The GT3 is an absolute weapon in the hands of a skilled driver like Misha. Would love to see him race it without traffic and yellow flags.

Props to passenger for his childlike joy at 5:08. Dudes straight up ecstatic. Amazing lap, even heavy traffic just broke up immediately for you.

they just brought it back but for they didn't have it for a while, that's why the 911 R was such a big deal because it had the GT3 engine with a manual.

The last time I wrote about Porsche, people wrote to me that I was a fan boy, but this is pure proof that these cars are something very special. Great respect to Porsche engineers and the entire team who built these racing cars. Misha great flying Salute.

[@MrCaterhamr500]

Normal Porsche models are poorly designed though and used to be quite dull with over long gearing and quiet exhausts. Let’s not even go there with the design faults of which there are numerous!!

[@blakewhite8831]

​@@MrCaterhamr500poorly designed😂? Even the base 911 or the base cayman are masterpieces of engineering and quality. And they progress to near perfection in the GT and GT-RS models. No idea what you are talking about. Even the new hybrid base that was just tested has journalists ecstatic and blown away. No disrespect intended, but the statement is just contrary to reality

[@MrCaterhamr500]

@@blakewhite8831 you clearly don’t know your Porsches. IMS RMS Bore scoring Coked up engined Split turrets on GT4s Cracked chassis on numerous models Failing dual mass flywheels - why fit a heavy flywheel to a lovely short stroke engine, talk about limiting its potential! Cylinder head porosity Cylinder de-chunk Their choices of gear ratios has been very poor over the years, using very long gearing and FD ratios, usually with a wide space between 1-2nd gear and the other gears are then quite close, but makes initial acceleration from rest feel slow.

[@blakewhite8831]

@@MrCaterhamr500 my family has had four of them...? So as opposed to your statement, I know Porsche quite well. As do 99% of motoring journalists that agree with me. How many have you had?

[@MrCaterhamr500]

@@blakewhite8831 firstly owning a car doesn’t mean a thing if you are not qualified to comment. Secondly you have completely ignored the brief list of a snapshot of poor design issues Porsche models suffer from. Thirdly motoring journalists are dealing with new cars usually, and if you think they are always unbiased you are living in a dream world. You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

You know its a great lap when the passenger looks over with that, "my god, did you just do that" look!

[@birelboy1]

These cars are just magic on wheels. Emotion is amazing, handling is amazing. If you got the money this is the one you need to buy.

[@EvoraGT430]

Or for 1/4 of the money, just buy a Lotus 🙂

[@thomasferrarojr.9772]

​@@EvoraGT430Lotus are very nice cars, but they are no GT3. Not even close.

[@GrandpaWazi]

@@EvoraGT430 Can you go into detail? Respectfully, no lotus is comparable to a GT3. Unless your referencing the Lotus Evija X which costs 2.3 million. I'm sure there's a model I am unaware of you may be referencing here. The lotus line is huge. There isn't too much Nürburgring data on the Evora GT410 yet but that also is not a 1/4 cost of the GT3.

[@supraJZA80s]

​​​@@thomasferrarojr.9772 A high spec Evora does much of what a GT3 can do (just not as well), but for a fraction of the price. A lotus Elise/Exige is more raw and involving than a GT3, albeit more compromised for road usage. GT3 engineering is far superior but you pay a hefty price. (Source: I have driven all of the above)

[@tdlaustralia7791]

That one corner just after the traffic before the yellow, left hander uphill, normally take that around 80-90kph in decent cars, you went 130kph, crazy grip. I watch all the speeds and lines for my forza games and that's always been a hard section and I've only seen race cars do that.

[@Exponaut_R-01]

I really thought they stopped making manual GT3s. Still cool as a paddle shift but with a manual it's basically one of the fastest cars you're still allowed to row your own gears in. Awesome for Porsche to still offer a manual on their high end, unlike... Most of the other big brands really.

[@AaRonBurgundy]

wow you could see the car unsettled on start but once heated that thing was planted . Amazing lap and car, just gripped! love it

For my light car AR-1 (TW100) works better, but CR-S (TW200) is a good banger for "normal" cars like Porsche and a option in realy hot conditions for me. Love to Nankang for their effort in Track tyres, even in smaler sizes!

[@christopherjohnston6343]

I do appreciate that CR-S is available in 15" sizing. Seems like it Has nearly the grip levels as AR1 but a bit better on a road driven car
