Hey Andre did you really turn off both SC+TC? - just curious?

track seemed really wet (especially around T13/start-finish) but it looked like it dried up quite a bit beyond aremberg/fuchsrohre? there was no signature "river" running diagonally across the exit of Bergwerk ... and Wipperman looked pretty dry too, although it seemed a little damp on the exit of brunnchen (signature push and slide on the exit) and into pflantzgarten also ...

very very nice car control throughout ... kudos and respect!



p.s
do you have special seats to comfortably accomodate your commensurately large cohones?

yeah larry i push all the buttons to off. Everything lightings up on the dash. Traction control does work pretty good on a GT3. But it s more challenging to put it to off. Sports button on. And dampers on normal setting.

I have regular ***** they fit nicely in the GT3 race seats. Even the 6 point harnesses fits

Try to upload something but it s a strange avi container my final cut express does not reconise it. More footage is comming. I have also a lap that i am following the m3 CSL it was real wet then.

The GT3 feels really at home at the nurburgring track it s awesome. Need to dail in little more camber on the front than it s perfect for track. Maybe i put front stabi back to factory setting for the ring. A little understeer is perfect for the ring. Normal tracks not i like good front end grip. On the ring you can make no mistakes understeer is little safer and you can push harder then.

Hello Andre,

As you have a lot of experience...... at this time I am thinking to buy a GT3 but I doubt between my heart (GT3RS MKI) and a head (GT3 MKII).

Just tell you that my experience is limited to a Lotus Exige Cup 260 on which I learn already some limited driving skills.

It would be interesting to know more about your opinion, not only to me I think........

i had the same dilemma and went for a GT3 MK2. Why?

First the 3.8 engine. More midrange torque.
And
Some say the MK2 has lot less understeer that s important for me.


Like the smell of a new car Depriciation sucks though

MK1 RS is also a beauty but i went for new. There is not much in it i think.
