This is the 3rd (maybe 4th) time this car has been for sale in the past 24 months. Julien is a real pleasure to deal with (insert maximum sarcasm).

Thanks for the link - Leh's car is very cool and he drives it very well - obviously. I think one of the best features of the MR is that it has traction control, just like the R and RSR - and unlike the current regular non-MR GT3 Cup.

Does anyone know/guess/blind stab if PMNA is contemplating the inclusion of traction control on the upcoming 992 version of the GT3 Cup? It would be a game changer, for sure, but likely cause PMNA's parts division to sell significantly less parts, pieces and tubs.

Highly unlikely. ABS is actually of more value in a Cup and there are plug and play options available that are used in some series.

I agree with you on the value of ABS and wouldn't drive a Cup without it. Outside PCA, I'm not aware of a series where you can use TC - IMSA is a definite no - and I have had a couple incidents where TC would have likely saved my a$$.

I was considering buy this MR last year. However, eventually gives up. The number one issue is that there is no races this car can attend. It is purely a track day toy.
On the other hand, there are excellent condition GT3Rs selling ~ 230K EURO, which makes this MR less attractive on this price range. as a track toy, GT3R is much cooler and integrated car.

you can run in PCA gta3 I believe and in any other series that classes cars weight to HP ratio

The appeal of the MR is the run costs are standard cup car costs, vs the run costs of a gt3r, motor time and trans time etc.

But hell ya, a gt3r is bad ***

I really like the MR concept. There should be one car between CUP and GT3. MR is a good concept filling this gap.

One can tell you all about pricing and factory's perception of the "pyramid" blah blah blah. Might as well just tell you this: not happening.

Nobody asked for it. Most won't pay for it. Factory won't build it.

Absolutely no TC in 992 cup. I'm pretty sure about it. Even no ABS in Asia Area.

Is anyone here familiar with Knechges? It is an ABS system like Bosch, but mostly used in Europe. I was told by Mr. Knechges (sp?) himself that it is capable of providing traction control in the GT3 Cup.

Yep! Have it in a customers 991.2 Cup. Works fine! Can be enhanced to act as a TC-System as well!
