That really surprises me. I thought the Porsche with it's 4wd would have beaten them all... Thanks for sharing, short but really good

Exactly, I had to watch it again. The McLaren left first, then the F-car, and finally the Porsche driver finished up his phone call and stepped on the gas.

Fun to watch, tho i think the GT2 RS would have been more appropriate.

the MC looks ok in that orange color.

With PDK, the Porsche should beat the other two. With a manual, close, but unlikely.

we can debate all day about who delayed but i would like to know whats trans is in the porsche and who the test was done by, looks like a biased test, f1 in the ferrari, double clutch in the MP4, and manual in the porsche.
