0:00.0 | Well, I'm at Spa. We were here last year. We drove the Porsche GT collection, but the GT3 RS in |
0:11.7 | the 992 form didn't exist, it had just been announced. We're here a year later, and it |
0:15.7 | exists. I have to pass in this seat belt to keep it from dinging at me, so now I'm wearing |
0:21.2 | all the seat belts. Thanks to Ron Simons and all of our friends at RSR, we are back at one |
0:28.8 | of our favorite places at Spa, Francois Shaw in Belgium. And we're having ourselves a track day, |
0:34.3 | and Ron has graciously offered this car to us. 992 GT3 RS, I currently have it in normal mode. |
0:41.7 | I don't even have it in sport. I've got all of the buttons here to adjust everything you can |
0:45.2 | imagine on the car, but this is my first, like, 100 yards in the cars. Let's work our way up, |
0:51.5 | shall we? I wanted to come into this review not being intimidated by any of this. This feels |
0:56.7 | completely different than the GT3. I mean, not by a little bit either. It's not like I'm kind |
1:03.2 | of thinking I feel something. I'm going quickly, and I'm not straining myself, and I'm definitely |
1:08.2 | not straining the car. Oh, this already makes this easy. That is madness. Those brakes are |
1:15.2 | unbelievable. I was breaking way too early. Okay, all right. Again, I still have it in normal |
1:20.4 | mode. I haven't even cranked it up yet. Once I got heat into the brakes, I realized that's the |
1:27.6 | magic. That's the secret. Oh, the brakes are a utter cheat code. I've got so much braking power. I |
1:34.8 | can laugh at everybody else in the braking zones. You can dive so much farther into brakes. You can |
1:41.5 | outbreak everybody. The only cars faster than I am on the track right now are the Cupcars. |
1:50.3 | Now I am on Cup 2 tires. The Cupcars out here are running slicks, so we're still on Cup 2 tires, |
1:56.6 | but that's all right. Let's stay with the Cupcars. That sounds like fun. |
2:06.4 | I have no doubt that a better driver than me, like Ron Simons of Ron Simons Racing, would be beating on |
2:16.0 | the Cupcars. He would have nothing on this car with the right driver. Now I'm able to keep up, |
2:22.8 | let him walk away slowly, because this is not my car, and I am not some amazing track driver. |
