Nice! why touring at SpA instead of your winged GT3?

Sadly the Gopro ran out of battery in the car. It was left on in the other GT3

i took both. Will write some comparative notes a bit later. Had the Touring in one session then jumped straight in the Winged one for the next session.

The interesting thing was that there were probably over 600 Pcars there and mine was the only Touring...and boy did it grab attention. I lost count how many people asked about the car or took pictures. Winged 991.2 GT3s were dime a dozen. Probably over 50 cars. Indeed, there were more 991.2 GT3s than 991.1 GT3s. PAG must be really pumping these out. My dealer has two unsold units including a PTS Slate Grey car.

There is probably a strong market to convert winged cars to the desirable Touring spec with a roll cage.

were are the parts/kits available?
what will somebody need?
the aero/suspension difference for "just for fun" driving and tracking not worth mentioning i guess.

Video of my Touring at Spa driven by my PI who took a friend of mine out for his very first taxi ride at a track. And BTW, my PI had never driven a manual on track before.

And there was a concern about the engine noise ?....... Sounds

Nice little poke and dive back for a pass there at one point.

Cant wait to hear this engine going live in my own ears !!!!!

By the sound of his driving, he took to the GT3 "manual on track" like a duck to water. Well done!
Thanks for posting!

That looked pretty rapid, fair dues!

Look forward to hearing about your driving back to back impressions. At somewhere like Spa, I would experience etc the winged car to be in its element. Would be great to hear if there was any difference in performance or feel.

Thanks for posting.
