For .1 GT3, many cars came back from track days with this exclusive option added to their car. Which is great because of the no cost retrofit option.


I also heard in Russia and Asia, many people's car had this Exclusive option added when they park their cars on the street for a couple hours.

I would have liked to see some fast up shifting and some good downshifts action instead of that walkie!

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me, he isn't going particularly fast and should be able to handle that pace easily with one hand.

One of instructor training exercises I've participated in is steering the car with one hand from the right seat for a whole lap. With a little practice, it's easier than most people anticipate.

WTF, and NOBODY even mentions the blue calipers ?!
What does this mean ? Who did that ? I can not order blue calipers from Porsche. And that's why I didn't get a blue GT3 ! And now I see a blue preproduction 991.2 from the factory with blue calipers ?
