Default 996 GT3 rally

Love the classic GT3 flat-6 Mezger song. Listen to how on/off the throttle sounds, almost seems like a toggle switch at times, although I'm sure it's more subtle than that from the driver's perspective:

GT3 rallie

ps: vids from this driver have been posted previously, but a search did not show this one, sorry if repost

LOVE IT!

Love the precision. Love to see that back end being flung/tossed around. I can only imagine the amount of concentration and focus needed to drive like this. Pretty sure he's got a working lsd

Ouch at 12:39

Thanks for posting.

Have tried to find more details about the car spec to no avail thus far. I am curious too, and will certainly post any further info found.

Car is driven by Olaf Dobberkau w/ Alexandra König handling nav duties. Olaf is one lucky dude too...his co-driver is his fiancé.

FWIW, I'm pretty certain the exhaust on that car is an older FVD race setup.

Additional info about this GT3 can be found here & here. From the photos & power figures, looks like brakes & engine are fairly stock, Sachs suspension, 18x8.5'' wheels front, 18x11 rear, Michelin tires, fairly standard high-end rally setup otherwise. Looks well prepped from the pics. My German ain't so good, however...can anyone translate further for us?

Wish the USA had a similar rally series.

The nice part is that for 200euros you can be a co-pilot in a rallye event with this prepared GT3RS.


Thanks Micah.

Fairly standard DIY "double the ramair effect type of mod" done here by some tuners. You have to cut the lid above and seal them when lid closes.
Manthey does is to the 4L kits.

BTW Porsche did it for 2010RS and Cup cars..

Here is the Manthey DIY.

Definitely seems to have 996 front and rear bumpers and rear lights... Front lights seem to have the "splattered egg" part painted to show the traditional P round light... Rear wing is 997.2 gt3 like but wider so likely aftermarket. I'd say 996...

Amazing driving to get it into and out of corners so quick
