First Time On TRACK In My 911 GT3! [Red Bull Ring]

I attend the @Pirelli P-Zero Experience at the #RedBullRing in Austria with my #992 generation #Porsche #911GT3. This is my first track day with the car since I bought it at the start of the year.

Doesnt matter how slow you're going. You're driving around the redbull ring in your own GT3, you're still winning.

[@silvio6657]

The comment of the year!!!!! I think the same man💪

[@21sled]

Yes it does. Driving slow is for losers

[@silvio6657]

​@@21sled nope it doesn't matter the speed, the most important thing is the emotion of the 6 speed manual driving

[@silvio6657]

And is so beautiful going to the track with an own supercar... Amazing experience

[@grahamreddel5682]

If you don’t mind wrecking your car occasionally, my suggestion for better lap times is late on the brakes snd early on the power. And if you don’t feel the grim reaper is in the passenger seat smiling then there is still more speed there to be had.

[@leotac5737]

Tony has impressive skills on track!

[@rahulsudhir666]

Absolutely! When they did that tour a few years ago where Tony brought his 458 Speciale Aperta or the 488 Pista, he was absolutely gunning it through the twisties in the Alps. Great car control. You could clearly see he was dancing right at the limit of grip.

[@dehydratedvital]

If you go back, you can see archie teaching him years back.

[@lollypop9580]

​@@dehydratedvitalArchie the hidden gem of youtube. ❤

[@tibiceltare]

He was doing a lot of track days with archie in the past, archie was teaching him and probably other track monsters aswell, he knows what he is doing

[@tr1cksone]

A fast c*nt!!

[@serpenthx]

I was the one in grey Giulia QV - It was nice meeting you in person Sam (and Tony) - really down to earth and easy to talk to gentlemens. Keep up the work you do!

[@DrivingViews]

Sam and Tony are just golden videos

[@DaleSteel]

Mug

[@JamesScott-ug2no]

Genuinely Impressive! Tony saying that PDK means there's "one less thing to think about" seems like an understatement to me. Balancing brakes, clutch and steering with one hand is far more than a single element; so the fact you were so close to his pace is commendable indeed!

[@3xc1t3r]

Well, it does autoblipp so the only thing really is to clutch while downshifting. I've run them both and the gearing is a bigger difference than the actual work in the car.

[@mfpmf]

15:48, and a sneaky Husqvarna robotic lawnmower appears :D

[@jamespugh]

Lol seen that 🤣

[@Sean_Farmer]

Your first laps were pretty good but after going with Tony you were really starting to explore the limits a lot more (track limits too I might add 😁). Now you see the difference between the stock Pirrelis and a Trofeo or Cup 2 on track. Looks to me like you had a great time and that's always the most important thing.

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Seeing you and Tony “compete”on track was such great footage. It felt like I was watching an actual cup car race!

[@tibiceltare]

Love how tony is pressing him in the corners but isn’t overly aggressive and only goes for the pass on the straights, this shows he knows track etiquette and isn’t like those track monsters who run you off the track for being slower/ less experienced

[@volkswizard]

Awesome to see these cars being used properly 👏🏻

[@Hlubiiradebe]

Can't wait to see a track review of your GT4 🔥🤌🏼

[@Lukec4ge]

Brilliant video Sam. Very intriguing seeing the difference between your manual GT3, and Tony’s PDK GT3. He can also pedal around a track pretty well too 👍🏾

[@gnt248]

Congrats on having a GT3 and actually tracking it, I've come across so many GT3 owners who don't! I enjoyed watching you stir through the gears mate, you specced it for YOUR driving pleasure which in most drivers opinions involves the gearstick and clutch marriage, but take nothing away from the PDK, its an awesome box and deserves its status. In time the speed will come through, one thing I noticed which isn't a criticism but an observation, maybe you could be smoother on turning, smooth and steady will make you faster in the long run, plus you wont upset the balance of the 911, this is from advice from actual racing drivers who came in the car with me in the past, so its personal experience not just me waffling. Looking forward to more track content. Great channel

[@GTIracerr]

Love the roadtrip content! The German podcasts have been good fun as well. Keep up the good work and movie like content. Cheers from Amsterdam.

