    Video: Porsche 911 GT3 RS Rally Special

    Hi, I made a small special of the Porsches in German Rally Championships. Enjoy the sound.

    Thank you
    Didn't realise they were pushing the GT3s out on loose stages too

    So when will we see more ex-circuit racers taking to the stages? This is the best use for otherwise redundant track cars ever.
    Buying a car and not driving it is like buying a meal and not eating it.

    Doubt these are "redundant" racers
    If Britain gets road closures back on the law books then expect lots of tarmac focussed cars on our rallies too !!!
    Other European countries have lots of tarmac events

    There was the Aston

    The Porsche GT3s ran in Pikes Peak. Before and after they paved it.

    Yeah Pikes Peak's a bit special one-off tho
    National rallies are regular and less "specialist" I was thinking

    Aside from Porsche and Astons, we had Ferraris as well.

    Our championship is fully run on tarmac.

    I think the advantage of the RR layout, like traction, will probably be just as useful on the loose stuff.....

    These cars do look like the Cup cars no?

    NO, RM, sadly the Porsche on loose is as Porsche has always been on loose .... power-off oversteer
    The Porsche layout works on tarmac because the big rears can guarantee the grip.
    On loose, you lose that and so end up taking stages like a drift driver and as slowly

    Some of them seem to have headlight covers, making a 996 look more like a 997.

    Broken egg headlamp 996s really don't appeal to me, so all the better.

    I actually like the 997 GT3s pre mid-model change the best.

    And ever since Audi introduced four wheel drive to rallying in 1981, the traction advantage was lost forever.

    Works for me. But older? Jeezus man, these are '90s cars.
    Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...
