleration....even better of 991 turbo s tested the same day...
