Who came up with this idea?
15 straight hours in a GT3 Touring - practically a race car for the road, and therefore not the most comfortable companion long distance.
But that’s the challenge this week - can Damian survive a double road trip to Wales and the Cotswolds intact?
What’s it like driving a GT3 Touring for 15 hours? Does this car need any more modifications? Has Damian finally got used to the red dials? What should this car’s nickname be? What’s it like driving a GT3 everyday? How many miles has this car now done? And what will Damian look like at the end of this challenge? All these questions and more will be answered in this week’s episode?

2:30 Glad you mentioned that. I do thoroughly enjoy waking up early around 4:30am on a Sunday morning to drive my cars around The New Forest and surrounding areas. Beautiful clear sunrise, morning mist, empty roads, no cyclists - utter bliss for us petrolheads.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Amen to that

GT3 - Christopher Lee. (It rhymes and he played a red-eyed Dracula)

[@dam00r]

The Dracula!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I'm liking that

[@themadplotter]

Don''t forget he was also in The Howling 2: Stirba - Werewolf Bitch aka Your Sister Is A Werewolf

[@faizjalal5600]

And a dentist

[@Dan-wz9tr]

Now that's gotta stick........good shout

[@oliverharvey637]

Thanks Damian, a perfect video to watch on a Friday afternoon. Hope you had a great time on the road trip, atleast you had the weather on your side, from what I can see anyway! Keep up the good work, it's always appreciated 👌

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@frozencarguy6274]

GT3: Bloody Mary

[@ghowells5433]

Great way to start a weekend, I love my 991.2 GT3 best car ever and the touring is just a bit cooler. You got to keep this one forever.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

That's the plan!

[@happydays7035]

Much Welly givith! Though the buckets niggle me! You're living out the common man's dream!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍👍👍

[@karlx19]

Hard and loud - I once drove from Yarm (north east UK) to Torquay (south west UK) in an Elise with a Larini exhaust - I still have damaged ears ;)

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Very nice!

[@popsbubbles1242]

Nutter I drove my sports bike to Scotland once ...never again Rather get there with functioning legs and back

[@aljack1979]

I used to do the exact same, S1 111S with larini, from Cumbria to Portsmouth 😬😂

[@eSysmanSuperYachts]

I did a two week road trip in my 997 custom GT2RS to Spain, Monaco and back through France. 2,500 miles. Same seats and Ohlins suspension.

[@cutdepiefails6596]

How good or bad were the ohlins? What rates are you running on them? 997 gt2 do have much nicer spring rates oem, I suspect even the ohlins run less agressive spring rates as the 991.2 gt cars

[@petermarkadams]

Thanks Damian ... it was a blast! Good to see u getting ready for the GTE season!

[@markhamnett4997]

If you think that’s bad , try driving Melbourne to Adelaid in a Nissan navara 🤣🤣

[@victorferm4049]

Best road!

[@richardsayer1533]

Loved the ‘road trip’ format....more please 😊

[@stuartsmith5308]

Good night David Banner

[@cheshirered9204]

'Lovely little tractor moment, there'... LOL. Made me laugh at that. Thought of my dad tootling along in his tractor and trailer. He would've called you yobs! ;- )

[@TheCarGuysTV]

And we would have deserved it :)

[@markcady6882]

Brilliant episode Damian, what an epic day.... Given how amazing you (and we) think the GT3 Touring is then you could name it after a DC Comic character with red eyes called “Amazo”, feels pretty apt... although I did like “Christopher Lee” suggestions too....

[@davidjackson2441]

That Brecon Drive was epic! We had a very early start too but it was worth it. Fortunately our GTS has the 18 way seats so the 338 miles we did that day wasn’t as painful!! Great to meet you too Damian.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Great to meet you too, Dave

[@Peter-Oxley-Modelling-Lab]

Love your Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, Damian. 👍🏻 Great vid. 👏🏻

[@6apache178]

once again you've enabled us to enjoy this amazing car ! Thank you again

[@Bunzietto]

What do you think about new seats for the GT3, and to put rear seat as well? I have a manual 991 GTS with the classical adjustable plus seats that i changed because the bucket's ones were killing me. Oh my god, a totally new car, such a sweet everyday driving car, i think that i put on it like 40k kilometers in just two years.

[@makalu69]

Sid Viscous... he always looked a bit blood shot ;)

[@dangriffiths9813]

Fantastic - what a day! One of the things I love about this channel is you drive the cars and put miles on them rather than just walk around them telling us the stats. The GT3 Touring is not too flashy, fast, has a manual gearbox and sounds good. Great car for just getting out and driving.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@mowilliams1511]

Fan-bloody-tastic video! Love this car, I remember when you went and swapped your Carrera T for it, are you still annoyed with the non-leather interior or have you got over it now? 🤔

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I've got over it now, esp once I re-trimmed the seats in houndstooth.

[@mowilliams1511]

I did spy that, lovely touch, I love a bit of houndstooth 😉

[@MrJdp1968]

The A470 and B4560 are serious driving roads 👌🏻

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Oh yes

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

It was nice to have come along with you Damian, albeit from my sumptuously comfortable sofa

[@TheCarGuysTV]

My pleasure

[@tubs1984]

Love those houndstooth seats and the Patek. You could call it the Red Hot Porker!

[@cheshirered9204]

Thriller! In honour of Jacko's epoch-making video with midnight darkness, black-clad monsters and red eyes everywhere. Great sound track too, like your GT3.

