They have racing on the channel? Why can't we just pay for one cable bill which has all the good stuff.. I've got Amazon prime, HBO on demand, Netflix, seems like many different subscriptions just to get decent tv

Nice! Pepi came over to our table and spoke to us for at least 15 minutes. Boy is my German rusty. Such a nice man.

Totally agree.

I usually just look for races (post event on U Toob), but this has it all organized, with nicely edited full length races. Plus they have everything...

Boy do they have races on the app!!!

Looking at the app right now on my phone:
Pirelli World Challenge, Michelin Gt3 LeMans Cup, GT Asia, British Gt Champoionship, GT4 European Series, ADAC GT Masters, Virgin Austrilia Supercars Champ., DTM, German Super touring, Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, Porsche Super Cup (Asia, Australia, German Cup also), Ferrari Challenge, Audi TT Cup on and on...

Well, I guess it's safe to say Harris is a fan.

Thanks for the video!

It doesn't get better than that and you've heard it from one of the most appreciated automotive journalists. All I've heard him say was " WOW WOW WOW " and " Superb Superb Superb ". I mean he couldn't find a bad thing to say about it except more than smart a** remark : " it doesn't have back seats ".

So yeah...it does seem Porsche can still build cars for enthusiasts that are not all about lap times. They only need to make them available for regular people.

lets just hope that the 991.2 gt3 manual retains some of that magic... us mortals will have a fantastic little car at that point.

Alex, if you get the .2 gt3, will you still keep your Spyder?

Default Boxster Spyder

Alex, the R is that good. And possibly the .2 GT3 will be too. But please never sell your Boxster Spyder. I'm sure you know it's really good as well.

The review just makes me more mad they didn't just make the (991.1) GT3 with a manual in the first place... was one of the first in line for one.

fantastic review...and pretty unbiased I'd say since the car doesn't need to be pushed!

"that's the essence of driving"... so true!
