3,000 miles in a 911 GT3 RS… in one week!

Join the Driven Not Hidden Collective! / 9werks
A Porsche 911 GT3 RS is the ultimate performance weapon, built for delivering blistering times on track. But what's it like taking one on a mammoth road trip around Europe?
This is my film of an epic 3,000-mile road trip around Europe in just one week, taking in some of the best mountain passes in Switzerland en route to Brescia, to join GT Mania's '25 years of GT3' special weekend event.
Find out how car and driver get on over the seven days, covering everything from a track day, to mountain roads, to toll roads, to city highways. It's the ultimate test of a GT3 RS: does the 991.1 deliver as the ultimate modern Rennsport?
A HUGE thanks to Matt from the Driven Not Hidden Collective for the amazing kindness and spirit to lend me his stunning Riviera blue 991.1 GT3 RS.
Also, a big thanks to the legends at GT Mania for inviting me to their superb event - an absolute blast was had! For more information on future events, follow gtmaniaofficial on Instagram.

Epic video and unbelievable generosity Matt. A great sign of Lee & now full focus ahead. Really looking forward to following the exciting future of 9Werks.

[@9WERKSTV]

Thanks to those who joined us to watch this 'live' as part of our first KZbin premiere! I hope you enjoyed the film, thanks for your continued support of the channel.

[@TobyD]

What an amazing video Lee. As viewer from your early KZbin days, it’s by far the best you’ve ever done from already high standard. Great content, scenery, humour, emotion & cars. Honestly it has everything and I was glued from start to finish. Top top work my friend 👍👌

[@vivamia]

Great journey and thank you Matt for being so generous.

[@GC-kp7lo]

Sorry to hear about Total 911. I have been a subscriber for years and have always appreciated it and always looked forward to getting the next edition in the mail. Best of luck on your next steps. You have carved out a niche with your insight and personality that has many future applications. Whatever you do, don't forget the 996! Keep pushing!

[@germcevoy]

Incredible film. The road trip format is where you shine Lee. What a shame about the magazine but 12 years in print journalism for a man of your age is impressive in its own right. Bittersweet. Keep up the great work.

[@Paul_F_C]

Sorry to hear about you losing your job , hopefully your fabulous channel will grow and you can control your own destiny

[@911aircooled5]

Incredible Lee. RIP Total911 if this is what you are going to bring! Just superb! All the best for the future Lee. Massive thanks to Matt, buy this man a beer, actually a bottle of single malt would be appropriate. What a very kind person. Fantastic footage, track time, swiss mountains and even a drive past my swiss family's home. Well done.

[@julioirizarry4262]

Truly mesmerizing video! Long time subscriber from Texas , USA. Keep the dedication and hard work! Best Porsche content.

[@TimFoster]

What a fantastic watch for a Friday evening. This video had beautiful images, insightful commentary, and a cracking view into a personal journey. Thanks Lee, you're doing amazing work, and are inspiring me to get out there and drive my car all the more. Well done!

[@gregbrett8257]

Great road trip Lee, good mix of driving memories and emotions, especially closing that lap top. 😢 love the colour of the RS. Onwards and upwards fella

[@alexbrodie2930]

Lovely vid Lee and what a fine send off for the T911 chapter of your life too. Onwards and upwards old bean 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@TJSTR]

Really sorry about T911. I’ve been avidly going through back issues since I got my 996 and have really enjoyed it. I’ve no doubt greater things are ahead for you and your channel. Another great vid.

[@joshgraham934]

wishing you all the best Lee in your future professional endeavors. wonderful upload for many reasons.

[@colinwatson4172]

Good luck for the future. Sure you will land on your feet and look forward to your next journey in life.

[@jontydubya8602]

Fantastic video 👌Great send off to Total 911. Good luck with what comes next!!!

[@christopherjames6568]

Excellent film Lee- well delivered- hope you find success in your next venture post T911- never stop driving- #Porsche 911# 👍😊❤️. Best, Christopher

[@std882]

Wow! What a beautiful color.

[@alexeikyriakou2382]

Thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining watch. Wish you all the very best in your new endeavours.

