Kevin Estre flat out on damp Nürburgring - 273km/h!

Another incredible lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, 7:07 BTG in cold (10c), damp conditions with Nürburgring legend, Porsche factory race driver, Kevin Estre, in the new 992 GT3 RS with Weissach package! This was a charity lap (which I paid full price for) to raise money for the Du Sport et Plus childrens' charity, on the Manthey Racing track day on the 23rd October 2023. This GT3 RS is a development car loaned by Porsche for the day. It was on brand new (cold) Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R tyres, which took a while to bed in/warm up.
We hit 274km/h just before Scwedenkreuz, and a crazy 265km/h through Foxhole!
Thank you so much Kévin for another amazing lap!

265km/h through the Foxhole on this lap - pretty unbelievable! 🚀💨

[@mgcharoudin]

Lucky bastard! I keep missing to get on the list by a few minutes 😂

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes it was another incredible experience! Have to be quick! Thanks for stopping by Misha!

[@chrisbuckley1742]

​@@andrewhurstcarscommitment wasn't lacking on that lap, very nice to watch someone willing to chuck it in so to speak. Very talented driver👌

[@Peteski-0]

Absolutely awesome Andrew!! Good to see you back with Kevin. So much more input into this than the last video. Just stunning 🤜

[@andrewhurstcars]

Thanks for watching Peter!

[@nezinomasas]

Five years passed.. Time flies.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes, and first time Kevin has taken the 992 GT3 RS on track!

[@Wbwhauxsw]

Agree

@@Wbwhauxswwelcome back!

Dude it’s only been 10 days.

Clearly, you haven't seen first video with Kevin and Andrew, I would say it's 5 year celebration and lots of memories.@@kingdongo4388

No words we love Kevin is best of the drivers and skills just respect.

Amazing Kevin is the best, ran my GT3RS in around there in September 7000rpm limit !

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes he is, an amazing experience on the Nordschleife! Nice one Alistair 👍🏻

[@samuelgomez3311]

Amazing, amazing, amazing!

Thanks for watching!

[@dgreset]

Quel pilote ce Kevin Estre! J'ai beaucoup de respect pour piloter ainsi avec un petit crachin qui rend la piste grasse. Chapeau bas maestro!

[@andrewhurstcars]

Absolument, l'un des meilleurs pilotes, capable de conduire une voiture à la limite dans toutes les conditions !

[@paultrudel9791]

Nice lap, wish I could have the same confidence in those tires as exhibited here in these conditions.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Haha yes, always amazing to see what Kevin can do on the limit! 265km/h through the Foxhole here, right after turning the wipers on, is pretty breathtaking!

[@sensationalArt]

Mega Video Andrew

[@andrewhurstcars]

Thanks for watching!

[@speedbrake]

That must have been fun! Do you know the settings he used for suspension (compression/rebound), PTV+, ESC/TC?

[@andrewhurstcars]

Absolutely, awesome fun - an amazing experience! Yes, -1 for compression and +3 for rebound on my lap. ESC off.

[@Sleeper47]

this looks very scary in the wet, nice driving and engine sound!

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes incredible what Kevin can do on the limit!

[@andrewhurstcars]

@@loveobd628 that would be great, but Kevin has so far stuck to the GT3 RS for charity lap days.

[@juanpablo046]

cool to see how he forces temp for the front tires

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes they needed some warming up from cold, plus it was only about 10 degrees c!

[@chucky29949]

very nice.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes, new 992 RS is something else. On a summer day it would be even faster.

[@user-rc5mr3er3u]

Kevin is a fucking UFO 😂😂 🔥🔥🔥

[@81masomaso]

Easy 7:10 BTG 😂 Kevin is the Best😊

[@andrewhurstcars]

He is - and that was in 10 degrees with rain, would have been a fair bit faster on a warm, dry day!

[@damachine3]

My 992 GT3 RS is GT Silver Metallic (as is my GT4 RS). From the thumbnail, this one looks like Dolomite Silver Metallic, like my 992 GT3 (manual). I love it...hint of icy blue in it. I initially spec'd my 992 GT3 RS with Azurro Thetys Metallic, but Porsche got backlogged on PTS and I didn’t want to wait several more months.

[@andrewhurstcars]

Nice, this car is in fact Azzurro Thetys Metallic, with Weissach package / carbon cage, optional yellow stitching, and multiple sets of black and silver wheels for the day.

[@damachine3]

@andrewhurstcars Awesome, yeah, I could it had some blue in it...but hard to tell the exact color from the thumbnail. Mine has all of the boxes checked as well...and yellow seatbelts. I just finished taking it for a drive about an hour ago. 🤘🏻

[@andrewhurstcars]

@@damachine3 cool, enjoy! GT Silver Metallic is a very smart colour, and it will always have that link to the Carrera GT. There are more photos of this RS on my Instagram if you want to see others - same handle as here @andrewhurstcars

[@captainunknown]

Nice video✌️ Loved you last one with Kevin on a dry NBR🚀 I guess its no idé to overide dynamic DRS in these conditions. (It looks like the wings is in maximum downfore all the time) If full dry I guess full downforce is not in need on meny fast sections. For instance kesselchen Kevin would do flat in low downforce mode (DRS) to gain vmax up that section (and some other sections)

[@andrewhurstcars]

Thanks! The DRS on the wing here on the RS is constantly adjusted by the car. It opens on straight sections then shuts for braking and cornering.

[@captainunknown]

@@andrewhurstcars Thanks..That's exactly what I reacted to that it doesn't seem to work. Because in the car's display it is clearly visible when DRS is engaged. Usually it lights up in green with the text DRS active when the car goes into low aero. Here its only orange and you see it all time (hence wing is up full aero all lap?)

[@andrewhurstcars]

@@captainunknownit’s a Porsche development car so not fully customer spec. Look at photos of the car on my Instagram page, same handle, and you can see the wing fully open in the car park.

[@captainunknown]

@@andrewhurstcars thanks 🙏 Lucky you by the to ride with Kevin. I was on the reserv list to sit passenger but missed out🥲 Bettet luck for med next yest i hope 🤞🏻 😁

[@andrewhurstcars]

@@captainunknown yes very fortunate, but I did wait five years before doing a another lap to give other people a chance. If you’re fast to send an email you’ll get on the list 👍🏻

[@Drakinato]

wow that had some understeer on turn in

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes tyres were brand new and cold for the first 2km, air temp was around 10c plus a bit of rain.

[@L.LRacing]

incredible you say haha i say this is a dream haha the close enough i get is the porsche on iracing nordschleife

[@jayliwela6402]

Such an incredible and talented driver.Is the 992 GT3RS used here a "development car" and in the video 5 years ago with the 991.2 lap was that also a development car?

[@andrewhurstcars]

Yes these are both owned by Porsche - you can tell by the ‘BB’ number plates. They are loaned for the day to do the charity laps that Kevin does.

[@jayliwela6402]

@@andrewhurstcars Oh I thought Porsche owned the cars with the "SG:" number plates as the S stands for Stuttgart. Are these cars "stock" like production line cars or do they have "Porsche Voodoo" secrets?

[@andrewhurstcars]

@@jayliwela6402 yes the Porsche Germany press cars always have the ‘S-GO’ numberplates. S is for Stuttgart and GO is for ‘Geschäftsbereich Oeffentlichkeitsarbeit’ which basically means press/PR division. The development cars however are from Weissach, so have the BB numberplates, being in Böblingen.

[@jayliwela6402]

@@andrewhurstcars so these development cars are the same as stock production line cars?
