Default GT2 GT3 comparison

I found this, which is from December, so it is probably a repost:

http://www.topgear.com/content/featu...ries/06/1.html


Although the article compares the GT2 & GT3, it starts out in a Ferrari:


"So I'm doing a fast lap in a Ferrari 599," says Walter Rohrl. "We had one in for benchmarking purposes. I saw a car up ahead and thought I'd catch him. As I got closer, I could see it was another 599. He was oversteering, and then he ran wide into Galgenkopf, and I passed him.

"Anyway, as I was cooling down, this other 599 pulled level with me, the window went down, and the driver said, 'You bastard! You beat me round here in a Ferrari!' It was Michael Schumacher..."



That's pretty cool. And, it got me to thinking that the first GT3 RS some of us ever saw, besides the orange press photos, were the pictures of Walter in that green one at the ring. That should have been the first GT3 RS added to the registry.

Walter Rohrl finally has a page:

If they were in F1 cars, I'd also find it hard to believe. But in road cars, I'm not surprised.
