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.
mk2 has a lot less initial understeer than the .1 ... and as you say a bit better midrange ....

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.
I'm impressed! I dont think I would have the courage to turn off SC+TC in the wet, although it did look like the last 1/2 of the track was not as wet as the 1st...

its claimed (be interested to see what your thoughts are) that the SC+TC on the .2 is much less intrusive than on the .1s ...

would love to see video of the CSL (on MPSC) in the wet with you following!!!

glad to hear that your seating comfort is not impaired due to commensurate cohones!

all the best

Larry

Nice driving Andre. The only wet laps I did on the 'ring were on Toyo 888s and during a downpour that meant 20mph aquaplaning for much of the lap!

Toyo R888 on a GT3 on the Nring is a deathwish

Really nice driving!!! And awesome car control! I love the way you handle that beast on the track

Seems like a lot of fun but I wouldn't have the ***** to do it in the Ring, no run off areas

Thanks for sharing! Beautiful!

The BMW driver must be really good too.. Another pro?
What brakes he has? Usually they are gone after a lap or two in the ring.


Keep posting them here, you have a fan base!

Damn, beautiful driving Andre! One of the best 'Ring vids I've seen all year.

Thanks André. This one deff needs to be watched in full screen.

Just like any National Geographic documentary or extreme whatever, when you follow the protagonist, you must never forget that there is also a cameraman close by, doing all the same things... while carrying a camera

Wow! Half the time i was watching your car, the other half i was looking at the guard rail!! Why is there so much guard rail? Is it safer?

I really like it when you overtake the green RS!!

Me too, that part is awesome. The final acceleration onto the straightaway is the best though.
