Looks like to me the M3 was catching it every braking point. It didn't get the sense the GT3 was even faster.
Wonder what would be the results if that were the Carrera GTS instead of the GT3.

If the lead car was an RS, the gap would have been far more noticeable.

Did not seem like a proper comparo to me. Love the way GT3 looks in that color.