[@johngriffiths3394]

Great video Sam - personally loved seeing the 510hp Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio - a 5 seater 'daily' perfectly at home on a track!!

[@serpenthx]

Not really 😅 That's me in the Giulia. As a daily its super nice, but on track, especially on stop&go tracks like Red Bull Ring, its a destroyer of brakes; I went through a whole set of front pads, and will also have to replace disc rings, due to cracks that developed. Its simply too heavy for such tasks. Without front camber kit it also eats outer tyre edges for breakfast. With the driver its almost 1800 kg... Anyway, here is my sort if decent but still too slow lap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpqufml6aNaUd68

[@nonamenameless5495]

Lol: "...that s why you re a couple of tenths faster" Tony: "...yeah at every corner!" Just great and I ve rarely seen Tony in such an excited and yet great mood on this channel. Feels like he s more himself and less his podcast persona. This experience wouldn t have been the same, had one of you gone alone (even though I already hear Tony say: yeah, then I d have found someone else....). Edit: watched it till the end now, one if not the best vid on this channel of the past 2 years and now I ve seen what you ve been describing in the BTG podcast (the pursuit). From your first laps to the longer driving sequence, the progress is totally evident...Tony is still quite a few substantial steps ahead but that was to be expected! Anyway, thanks for this one and well done.

[@LeddersD]

LOVE IT! Great footage and cinematic footage with all the action. Good to see following the Podcast from Gatwick BMW and the story of the Ring and Tony nearly swapping paint. Looking forward to the Podium meet.

[@reeltrides911S]

How often do these guys accidentally shift to a wrong gear and end up with an over rev issue? That is always a concern of mine as it usually ends up in the ECU as an occurrence and possible engine problem later. Just asking as I have two manual 911’s and have so far not f’d up on my shifting

[@nealrantoul9831]

At 76 I feel I am too old for track time like you showed us in the new video, but you brought me right back to it. What a pleasure. Thank you so much

[@drivenmad2089]

Fantastic video again Sam! Also really cool to see how calm Tony is on track, dude can drive!

[@r35killa]

Thankful for Tony being part of these videos on this trip! It sells me even more on your podcast with all the stories that you shared over the past few weeks there. Great add on to see video footage from it as well!

[@Tristanbirdyt]

Fantastic video as always STG Thank you very much love your GT3 spec Thank you again for your editing have a great week

[@oliversteels7]

Two gt3's with your mate, can't get much better. Brilliant work and very much enjoying the Podcast 🤙👏

[@fit_pharmd4830]

Love the enthusiasm you both. Ring to the channel. It’s clear when you’re in the right car you’re whole attitude and character come alive thru the video. You must love the GT3!

[@Trophy_R]

Great driving Sam, don’t put yourself down, you were more than fast enough, Tony probably has more seat time on track, another cracking video

[@danielschaafsma]

Great video! Had fun watching you two drive around in these awesome cars!

[@NJRacer623]

The checkered details on the interior of your 911 are so rad! Such an awesome spec.

[@pt99810]

Exceptional video. Fine illustration of the manual - vs - PDK difference too.

[@davidkeenan5989]

I love the sounds of that engine.

[@SalomOon01]

Well done Sam! Awesome to see you gain confidence in the GT3 and having so much fun! Tony is very impressive and relaxed on track, something I didn’t expect from him 😂. The man can drive! You both have a great dynamic on the podcast, but it translates really well here on camera as well! Looking forward to the next videos 🤩

[@LiammInHD]

Fantastic video Sam, really enjoyed everything about it!

[@TheCabrooster11]

It’s great to see your increasing confidence and speed over the different sessions, as you always say Tony is a far more competitive driver with it’s plain to see a lot more experience in GT3s on track, but the fact that you kept with him on more road biased tyres in a manual car 👍

[@henkedahlen]

Love your content, and especially your GT3 content! That car it just so damn beautiful to look at, and the engine sound is just phenomenal🥰 Continue to do what you're doing man!

