I share the exact same concern. It seems that at this point the only solution is less weight. But it's not going to happen within 991 generation. Probably not even within 992. Maybe one day we can get GT4 RS/CS with a CF tub and under 2800 weight - that might do it.

wouldnt it be swell if porsche let the GT2RS roll out the factory with plates in all the tubs....
If they did, I would fly to germany to get the clubsport package and send it home.
Porsche really needs to bring back the floor plates on all their GT cars worldwide.... damn lawyers get in the way i suppose...
(first person to find a factory cage in USA and get killed in the car will have their estate sue no matter how drunk or stupid they were. And porsche is sick of BS american law suits... Paul Walker, Diesel gate etc)

Which is why we can't wait for you to get one, so we can all live vicariously through you!
Reposting in hopes of getting this thread off the Shmee and back on track.

I agree! It still looked great, but it seemed like the rear-wheel steering wasn't as aggressive as in earlier vids. Since it's testing, maybe they're just testing with rws either disabled or with different steering ratios. Maybe they're testing different front aero packages and rear-wing angles. Or as often the case, the car may actually be in the midst of testing different tires and being tested by tire companies and not actually Porsche themselves. I know that sounds weird, but trust me, that's what they do when they're developing tires for cars such as this which will initially be a proprietary tire made specifically for this model at first.

Tires: Remember that the cars drive on Nürburgring för test purposes: Various tires, various setups etc. I don't think we can draw any deeper conclusions from these videos.
I will meet my friend who was offered a ride in the GT2RS on Monday. I hope he pulled it off.

Looking forward to the review. Bring some extra underwear. 700hp in a 991rs will be epic and I'm also interested in what tires they will offer.

I'm curious to see if it will be a middle engined like the new RSR.

Those intakes make no sense in my mind, I do remember seeing prototype gt2 without them, my only guess would be a brake duct or some radiator, probably a brake duct.

Will the side intakes (near the rear wheel) be covered like in the prototype or open like in a TT / .1 RS? Generally, willthe lines still be more refined in the release car?
