Or maybe this is Porsche's new wing design combining better weight over the drive wheels AND reverse diffuser aerodynamics?

Jalopnik came out with a great story for it
http://jalopnik.com/5902354/a-porsch...ke-its-its-job

A Porsche That Drops Construction Cones Like It’s Its Job
Porsche has taken 911 special variant editions to all new levels, with this — the Porsche 911 GT3 RS VM edition. It's the first ever Porsche designed to withstand the insane pressures found on both the race track and in highway construction zones.
Yes, the VM (which stands for Verkehrsminister, the German word for Department of Transportation) Edition lets you have your track day cake and eat it too — knowing you can drive your car to work the next morning.

Hey, Porsche has always marketed their products as sports cars that can be used both in competition and for everyday duties, right? Well then why wouldn't we think this Porsche 911 GT3 RS being used as a autocross-course duty car was just another 911 variant, hmm?

No word yet on how much extra downforce this arrangement produces, or whether this was before or after corner weighting.

That's Scruffy's car.

He is my kind of guy.

GT3 is one of the best autoX cars out there, it puts Boxster/Cayman to deep shame.

I remember mooty writing he used the wing as a diaper-changing table. Wasn't sure if he was kidding.

It's not a GT3 but I think the idea will work just fine!

Too funny.
Whatever it takes to get the course (two practise courses for the BMW school in this case) set up in time. In this case I set 150 cones by myself late the day before and needed more for the end stop boxes and end walls. At the extreme ends of the longest runway at Devens. Not putting filthy cones in my car, I have my limits.

Looks like I may need to switch to a new avatar.
