So what's in it for the owner of the GT3? Cut of youtube revenue for the video?

Everyone is! That's what makes life so fun. One distinguishing factor here, however, is that car is not an enzo, and nor is it a "clean" example. If it were pristine I might think twice, but I don't mind letting people drive my car...its kind of exciting lol!

I find his reviews very good and he is a big Porsche fan and has driven many versions. let me know if you are interested.

Here is his channel https://www.youtube.com/c/Zygrene
I guess you have snow in Alberta but otherwise no reason he can't drive your car. Americans are travelling to Canada no problem. California to Alberta is not that far. No way would I let one of those youtubers hoon any of my cars

An instructor drove my 6GT3 at an HDPE once, he had never driven one, much less on track. Kind of fun, I could tell for the first few laps he was going through an adjustment phase, and then he was struggling to find words..

to OP, nothing wrong with sharing the fun with a buddy or family etc, , I'm the first guy to let kids/car people sit in mine, take them for a rip, and enjoy a chat, but IMO if you're attached to your car, then loaning it out for just someone making a monetized video driving around ain't it... lent my last 6tt out to any friend who wanted to drive it, my GT2 not so...6tt was just a car to me, my '2 is special to me, not as simple as just going out and buying another if something happened to it...'2 stayed, 6tt went... others will have different views and thats great too

I guess I should clarify. No way, no how am I anywhere other than the passenger seat when someone else is driving my car (unless its a mechanic I guess). Lots of folks have driven my car, but never without me in it too! That would indeed be foolish!

I have mixed emotions on this topic. I’m reluctant to let anyone who isn’t very familiar with these cars have a go, even if I’m in the passenger seat. If it’s another owner and we are wanting to compare each other’s cars then that’s a different story. I did that very thing recently with a friend who has a 7.2 GT3. Great experience and I enjoyed seeing my 6 in the rear view mirror from an angle I don’t usually get to enjoy. With regards to YouTubers driving my car - hmm probably not for me either, but I must admit that I enjoy watching most reviews on these cars, so I’m grateful that other owners are willing to let YouTubers review their cars.

As for Zygrene, I subscribe to his channel and generally like what he has to say. I think he will love the 996 GT3 when he finally gets to drive one and will probably be pleasantly surprised at how good it is (like many other relatively new to GT Porsche people who tend to gravitate to 997 and up).