[@stephenrooker1941]

Two good drivers in two great cars flat out ,what's not to like absolutely loved this cheers guys ❤️

[@MUV4TRUK4]

you and tony doing track stuff together is great

[@leighwhite6363]

Thanks Sam, im on a road trip next year to Spa and onto Stuttgard and have booked the Car Loft at B’mine after seeing it on your video, looks fabulous, keep enjoying that GT 3 ☺️

[@cj41079]

Manual GT3 on road course.....priceless in my book.....❤

[@ChrisW444]

That was soooo good. I am feeling a little bit down recently but this really has given me a real boost. Really enjoyed it, thank you. I have a Cayman S which I love but a 911, I suppose is everyone's dream car and I don't think I will stretch to that at any point but I think that is why this gave me such a boost. It was like being in the car. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@jackleonard2088]

Sam the spec of your Porsche is just perfect. Seeing it in action is incredible. Glad you’re enjoying it.

[@thomasczerpak1283]

Loved these road trip videos! Great little series- please do more!!

[@GazMoby]

16:05 the robot mower in the background 😂😂

[@jamespugh]

Wounder how else seen that

[@rohan6983]

Brilliant video and impressive driving by the both of you!

[@mattbatchelor6781]

Green GT3 in the green Austrian hills, heaven!

[@owenmorgan857]

The GT3 is amazing, watching your adventures just makes me double down on my efforts to get my pocket book to a state that I can afford one

[@Paul_F_C]

Great video and you drove brilliantly and I would have been to scared to drive my 911 around there like that

[@7ol6a]

What a Video. LOVED every second of it!

[@davidbillberg2203]

Geat run! Driving the car as it is intended!

[@toddnason5250]

Well done to you both. “That was MEGA!”

[@stevemurrell6167]

Fun video Sam.....looks like you had a blast!

[@stephenwarren9762]

I'm really impressed with the PZeros ive had recently fitted on my jcw mini

[@juandanzilo9324]

Honestly your driving was on point. And more importantly you looked like you were having fun!

[@matthughes6379]

Best video you’ve done. Love all the different camera angles and on track filming. What in car camera are you using?

[@roadsweride_pt]

Damn, Tony is going ballistic, congratulations mate!!

[@martynsmotors2741]

Great video, looks like loads of fun

[@willep1988]

Your 911 just looks so f***ing good in that spec. Bravo 👏

Tony as some cool track skills! That’s awesome

[@SWR112]

Sorry that robot mower at the big bull absolutely stole the show for me…..brilliant. The great thing is out for a blast with your mate on a fabulous track in a stunning setting then well you drive home and that the Porsche formula right there and weapon on the track and a polished grand tourer.

[@FrankDBoyce]

Great progression throughout the day!!

[@K-S-Y123]

I know you eventually let Tony through on the big bend lol. You were super fast attacking them corners at the end. Well done. Great footage really enjoyed it.

[@jayman9177]

Love it! Makes me dreaming of owning a GT3 ❤

[@yunusbiter]

Excellent track battle ! Love it

[@rahulsudhir666]

While I do have appreciation for cars with PTS colours on, Tony's black GT3 just looks menacing in the rear view cameras. Love it!

[@brendanpegrum3099]

Great video and know it is not your thing but good to see "normal" drivers in nice cars on track! Also would love to see more of Tony on track. You 2 are a great duo!!

[@sickjohnson]

More track days Sam! Wish Tony had a camera in his car chasing you...that would have been some awesome laughs.

[@brooksjtony]

Nicely done Sam, the cars are just special, I know, I have the 992RS 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@OnThePlane194]

Awesome content, great editing too 👍🏻

[@jonor3370]

Great! You were both brilliant!

[@Alex_Fung]

Loved this video! Great job 👏🏾

[@tobiasjacobsen_dk]

Nice to see tony really pedalling that gt3 around !

[@peteranderson7497]

Sam, like you, I would have always gone for the manual gearbox over the PCT. But after watching your laps and then Tony's laps; it's a no brainer! Manual gearboxes are for dinosaurs. Your car with a PCT and you driving would have to be a second or two faster around that track. Then imagine how much easier it would be over the Bremer Pass. We were wrong!