[@TallDrink911]

Perhaps my favorite car in the collection. What a wonderful, albeit physically taxing experience. As battered and bruised as your body is, I know you would do it again in a heartbeat. The true essence of driving

[@TheCarGuysTV]

In a heartbeat! Glad you enjoyed it

[@TallDrink911]

TheCarGuys.TV I didn’t enjoy it! I absolutely loved it!!! Glad to see you regain your love and admiration for the GT3 touring.

[@jjt12345ify]

I see you 6007A!!! Looks good in that touring :) well done!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks!!

[@martinboulden3540]

What a brilliant video Damian. Driving these cars is what it’s all about. Adventures and fun. (Just behave in Lyme Regis !)

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Cheers, Martin

[@FredB458]

My favorite Porsche! No nonsens car, pure driving! Very nice spec, just the red dials are not my cup of tea.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I thought that to start with, but I've grown used to the red dials now

[@ruicalapez8303]

Excuse me for my bad English. Congratulations on your spectacular Porsche 911 GT3 Touring trip. A real driver machine at the style of Steve Mc Queen

Brilliant video ....thanks for taking us along 👍

[@TheCarGuysTV]

[@Racerman27410]

Well done sir! a mighty long day but.... fine tarmac to play on with plenty of beans to spread all over it. Definitely good for the spirit.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Cheers 👍

[@rodasrodas]

This was a good one. A day in a 500hp NA 911, well done. I miss a car with 100 mph third gear. You cover secondary roads swiftly and always screaming. Maybe you should fix or improve the seats and drive even more. Why not ? Its a keeper. What tyres do you use ? Maybe a softer / different one could be a tad quieter. Make it a tiny tiny bit softer. These special 911s are really really appealing .. I would have mine in light blue metallic ! Thank you for the video and ride

[@marcnobel3938]

I must say the watch fits the car perfectly in this Video. - The GT3 Touring is so timeless you could still go to the event in 20 years and look good. - Cool Cars, great sounds, and entertaining to watch. Superb Video!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Cheers, Marc

A GT3 without a wing, for which you will now have to pay almost a 50% premium and remember, it was a zero cost option on release. Nice car, but I will just get a manual GT3.

What a great day. Glad to see the car is being used for what it was made for. Love doing convoys/drives brings like minded people together to drive.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GoBrosb]

Great to see the Touring being properly used. I doth my cap in your direction!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Muchos gracias

[@duncanbleak3819]

Love the real road trips... Harry Metcalf would be proud!

The Touring has given you a hell of a beating, but what a way to go. Name it TYSON😉👍🏾

Glad to see you’re enjoying this masterpiece of engineering! Too many great cars are purchased as Investments 🙄...

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Indeed

[@ourshaunamac]

Has to be SR71 Blackbird, the Red glow are it’s afterburners. Had a chat a while back about my own purchase of a car. Ended up with a manual guards 996 Turbo. 50k miles mint and brings a smile to my face every time I look at it. Keep up the great work, makes my Fri Night

Very cool!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

I believe it's understeering

[@timothybilecki8932]

Fantastic car and video. Glad I got the 18 way adjustable seats on mine.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Good choice!

[@michaelfrancis6423]

I bought my GT3 Touring 5 weeks after a total knee replacement and drove it 2000 k from Mornington peninsular in VIC to Queensland in Aust. The pain was worth it. Get the seat lifting brackets it makes a big difference to those seats. Plan to do a 100000 k in mine as well. Can’t believe people buy these cars and only do 1500 k over 3 years. Really like your videos Thankyou.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Thanks, Mike - what a story you have there - great effort!

[@rivaterrier]

Cracking video. Can’t help feeling that if you plan to put 100,000 miles on it you may want to give your back some respite and replace those carbon buckets with some 18 ways. After all it is a Touring.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Good point

[@joecooper3073]

Great roads, views and cars. Truly the dream, great video

Those rolling and twisty roads looked superb. Put me in the mood to get out there and explore.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING TRIP. DEFINITELY BUCKET LIST!

[@gman5919]

Throughly enjoyed the GT3 and your commentary. Well done for surviving 15 hours!

[@TheCarGuysTV]

👍👍👍

[@egon197]

Great video of Blackie (I own Greenie). Better induction sound than the winged version due to other airfilters. Personally I love the seats, but your 15 hours is a long drive. Cheers.

[@TheCarGuysTV]

Glad you enjoyed

[@MP_pov]

What I think you need is red seatbelts (or perhaps just drivers side), then the red dials will fit the whole car better (edit - and / or a chronograph with a red band or accent)

I noticed as you went through second and third gear, pulling some RPM, that Jag in front of you did NOT hold you up. Loved the video. I'm from Northern New England, U.S. and have had the pleasure of driving the Cotswold's (and fortunately some other roads in England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Tuscany , Italy, etc.). But such beautiful driving roads in the Cotswold's, indeed. We've a few good roads here in the U.S. but I didn't miss a second of your video through the stunning countryside of Wales and England. I always enjoy your work. Cheers!

Wonderful story, Damian ! In full reminiscence to your manly achievement, I will take out my GT3 Touring (now with 18,500 km on the clock), tomorrow morning, when the light comes out, and drive it through the mellow hills between Heidelberg and Frankfurt. Your story resonated totally with my feelings when in that great piece of car.

Fantastic - have a great drive, Stefan
