Helper springs aren't actually contributing any support to the weight of the car. The spring rate of the helper spring is too low for that purpose. It is purely there to keep the main spring in the correct position. In fact, the helper spring is fully compressed most of the time, until the suspension is beyond a certain level of droop, does the helper spring expand. The reason why the GT3 RS has decent ride compliance on the right roads is because the damper rebound control is actually relatively soft.

just as an explanation to those who wonder why McLarens have narrower tyres: from a Vehicle Dynamics department point of view they have always chosen the approach (I think it started with Gordon Murray's F1) to put the narrowest tyre that can cope with the power. Hence the P1 has narrower tyres (unless I'm mistaken) than the 918 or LaFerrari. However its engine still allows it a very quick standing mile. The benefit is good steering feel and also a nice "driftable" car. You can power slide a 997 GT3 but on most dry roads it's not that easy for every day drivers (it is for Tiff Needell or Chris Harris who've practiced a lot). The modern 911s tend to be a bit "over-tyred". They feel very sharp and are a hoot on those welsh roads. A car that is more adjustable and fun for the average driver is a Cayman with not too wide sections front and rear. Ultimate track performance is typically conflicting with driving feel.

I agree on the supercars, but hot hatches are doing it too. The latest crop of German "hyper hatches" like the A45S are too fast but also lost all the fun of a hot hatch.

Looks mental but it's not a car you can drive like an idiot which for me is the whole point of a hot hatch. I bought a Porsche instead...but not a GT3RS (too fast...but mostly I can't afford it). I went for a 981 Cayman S, which I think is about the fastest car that you can throw around like a hot hatch. Has the boot space to match too.

This isn’t an entirely accurate review. There is loads of steering dynamic driving thrills, and amazing feel of tyre grip through the front or rear tyres in a 991.2 GT3 RS. I can only guess you wasn’t driving it fast enough, which is harder to explore on public roads. Drive it around the track like Silverstone, (which is what as RS is aimed at), then you will feel exactly what’s going on with those wide front tyres. This is an excellent car for driver feedback and communicating the limits. You will just lose your license way before, and zero fear of death, your bollox won’t even fit in the bucket seats trying on the road 🤷♂️
