Porsche 991 GT3 Driven Hard - My £1,800 Brake Bill!

The Porsche GT3 is back on the channel after a little absence - in that time my Porsche 991 GT3 has clocked over 20,000 miles via a mixture of track days, road trips, filming and day to day use. The 991.2 generation of GT3 has been remarkable, with an engine that revs to 9,000rpm and and incredibly slick manual gear box, this is truly one of the greatest road cars I've had the pleasure of driving. In today's video I share the running cost of brake maintenance after a lot of track use and a brief look at track day etiquette...

The old brake pads look like they are historic artifacts from the stone age haha.

[@blueman5924]

Would be a cool man cave art if mounted in a glassed in shadow box. First racing memory.

[@AJ-lm9sg]

He should frame it or something looks cool

[@davidryan9342]

I forgot my earphones today,so everyone on this train carriage now knows what a gt3 sounds like revving to 9000rpm

[@MrJWW]

Ha ha brilliant! Spread the love!

[@Punzrox]

Best vid on a long time. Just some proper content of some proper driving with some proper car.

[@byrong1561]

The red line on the floor in the thumbnail made me think I had already watched 3/4 of the video.

[@MrJWW]

Ha ha yes! 😂👍🏻

[@mso008]

Love the fact that you daily drive and thrash it around a track. It's how they're meant to be driven. Respect.

[@MikeyFFA500]

Thank you for making these pure driving enthusiast videos with pure sound and no music!

[@carlrebeiro]

Perfect! THIS is the content I come here for. This is also why James is killing it compared to every other car channel. Sure beats the hell out of watching a bunch of children buy, modify, and flip their cars and calling that "content".

[@djcorza]

Thanks James!! The level of escapism this provided was appreciated!! Love the track days videos!! I do miss track days, will get back into them eventually.

[@christopherhill9786]

Listen to that engine! Glorious😍

[@duncanbleak3819]

Excellent track day content. Also... Loving that "Smoking Tire" double camera positioning while driving. Keep it up.

[@claireandayesh]

This is really cool!! It's nice to what it is like behind the scenes at a typical track day. Thanks for sharing!

[@baldeep2]

Love, love, love track day content! That walk around the paddock - Motivation or what!? Wow. Plus, seeing your track driving ability progress through the archives, awesome man!

[@MrJWW]

Thanks dude!

[@Racelinekarting]

Love watching you drive around circuits. James my friend you have some skills!!!

[@eichler721]

MR. JWW just killing the content 2020. I can't wait to see more track days. Road trips and releases.

[@katman042]

I love the crayon GT3 with a stick! ❤️. I love that it’s a track car and not a garage queen! I love hearing the flat 6 scream! And I really enjoy watching you push the car hard. Great job and congrats on being a real driver.

[@nickgallucci8117]

James !!! finally some macchina passion to DRIVE away the winter blues.......GT3 Passion.....Naturally Aspirated 500HP of pure JOY......Doesnt get any better then this @Porsche..... Grazia Milli Bello Grazia Milli !!!!!

[@AnthonyPuca]

Best driving I've seen in a while, "Revolution race car, look at him go" lol, just awesome! The audio is music.

[@5thgearouttahere]

Magical sound to listen to, what a pleasure! Nice driving JWW.

[@geoffnorton9279]

Always love watching track days....and you are quite some driver. I look forward to following you in the Caterham and wish you the best of luck!

[@panagiotisathanasopoulos]

Loved this video. Was nice to hear the flat6 on full throttle... Keep them coming James

[@fabrizio3711]

My daily daydream, a true escape from lockdown, great videos JWW and a big thumb up from a Porsche lover (from Italy). One day a GT3 will be in my garage I know...

[@dennishillinger8630]

What a video! Love your GT3 spec, James! Thank you for sharing mate.

[@rolfvijn8344]

Really enjoy video's like this, keep it up James!

[@MrJWW]

Thanks mate, more to come!

[@whizz14]

I didn't know you were a proper driver. You're bar is now raised. Great video, with a great spec GT3

[@albertocastro1860]

LOVE THE TRACK CONTENT !!! Hope you keep doing it !

