I think the black looks great. The WP is understated and more subtle compared to some of the other colour combos although Slip's PTS carbon grey could be the game breaker

the two r1m was my two brothers picked up the same day brand new bike, so they rode their machine with me :-)
i have now almost 2000kms of mountain driving with perfect rode process 4k rpm till 1000kms and after 500rpm more every 100kms with max 50% on the pedal.
i started now to use throttle 100% i will not learn to every body that it is a pure beast, but just some first interesting report that is IMPORTANT to every owner especially the point 2!!
1/ i noticed that in the luggage trunk (where there is the distilled water) there was some humidity in the carpet and i supsect a licking from the water tank (easely 1liter i think) strange
They will check it next week before my nurburgring holidays
2/ THE MOST IMPORTANT!!!!
Now porsche car has two tire pressure recomendation (indication in the door) one for normal use and one for fast use.
the garage just putted the tire pressure for road use who is 2.5 front and 3 on rear COLD.
ok that is a good pressure for use the car to go at the restaurant or on a cayenne/macan, but guys if you decides to go fast with that car just immediately use the track/fast tire pressure (2.0 front 2.3 rear cold or 0.1 0.2 more at least)
it is a race car and if you push hard with confort pressure, i can promess you that you will fly in the sky very bad if you go fast on a road who is not perfectly flat!!!!....maybe what happened to the sweden crashed car, it can be very dangerous if you don’t change it.
3/the black non metallic color is clearly bad quality, it remind me the black color that nissan used on the 2009 nissan gtr, easy to scratch not thick etc...
i will use full xpel protection no other way.
anyway it looks beautiful so no regret
4/ the temperature of oil and water looks for me a bit high on a cool driving (no traffic, not fast just cool sport driving)
oil: 116°C
engine water temp: 105°c
what is your opinion?
Also with this phenomenal amount of power and torque iam a bit curious if all the stuff (especially the rear directionnal wheel) will be strong in time, we will see :-)

I feel a bit ashamed of this behavior.

On track i targeted 2.0² with starting 1.8 . Any comment on that ? the tire pressure is quite a science.
Also the working window of these tires in quite strict temperature/pressure wise( Also depending of tracks.
I have finished the OEM dunlop and now will switch to Pirelli.
Regarding the tires pressure while cold i think no matter what pressure you put the car have so much power that the rear want to lead. People are happy to call her widowmaker i guess we have to deal with that no matter what is the pressure.
For the temperature i have the same stuff here. I have been super carefull with the cool downs on track and engine witch off before parking for the turbos.
I will be in France, Castellet track for the start of the season 1st and 2nd of june if french rennlister are around !

Quite a few GT2RS on track last week at the ring. Not an easy transition from 991.1RS to 991gt2RS. I was a passenger in one and the extra power can put you in trouble before you know it.
Use caution when adapting. Drove with a IMSA Porsche RSR driver last year during final testing of gt2rs. He mentioned something about “they should only be sold to people with racing license” Then a big smile. Probably some truth in that statement.
