Clearly white

I've seen a Guards Red in person and it may be the first Porsche I've seen that I'm not a huge fan of in Guards. It's still nice, but it just doesn't work as well on the car as I expected IMO.

White! Less pigment in the paint, therefore the car weighs less, as result it is faster! lol!

Also with more photons being reflected by white you would get more down force (like a solar sail) from white. Thus, faster!

Looks like the White guy also has the apex, will get to the corner faster and carry more exit speed. The red car will go in too deep and scrub speed to get to the apex. Slower exit speed.

It looks like they are very ready to find out who's faster. Without a GTSilver car to compete with, white and red should both equally impress

Red is faster... It is scientifically proven... There is a ton of technical analysis on the subject... Look it up if you don't believe me!

Red because it has temp tags, less weight.

Looks like a blue air cooled cab is fastest. Beautiful cars, all three!!