[@9WERKSTV]

Thanks Alexei!

[@PitchAndShift]

Greetings my me and my wife - the couple in the silver 997.2 carrera 4 GTS manual who stopped to say hi on the Bernad pass 😅 8:52

[@createanddestroy]

Great video Lee, good luck on a new job and keep the cool/informative videos coming.

[@GrahamPatterson-w4j]

Great video Lee. Wishing you all the best for the future.

[@Stangoguy]

You always give great information and knowledge. Brilliant 😊

[@andrewwebber5910]

Absolutely excellent video Lee and what a car - well done, as it must have taken a lot of effort to film and edit all of the footage. Thanks to your channel I have become a bit of a Porsche Fanboy and currently driving a Macan and looking for a 911/ 997 :)

[@deanreillyMMA]

Great video Lee. 991 GT3RS is my dream car

[@jigglerish]

Good job on the low friction surface. I did something similar recently and it takes a good balance of throttle and steering input.

[@85AnthonyF]

Great video, cheers Lee.

[@Askgeez]

Ah mate !!! That was an emotional watch. I’ve been waiting for this, and it was even better than I hoped. Given your almost unparalleled experience of 911s I respect your opinion above just about anyone. So as a 991.1 RS owner I “needed” to hear your experiences on an extended test drive I feel almost vindicated for selling my beloved 997.2 gt3 😂 Wishing you all the best post Total 911 You’ll be fine 👊🏻 Cheers .

[@davonpointer2310]

Great film Lee 👍🏼

[@markanderson2451]

Watching :) 👍

[@9WERKSTV]

Thanks Mark! Looking forward to chatting on Monday, great effort on your behalf, that!

[@afoolandhismoneychannel]

As a car nut in his mid-50s, watching print media going away is heart-wenching for me. I grew up addicted to car magazines and have no interest in reading them online. I do enjoy KZbin for its automotive content as I've always enjoyed film media, but I will never accept a book or magazine that I have to read on a screen. I will very much miss Total911. 😥

[@codyprior2977]

Fantastic car, I know this car very well and good friend of mine put the miles on it.👊🏻

[@9WERKSTV]

Your friend is one cool dude in that case! Top man.

[@salsubaru]

Great Video...❤

[@dair919]

Redundant.... You mean you've been set free. Great news!

[@9WERKSTV]

Love this!

[@user-wh7hs2bc6m]

Hi, you stopped at the Belvedere " corner " hotel. But you didnt mention it s famousness. Maybe some people know it from the James Bond " Goldfinger " movie. Back in the days he followed the golden Goldfinger Rolls Royce downhill on the at this time gravel road. The first thought to the gas station you bought oil (and didnt swepped the mess?) it was where Bond meet the Mustang Lady. From the thumbnail/picture i thought you did a sort of a James Bond " movie " tour/trip but i was wrong.

[@stevemanklow7581]

Agreed, St Bernard pass big disappointment! Susten Pass prob one of the best in the area 👍

[@paulsheward]

🤓…..Goes off to check classifieds for 991 GT3RS prices! 😆

[@9WERKSTV]

Also keen!

[@pauls7032]

I think it’s only fair that you borrow a certain Voodoo Blue GT3RS for a 4,000 mile trip. Guy won’t mind.

[@9WERKSTV]

*whatsapps Guy now…

[@Askgeez]

Ok 😘

[@y3sbw]

Matt, if you are reading this, where did you have your rear camera installed? People who added my CarPlay couldn’t do it apparently without removing the cage and they didn’t want to.

[@AndyBrookes]

Who's watching?

[@jasonalton5688]

im a little late to the party but glass in hand and bum on the sofa for the next hr

[@9WERKSTV]

Thanks for joining, Jason & Andy!

[@ianmitchell9102]

Me, but 3hrs after the premiere

[@shaunwitzler5482]

Genuine question, is the .2 rs worth the price vs the .1? I think it is, but genuinely curious your opinion because i am in the market for one. Also in the market for a 992 gt3, but I am leaning towards the .2 rs. Do you have any input?

[@y3sbw]

If you have the budget, yes, go for a .2 RS. Ideally Weissach, but non is still mega.
