Porsche 911 GT2 RS Record Lap at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park

[@carlosparacio5679]

This’ll always be Mosport to me. Such a fun track.

[@Comestomind]

Kinda silly for Porsche to bring in a guy from Germany to drive the car when they could have saved the airfare and just had Ron Fellows jump in and set a record.

[@ismirwumpe]

German guy just left the plane, sets record with German car. Flies back home. Job done.

[@marktaylor6952]

Yeah

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

He didn't even break a sweat on this easy track we have

[@ConradILIius]

Efficient

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

God the 991.2 GT2 RS is a freak beast!!

[@pauljr.harrington1905]

On the Nurburgring, the GT2 RS managed to barely beat the Pagani Zonda R (6:47.3 to the Zonda’s 6:47.5) whilst here the GT2 RS didn’t even come close. The Zonda R ran a 1:07 here.

[@aouraghe68]

Bring GT2 RS in Gran Turismo Sport..

[@FrancisRS]

I think Porsche is a Forza Motorsport's partner. Sooo, not gonna happen

[@idan_fr1502]

But with GOOD steering!

[@FrancisRS]

@@maxwellritz2332 didn't know that tbh

[@AQCE245]

Who's better then Porsche🤔🤔 Nobody

[@fastdays_1]

You know who's better than Porsche? Another Porsche.

[@RHS-992]

Impressive reference, going to lap it next weekend with 488, 😊

[@TechWithLukasz]

Howd you do!

[@scottsterry8119]

It would be interesting to know what the PDK lap times would be between it being in the “Auto” position, version the manual shifting that the driver does while chasing a lap record like this?

[@fraserpitkethly2265]

when you do these record laps, is the fuel tank full or half full or what?

[@tomasgodoy5974]

Probably low fuel

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

Low fuel they can go faster but full tank keeps them down more with weight

[@mattyp3119]

Guy jumps off a plane and sets a lap record. 4 years later, Corvette team takes three full days of lapping and gets one good lap.

[@DontKnowHowToTypeIn2]

three full days of lapping?

[@alancarloss]

Meu carro dos sonhos, me patrocina Porsche além de carros lindo são excelentes.

[@DizzyMan24]

What vehicle held the previous production car record? But, 1:22 isn't bad. Nascar's Pinty's series will run a 1:22 there, and the Nascar Truck series will run sub 1:20's. I bet the GT2 RS could too.

[@eedoamitay3341]

arent they on slick tires?

[@benchaggaresmusic]

The superbikes are also running low 1:21 laps around here. Impressive by the Porsche.

[@pranavps851]

What are the two dots going inside the two circles? can someone explain? I kinda figured it has something to do with the direction of motion of car. If it is indeed showing the lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration, the direction of the dot's movement confuses me.

[@FourT6and22]

G-force

[@andrewrichardson5604]

G-force, but it seems like the lateral (left to right) axis is reversed

[@rgeorgek42]

Waiting for the “GT3RS was also here and sort of set a record” follow up video... 🤣

[@sergiodavid5025]

Como me encantaria ver este coche en Nurburgring

[@oldgoat5]

Wanted to see throttle and brake data

[@pedroleao4880]

Porsche when can we expect some GT2 RS Clubsport action in nurburgring nordschleife?

[@AD-mq8ny]

Was this done in auto or manual mode?

[@ALMX5DP]

From the video it looks like manual mode as you can see him pulling at the righthand paddle for upshifts.

[@colino944]

Ist das Mosport? Die Kurve 2 kommt mir irgendwie bekannt vor

[@16golfr56]

Yup

[@taforth]

Cojin So ja

[@Superficixl]

So y’all just gonna keep breaking track records huh? Aight

[@brocky]

Lap times would be more significant if there were other lap times to compare it to. Numbers by itself don't mean a thing and doesn't do justice for such a fantastic car.

[@drdavidrose4]

It takes me about 2:00 in my Cayman S at this track

[@akieabdul]

This car just went faster than the entirety of imsa Michelin pilot challenge class. Even in their qualifying trim they were running 1:23s. So just to put this in perspective they are race cars on race slicks.

[@stevehash158]

@@akieabdul DAYM 😲😲😲

[@ALMX5DP]

@@akieabdul It's definitely impressive, but remember those cars have restrictors that limit power to 4-450hp (not sure if that is brake hp or to the ground). Seems like that difference in power about makes up for the aero and tire advantages they have (plus a little, as like you said this car is still about a second quicker than quali times).

[@TheSandman121212]

You should have him go back now he knows the track better. He could break into the teens. He could of for sure gone down turn 4 faster, so Im sure there is a bunch of time to be made up elsewhere.

[@emilepapillon2275]

No way this guy is new to the track, lol

[@ejmatthews9718]

Just like that

[@theacehd1742]

Was gunna say a lot of room to go faster, compared with how f1 drivers do it totally on the limit entire lap. Not detracting from him but saying could be even better

[@pope400]

Who else is here from Jalopnik?

[@sunsail]

TUCK FRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@juliusschreck613]

Go Trump!

[@JREVY22DECEPTICON416]

It's not exactly hard to get a record here. Amateur drivers in rusty project cars, teenagers, and racing series nobody has heard of. The lap records at the Nürburgring are an accomplishment. This not so much 😂😂but good job Porsche is the best 👌

[@solcharms4224]

So you haven't heard of IMSA is what you're saying...

[@medic53067]

⁠@@solcharms4224apparently he hasn’t! Or Formula 1, CART, NASCAR, TRANSAM, Group 5 prototypes or CANAM… the list goes on. This track is held in very high regard by many of the world’s greatest drivers. Extremely high speed corners, off camber, blind approach’s to Turns 2 and 4. An old world real race track that has maintained its original character, while improving safety for driver’s and the fans! Nordschleife is an anomaly among road courses, tracks like Mosport, Watkins Glen, Road America Virginia are the greatest tracks North America has to offer. The Nordschleife is an amazing place to drive, but it’s still a public road not a dedicated track. And it’s still a pretty dangerous place that has many areas that aren’t easily accessible to safety teams. And while it has become the benchmark for testing road cars for lap records, attempting to state Mosport isn’t difficult to get a lap record on just shows this person’s lack of knowledge when it comes to how truly difficult it is to drive this track well. Never mind setting a new record in rusty old car. Pretty glib statement.

[@Sekelele]

_ that racetrack needs new asphalt , lots of noise coming from the track .