[@slytherben]

These are my fav videos. Just James being James, driving his own cars

[@brianbouch9461]

Nice driving! Looking forward to watching the Caterham racing! Good luck!

[@andersljungmann5703]

So cool to see trackday - with some ins and outs! More trackdays! :)

[@katmanluke7187]

Great job James always love your GT3 track days too & w/that 9000 rpm symphony how can you not!? More please! 👍✊

[@CarToneHK]

Best bedding in brake pad method is stomping at them at higher speeds, so a trackday is perfect

[@tgracing5532]

Loving the GT3 content @mrjww mine is about to go back to the track also. They are such a special piece of kit in every way mine too is manual I just love flat shifting and hearing 9000rpm readline 🥇

[@mattjonesgt3538]

Great video and content as always. Nice to see some fast action stuff too. Nothing quite like that cup engine at 9000rpm! Awesome Mr JWW

[@AbzAden]

Finally some one who doesn’t baby his Porsche bravo 👏

[@geehammer1511]

Dude the back seats in your cars are so comfortable, and the views are even better.

[@jean-pierredejager1517]

Love this type of content😍

[@porschewala9812]

Great video. Awesome to see pure driving content.

[@stephenlane9127]

Great video James, loved the in-car race shot!

[@Jimmynumnuts]

Always enjoy your track content James 👍🏻

[@noshism]

Good video mate! It’s just like one from the old days.

[@alex91062]

Love the GT3 and love how you use it! What a sound!

[@AutoPilotgogogo]

Great video--fantastic that you're out there using the car for its intended purpose! Good luck with the Caterham series.

[@haozuo997]

This is awesome! More track day videos !!

[@n.r.c.w]

Love the content James! Would love to see the GT3 around Zandvoort some day after Corona. Some serious banking going on at that track!

[@MrJWW]

That would be great 👍🏻

[@nandolabraga]

Love your content! Especially track content

[@Storm762x39]

Awesome video as always!

[@pietpara7827]

Great video that gave me the feeling of being there. I hope to learn to drive like that some day.

[@PorschePrinceton]

We are loving the Porsche content! Cheers!!

[@lapamful]

Hi James, don't suppose you'll see this so long after posting but I for one love track content and this was awesome to see. I didn't even know you went to track days! And I didn't think my estimation of you could go any higher 😜 It's awesome and very humbling seeing that whole process of working on the art of it all, on your race line, breaking timing, skill in passing others etc. and it would be great to show the kids that think they're The S**t because they got a good laptime on a video game...? But I also love the fact that you don't necessarily need to be rich to do it. At some tracks you can hire a super light weight race car or even buy one for under ten thousand quid. Or maybe that's just the US? Anyway, love this and please keep 'em coming!

[@adamscott7632]

great video, would love to see the same format at different tracks

[@MrJWW]

Thanks. I’ll work on it

[@Chrissy-H]

Those are some very quick gearchanges, up and down 👍. Nicely driven

[@antonoat]

Excuse me Sir, I think you were having way too much fun there! lol. Classic JWW content, loving it!

[@davidknight4096]

Showing the rest how it's done. Top content.

[@asyrigos]

Great video, more of track related please... looking forward to some content from the Caterham series as well!

[@diogoleitao8628]

Amazing! Your car is my dream car! It's the car that I visualize everyday. I would love to see more videos of youR GT3 ;)

[@titor8017]

JWW smashing The track. 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@cliftonjackson441]

I'm gonna keep asking about until I see it, but we need a track day video with the whole gang. This was an amazing video though. Love that chalk gt3

[@oliversteels7]

As always fantastic work

[@Nosnx1987]

Pretty good performance for those pads in consideration of car use, well done Porche👍

[@sibbese3740]

You never get tired of that GT3 engine sound, I gotta drive one of those some day...

[@rosshunter9053]

Lived and worked at the old Amport Inn back in the late 80s and enjoyed many a day at Thruxton. Happy memories

[@user-yr9hp5sv9t]

Really enjoyed this video James

[@jasonbecker3319]

Been waiting James!

[@rtoky]

Nice! Pccb Discs look shiny and in great condition, despite 20k miles! Mine were 30% worn at that mileage!

