So a GT3RS went round the hockenheim GP circuit on Cup 2Rs 3 seconds faster than a GT2RS on standard Cup 2s, 2.5 seconds faster than a 918 on Cup 2s, and 2 seconds faster than a 720s on Corsas.
Definitive proof that it is in fact the tyre that is absolutely remarkable, much more so than the actual cars it is on.
Even if we assume the 911 GT2rs is just one second faster on standard equipment than the GT3rs, this means at least a 4 second gap in performance between the already very capable Cup 2 and the Cup 2R.
4 seconds on a under 2 min course translates to what sort of difference on the 7 min Nordschleife? 10 seconds? 15 seconds? 20???? It would certainly explain the new GT3rs' performance of 6.56

How did you miss the fact that the car has been lightened and power increased, as well as being more track focused?
It’s also different conditions different day, driver?
And besides, that gt2rs time is totally off. It’s now holding so many lap records at so many tracks. You point to one single bad lap and you say that’s all it got?
The GT3/ GT3RS is no slouch. Even the manual GT3 beat the AMG GTR at the Big Willow. That chassis is remarkable
Tyrone1 1w ago @saxy
THAT chassis is more or less identical to the GT2rs no? Genuine question but how different can it possibly be
The 2rs time is only “off” because they actually use Cup 2 tyres and not the cup 2 R thus you see the performance of the car much more than the actual rubber. It is one of the only laptimes on “relatively” standard sports tyres.
And besides, i thought the standard gt3rs had 520hp so how is this an improvement on the stock version?
Even IF it is slightly modified i dont see how this is anything other than an advert for The Cup 2 R
saxy 1w ago @Tyrone1
The website shows a LONG list of modifications. Try google. It was done as a lap record run too because the modifying company needed it to get people to buy their package. Guaranteed the car is tuned, and adjusted to get much more out of the car than the normal mill of the run journalist test where the manufacturer just gives you the keys and say have fun.

Jeez, I don’t understand people hating porsche so much. Almost every manufacturer cheats, and the ones that don’t, just don’t compete(ferrari, some hyunda, mazda mb). So it’s kinda fair.
So theres also lot of people who love porsche, and not just fanboys, like the ones who knows shit anout cars(Chris Harris, F1 drivers, Doug eventually). There’s a lot to love about almost any car, try to love, not hatehate

I’m guessing it was in its highest downforce setting cuz it was barely faster than a civic type R on the backstraight. It’s definitely the closest thing to a GT3 race car you can drive on the road. Good for Porsche to stick with a NA engine. It’s a dying breed with all those manufacturers opting for “lower emissions” and faster 0-400kph times.

already cant wait to see this vs the new upcoming cayman gt4 rs,especially since this time the gt4 can come with the pdk.
Monolith29 1y ago
https://www.motor1.com/news/239334/corvette-zr1-porsche-gt3-nurburgring/ ya they're un-official times but we can expect the new gt3 rs to be under 7 minutes. it says the best for the new zr1 was 7:12 same day... im wondering if it was the manual and or not a pro driver, it should at least match the viper acr at 7:01
