Any way to find out if they posted on board video from this car? Looks like a cool idea!

Car is beautiful.

That's pretty crazy how you have RSR's passing a regular street GT3 on the track.

He was indeed scheduled to run the 2010 VLN race with Chris Harris (EVO magazine), Roland Asch and Horst von Saurma. But a back injury forced him to cancel and he was replaced by Simon Patrick. All four of these guys ran the '10 race in a factory production .2 997 GT3 RS. They placed in 13th place overall, which was an excellent result!

Last year Manthey Racing won first overall in a Porsche 997 GT3-RSR with drivers Marc Lieb, Timo Bernhard, Romain Dumas & Lucas Luhr. By chance, I saw Lucas here at Laguna Seca last week as he won the ALMS race driving a Honda powered LeMans Prototype!

Thanks for the correction

It's truly impressive that this bunch of characters finished 37th in a field of 160+ cars after 133 laps... I doubt the car is still "merchandisable" after this feat though!!
