Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Nürburgring King vs Top Gear Track! | Stig Laps

[@TopGear]

The 991-generation 911 GT2 RS set a 1min 13.4 time in 2019. Will this GT3 RS be faster?

[@carlosrieum1526]

Cant wait to see the 992 GT2 RS in action

[@danielwilson3441]

Nope

[@MrEdouardYT]

@TopGear Yes of course it's a track-focused car it will be not a problem for him 😉

[@drewjames8594]

On a wet track?…🤔

[@toddmarshall-x9r]

I wish you guy used more Common Sense whilst testing cars on track! I've been to England, So I know, there are Plenty days where IT DOES NOT RAIN, TEST CARS ON NON Wet Track days! You've got enough pull/clout to borrow/rent cars on those days Only. This makes lap time comparison and review USELESS.

[@mareksw]

Thank you for including the POV segment and without any interruptions, voiceovers, or noise (music).

[@scrub4923]

Man that stig POV lap view is insane, never change it

[@jackcharles8243]

how has no one pointed out that the lap was in the wet. Stig had wipers on!

[@miskomarkovic3446]

Yes, and oily to

[@joules2936]

Mildly moist, as some laps in previous years were labelled.

[@max.racing]

its a shame

[@T-CainesZR1]

It wasn't that wet. You could her tire.

[@thomprd]

@@joules2936 It was actively raining.

[@gwcrispi]

Why even bother doing laps when it is wet?

[@Sidewinder5]

England. Always rainy...Plus they got the car borrowed. So they have to work with what they can...

[@michaelsummerell8618]

Do you think it's their own car or do think they've borrowed it for a short time from Porsche? Come on, think about it.

[@AD-df5tm]

I mean, they probably only have the car for the day. Cant really just not do laps. Its also pretty clearly NOT wet when he is doing th laps.

[@philipc6553]

That was the original plan for the top gear test track. They had a water tender that would spray the track before the car went out. But it standard top gear fashion; it was ambitious, but rubbish.

[@justincharles6585]

​@michaelsummerell8618 Some people can't put two and two together. Unfortunately, that makes the world go round

[@mufflejoy]

Doing these Stig laps to keep the board going is pure genious 🙂 - I was looking forward to this one.

[@BVZTIII]

Jesus, the cornering on this car is *brutal!* And that was a moist lap as well.

[@Foxtrot1967]

What I found most impressive was the how he left the PDK in auto mode and never touched the paddles once. The car's engineering is practically flawless!

[@Foxtrot1967]

@@funnyspin7768 I beg to differ. Provide time stamp(s) to prove me wrong.

[@nm_992.1]

I admit I don’t see him change gears with the paddles, for instance if you look at the launch and you set a reference in his helmet you se the + paddle isn’t moving so it must be in auto, it then shows what an amazing job the PDK does ( 5:08 )

[@CHUCK_R-tz7ku]

@@funnyspin7768 watch again he never touched the paddles

[@Foxtrot1967]

@@nm_992.1 I agree. I'm waiting for anyone to prove my theory wrong with time stamp(s) showing a paddle movement.

[@-webbo-]

THIS! I was about to reply that in all other videos the Stig uses auto cars in manual mode if possible, and then uses the flappy paddles, but after checking the video 3 times, he leaves the PDK to do its thing (although the shifter is in manual mode) and never touches the paddles - this is the best endorsement of the PDK ever. I'm lucky, and I have the PDK in my 718 Boxster S, and I have to admit, it is exceptional, and telepathic, so I can understand why even the Stig didn't need to intervene.

[@unreal_aron]

Been waiting for this video!!, the GT3 RS lives up to its name, what an incredible car.

[@cletinhos3895]

Stig laps is the most iconic car tv shows on the planet! Stig never get old!

