That's crazy! You must have had one heck of a tailwind, and a steep downhill route :-)

Got mine up to 302 kmh and it was still pulling hard when I caught up to traffic. I was very impressed...

Man, that was awesome.

I raced my F80 M3 at Spa last year when I did Euro delivery. What an experience! The RSR guys are really great, and I had an absolute blast. Amazing track.

It is scary just watching that - Holly smokes and she still looked very stable

Nice stretch of road. Looked very smooth. The evolution of the gt cars high speed performance is so impressive. 996gt3 @ 300/h was always a fight. The 997rs4.0 you can easily steer with one hand @300km/h. Not that anyone would.
I've only taken the 991gt3 to 250km/h but they are just so planted. Looks like no drama what so ever when you drove. What would you think a true read would be? 310-320km/h?

If the 991 GT3 is anything like previous gen cars, the speed indicated on the dash can be higher than the actual speed by up to 5%. Still a very fast car

Looks like GPS speed is on the phone plugged in at the bottom of the screen. 262 indicated is 251 GPS on the phone. 4.3% high...