[@noahbirdrevolution]

That intro is 💯 Always love gt3 content; tho I really liked the miami blue gt3rs.

[@waqidj]

That’s awesome man. Consider that some brakes are toast end of 1 or on the 2nd track day.

[@Will_M600]

Ur the only reasonably quick supercar vlogger out there 👌 keep it up Also use normal discs with rs29s or something

[@SuperSportMTL]

Not bad at all for CB pads/service. Great vid !

[@nathandrake6531]

Thanks for the video. Really are the best in the game

[@complicatedtime]

Wow. Thank you!! With the Australian GP canceled - this gave me my racing fix!!!

[@davidnimmo9933]

GT3 sounds amazing and that looks a great day out.I might have to do a track day at some point 👍

[@gustavosimonetti9721]

You should share more Caterham content with us!! Great video mate, keep up the good work.

[@MrJWW]

Next video!

[@mwf5]

Epic video James. Such a treat to see your GT3 being driven as it should be. We actually share the identical crayon car, bar the seatbelt colour... and mileage disparity - oh and the now old ceramics on mine.

[@MrJWW]

Congrats! Such a mega car 🥳

[@steved2008]

With so many Bell ends on car channels these days (no names) you Sir are a breath of fresh air and I salute you. 👍😎❤️

[@MrJWW]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@lukecomerford1684]

Nice video fella!

[@sedrabilal6663]

The noise alone is sublime nevermind anything else

[@JG7Racer]

Dang great laps 👍😚

[@AyrenJagar]

Great video James. Felt like I was sitting passenger.

[@RohanNambiar001]

Would like to see more fancy Mr.JWW montages !!! 😍

[@bu2co]

Looove this content.

[@jahangirhussain9701]

20k miles 👍 someone’s having fun

[@allensaunders449]

With car content hard to come by with travel restrictions. Nice that you have some nice cars to drive for good content

[@DriverGuy23]

You’re gonna hate it when you have to replace your ceramic rotors. $20K US dollars for a full set, it including labor. This is why most people run steel rotors on the track.

[@BMW7series251]

Wow James, that was some driving.

[@comicozzi1152]

Love the Nurburgring sticker under your hood, says it all!!

[@joser709]

Why does he not have 10M subs already?! Super good content.

[@johnc6658]

Great video. GT3 sounds amazing and goes to show the quality of engineering which leads me on to the brake pads. Yes expensive but you get what you pay for. If you can afford a car north of £100k and run it on track than €1800 for pads is relative. Good luck.

[@SephCondor]

I won’t lie, I’d be scared to track day my own car, but maximum respect to you for giving the GT3 so much love! 😀👏🏾

[@lp6704superveloce]

The sound of the NA flat 6 in the GT3 is just something to behold

[@Andy-pu2iv]

Wish I'd watched this before last weekend. I replaced the discs, pads and 1 caliper on the front of my '03 Honda Civic last Friday. Damn, I could have saved a flippin' fortune if I'd gone down the ceramic route...

[@leotac5737]

Your driving is on point sir

[@pad3357]

The RS6 looked perfect sat in the paddock.

[@ZenGamer97]

loved the insight in this vid!!! awsm

[@TallDrink911]

I see Mr. JWW Porsche GT3 video, instant click, instant like

[@PBazBarrett]

Hehe Left hand thread toeing eye? great video and perfect car for a few laps!.. Thank 4 sharing..

[@lovelocking]

yes yes yes she is back

[@pereldh5741]

Always have at least 5-6mm left of pad before a trackday run. On a car like this easy to check! Nice nod to the manual Giulia Q, I think that’ll be my next car!

[@OldManOnTrak]

You won’t regret it

[@MR94JOKER]

The shifting is on point almost every time

[@andrealt9261]

Mr JWW. just push the upper part of the towhook cover in next time :) just if u didnt know by now

[@hpkntnw]

It is amazing that Porsche can make that engine stay together for as long as they do. 9,000 rpm means that crankshaft is making 150 complete revolutions every second. Even at 6,000 that’s 100 revolutions every second!!

[@sbkpeace.24]

"Yes mate"😂 Awesome !