[@Porsche1969]

What a BS! This Mickey Mouse track has no credibility at all, dude! Are you crazy?! If you want to know if a car is really fast on a TRACK, just watch its Nürburgring Nordschleife lap time. Period! By the way: the 992 911 GT3 RS would literally DESTROY 13 out of these 17 cars, which were "faster"on this silly air field Mickey Mouse BS track at dry conditions. This lap with the GT3 RS was at WET CONDITIONS !! Are you sure you are OK, British "car experts"? 🤦‍♂🤦‍♂😂😂 Greetings from Germany

[@rientsdijkstra4266]

Reality check: 518 hp is a sh*tload of power (the first and infamous Porsche Turbo had 260 hp!). What is actually ridiculous is the amount that some other cars have nowadays, especially given the fact that they are not any faster with it. Take for instance that Ford Mustang GTD that they made so much hollabaloo about and that basically lapped the Nurburgring in the same time as a GT3 RS can do, but that needed 800+ hp to to it...

[@NickV1978]

Nailed it 🎯

[@madhavtrivedi9500]

true

[@silverblackss]

Slower with 7 seconds. That is 1.6% - big gap.

[@petrsulc1168]

Did you mean same time as base GT3, right? Because GT3 RS destroys Mustang GTD.

[@gladdy6412]

​@@petrsulc1168Nah GTD is capable of matching, or even beating GT3 RS, Ford's Nurburgring attempt was on a suboptimal track. But still GTD needs 300hp more to do so....

[@cjgent]

I can't help but hear Jeremy's voice "and here he is coming up to Gambon... and across the line!"

[@CHUCK_R-tz7ku]

That’s cause Jeremy was good at his job unlike these guys.

[@exa4003]

It would only be fair if you excluded the lap times that were done in the 3 days of the year when it did not rain.

[@deew187]

Might be the best looking gt3 I've ever seen. Such a beautiful car

[@ozzysgarage]

This thing is ridiculously fast around a track! 🤯🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@BPF80MCar-vi1pg]

The new Gt2rs with this electric powered turbos is going to be unreal

[@ELXABER]

Top Gear needs to get ahold of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Manthey Racing for a dry lap time, it's second on the track that shall not be named for lap times, beaten only by the AMG-One.

[@GurunathHirve]

and also the GT3 RS MR when it's actually available.

[@ELXABER]

@@GurunathHirve It is, it was 6s slower on the other track, more downforce I guess, but might be faster around this one. Hard to gauge.

Could you guys please overlay the full telemetry on the video? That would be truly awesome 👌

[@rewantasubba5180]

Porsche knows how to balance power and and handling. Some cars make 1000hps basically power cannot be exploited in lap test, but they can take advantage of straight sections of lap.

[@greendro6410]

Great video 😊

[@Drizzle7010]

This Porsche uses glue for tires

[@ssgt3]

I notice they say Goodyear on them, but couldn't see the model (probably Eagle RS) ... never seen that before

[@peterfoley7592]

Fun fact of the day the Porsche rear weight bias very similar to mid engined cars. Example, S1 Elise is about 38.9/61.1 and the Porsche is 38.8/61.2 respectively. (I haven’t weighed them myself but this is what google says and it sounds correct)

Top gear, please for the love of god, do a lap in the ultima rs

[@theantsaretakingover]

Just a reminder that the Ultima GTR 720 is still a full second ahead of the jesko on the top gear track (1:09.9). But the RS has much more power (depending on configuration of course), is 50kgm lighter, and has a lot more downforce. The time for it should be nuts.

[@streamnoremorse]

Tires. Look at the last Carrera GT video on Nurburgrinh. Dropped 20 seconds. Of course. Tarmac but tires matters. Also there is new set of tires for Enzo. So privaters should be happy.

Is that a specific song from the beginning of the video?

[@rocketing47]

A lot of the cars have been tested in not so ideal conditions. It’s time seems about right as the Aero is not so efficient on this runway circuit and it hasn’t got the power of the McLaren 675 or GT2RS

[@Porsche1969]

The GT3 RS would totally destroy the McLaren 675 on the Nordschleife, dude! This stupid Top Gear BS was at wet conditions. On such a silly Mickey Mouse "track" a lap time is totally worthless. Even more at wet conditions, when the "faster" cars were at dry conditions. Nobody is interested in this stupid Top Gear "lap time" BS, dude! If you want to know the true capabilities of these cars, take them on the Nordschleife!

[@rocketing47]

[@impacttoinfinity777]

[@jleegt3]

In track mode, the GT3 / RS is faster in auto as it keeps the car in optimal gear and rev for the best lap time than manual.