[@PeterKirton-nu9iv]

Looked like fun. If a car is only to be used for fun the manual is the way to go but for everyday use PDK would be my choice

[@francoisguillamot1887]

Following a PDK with manual like this ! Congrats mate👏

[@911aircooled5]

Great to see you on track, you did well. I too have a manual CS, and very happy to be pedalling it on and off track. Yes it is a bit slower, but a whole lot more fun. Lets face it, we're not going to be factory drivers, so who cares if you are 1-3 secs slower a lap. But the smile factor is MUCH greater, when you get it right. Might also mention that the 992.2GT3 won't be available in a manual in some countries! Stated from Porsche.

[@CHILL73able]

Absolutely excellent

[@ortontom]

Well done Tony, Sam just get a PDK and brake later into corners...bingo...what a car eh...also dont downshift all gears miss a few. Bang the brakes take out the speed then second or third dep. on corner.

[@DavidWilson-kr5gt]

Seeing these laps, I forgot how much you have one hand off the wheel with a manual. It’s been a while since I last owned a manual so it hasn’t crossed my mind. See you both in Sydney next month.

[@studiolezard]

Wow! You've really nailed your shifts after your ride with Tony. He'll be pissed.

[@thelaw300]

Redbull Ring in a GT3 manual. 10/10 life achievement!

[@rowanjscott]

I’m going to the behind the glass live on the Gold Coast in November! I can’t wait, if your filming then I would love to be in the vid! I hear a gintani SVJ might be coming 👍

[@lewiskerr0]

Great content Sam and Tony

[@richardcook2674]

Nice...well done Sam...most of my track has been on motorbikes...I've had a lot of coaching...if you relax your body it will help and make the whole experience much more enjoyable...grinding your teeth won't make you faster...!!

[@markh6384]

Well, no two ways about it. That was a fun day!

[@larssonk22]

As Max would say, simply lovely

[@filipegil8752]

Tony is a good peddler. Quite smooth, far smoother and I guess the fact PDK have more gears and shorter ratios he can be on a higher gear most of the time.

[@shaunkirby5341]

great vid and experience .

[@f1jr724]

🎉Congratulations Sam🥳

[@AleksandarGospic]

That engine just sings 😄 Excellent driving Sam 👌 I never tried it, but it is not hard to conclude that manual shifting is not easy on track at those speeds and while fighting those centrifugal forces, everything happens so fast, so well done. Yeah, from your previous tours, we know that Tony is a speed demon 😆

[@hovnojede010101]

with auto rev match and flat shift functions, it's never been easier, though.

[@OjasVadke]

Hey sam! I believe GT3s can do no lift shifts so maybe you could try with that to be quicker if you want! I reckon I saw it on a Mr JWW video

[@danbooker278]

Superb driving Sam (and Tony).. Cant help think that the PDK is buying Tony a fair bit of time especially on corner entry and more grip with tyres.. Sure he is faster but I think you'd be damn close if you were both in same car .. Great video as usual...

[@2bunphettered788]

Awesome, just awesome!! 😎👍🏾

[@elgunvaliyev3238]

It seems to the viewer that you are inside the car, thumbs up!

[@lambert5864]

Sams 360 is up for auction at Collecting Cars! End of an era!

[@jamespugh]

Sam amazing 👏 time for you and Tony. Still think you bought the right car man that is a dream. My self pDK thoe in your gt3 color ❤.

[@mikemitch1041]

Pdk all day long , great video well done

[@mrlv8126]

Wow….living the dream…”nice” 👍🏻👌🏻

[@darrenfield3717]

Well done lads 👏

[@AmbientSleeps]

Perfection!

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

Sam and Tony on track was great fun. Just one question Sam - why not brake and change straight down from 4th to 2nd instead of 4th, 3rd 2nd?

[@joen7575]

Omg!! The 360 is up for sale on collecting cars!

[@aaron5703]

Would have been super interesting for you two to swap cars for a behind the glass video! Would have loved to have seen Tony's reaction to driving the manual.

[@TiagoAndreF]

Nice to see Tony beeing fast then Sam, more years on the planet makes a difference.

[@obi-wankenobi7160]

Great job Sam, I love the track content with the beautiful pts gt3 🫡

[@joshuawagy]

That car is so good.
